What do we love about Christmas other than the gatherings, gift exchanges and Starbucks’ festive menu? It has got to be the mouth-watering dishes! From turkey roasts to gingerbread cookies, Christmas is a time of festive cheer and indulgence.
But there’s something which we can do without for all the Christmas feasts… and that is having to prepare the feast from scratch. Even before cooking, picturing the amount of potential mess in the kitchen is enough to trigger a headache.
Well, good news – the Cold Storage Gift and Food Guide is here to help. Available in-stores and online, the guide brings you a catalogue of the finest selection of yuletide goodies. We browsed through their Christmas catalogue and would like to feature a few items which stood out against the rest.
All items are available for pre-order until 20th December.
Items Below $100
Hearty Christmas Feast
The Hearty Christmas Feast ($89.95) includes a roasted chicken with rosemary and filled with chestnut stuffing, honey turkey ham, smoked garlic chicken sausages, ribeye roast beef and brown sauce. The easiest part is, no cooking involved. Simply heat up the items before serving and they’re good to go.
Raspberry Glazed Bone-in Ham
Another one of our picks is the Raspberry Glazed Bone-in Ham ($69.95) that serves up to 15 to 25 people. This 2.5kg worth of goodness is ready to serve, no further preparations needed.
Items Below $50
Sous Vide Turkey Breast in Net with Szechuan Peppers
For all the novelty chasers, a fusion of the East and West now comes in the form of a Sous Vide Turkey Breast in Net with Szechuan Peppers ($49.95). With this year’s trending dish, Szechuan Mala, as the key spice used for this dish, we bet this meat dish will make your party the talk of the town this Christmas.
Roasted Pork Belly with Dried Berry, Mushroom and Olive Stuffing
If you’re afraid to try lamb or turkey this festive season, and would prefer something closer to heart, The Roasted Pork Belly with Dried Berry, Mushroom and Olive Stuffing ($39.95) is a delectable dish with all the luscious meat hidden beneath a layer of crispy skin. Great for an intimate party of 4 to 6 people.
Ondeh Ondeh Enchanted Log cake
Kill two birds with one stone with The Ondeh Ondeh Enchanted Log cake ($39). Catering to both the older generation and the millennials, this log cake is a perfect finish to any party.
Items Below $30
Chicken Ragout in White Wine Sauce
Even if you’re not planning to host a party, the Chicken Ragout in White Wine Sauce ($29) is a perfect serving dish for a family Christmas dinner. It reminds us of the nourishing chicken stew that mum used to make. This seems like a great addition to the Christmas dinner table – less preparation time required, which leaves us with more quality family time instead.
Savoury Skewers Platter
Who loves a good bulgogi? We do! The Savoury Skewers Platter ($29.95) comes with three different skews, namely the Truffle Chicken, Beef Ragu, and Prawn with Capsicum. Variety keeps one happy – talk about value for money! What’s more, this platter comes with a bulgogi sauce that goes perfectly with any type of meat.
