For The Quintessential Italian Christmas
La Scala is celebrating Christmas with quintessentially Italian dishes across three courses, also for lunch and dinner.

We recommend topping up $58 per head for two hours of free-flow sparkling wine, beers and house wines, because what's an Italian Christmas without booze?

For Christmas Cakes and Boozy Bakes
This Christmas, celebrity pastry chef Janice Wong unveils a treasure box of edible gifts and sweet treats, including five new festive (and occasionally boozy) cake creations to brighten your table. The pièce de résistance? The Royal Celebration Cake ($112) comprising rich, creamy vanilla chantilly mousse encasing two layers of pistachio sponge, mango compote and Cointreau oolong tea mousse.
Her four other creations come in festive shapes, including Santa's Present ($10) wrapped in miniature spheres of sour cherry mousse and Christmas Tree (S$12) mousse, which slices open to reveal layers of green tea almond dacquoise, green tea ganache and pear cinnamon parfait.
