If you are looking to adorn your celebratory dinner at home with a visual delight that’s also a sweet treat, Mandarin Oriental has that sorted. The rum-infused Nutty Caramel, a crunchy puff pastry topped with hazelnut Pain de Gênes and caramel catalan cream, is designed for those who enjoy rich, nutty flavours.
Santa made his presence felt in the delightful red and white Santa Berry – made up of raspberry sponge, cassis confit and forest berries mousse, this fruity cake has an added hint of earl grey and citrusy yuzu notes.
If you have guests who are clued in to biblical references, they will certainly reach for second helpings of the Star of Bethlehem, featuring a combination of the warm spice notes of nutmeg and the sweetness of chestnut. Coconut, passion fruit and mango inject tropical flair into this dessert.
There is even a Traditional Roasted Christmas Turkey available at Mandarin Oriental for takeaways.
