With 2018 being a milestone 90th anniversary for the iconic Fullerton building, Executive Pastry Chef Siddharth Prabhu has refreshed the well-known “Chocolate Buffet” at “The Courtyard in Fullerton Hotel” as part of their year-long celebration.
There’s now a small selection of savoury items (that still contain chocolate!) of Cocoa and Spice-rubbed Baby Back Pork Ribs, Lime Risotto and Bittersweet Chocolate Arancini, Empanadas stuffed with Wagyu Beef, Peruvian Chocolate and Poblano Chilli, as well as a Quiche with Trout with White Chocolate. These are nice when you want a break from rampaging through the rest of the sweetness.
Besides the spread of exquisite desserts from cakes to tarts to handmade fine chocolates (the matcha pralines are to-die-for), you can visit the new “live nitro station” to pick up a plated multi-textural dessert centered around a chocolate sphere, flash-frozen crushed meringue, sponge crumble and espuma. My dining partner-in-chocolate-crime, Burpple Tastemaker Vanessa Koh, liked this a lot.
For drinks, they offer cocktails, hot chocolate (pick from white, milk or dark and it’ll be boiled on the spot with your preferred seasoning) and their commemorative special, the “Milo Zero”. It got its name from the Fullerton building being “Point Zero” for measuring road distances in the past.
This buffet takes place every Friday and Saturday from 8pm to 11pm. The price for an adult is $45++ but they have higher tiers with different kinds of alcohol so do ask when you are there. Kids between 6 and 11 years can indulge for only $22++.
