The Christmas season is here, and Goodwood Park Hotel is celebrating with a lineup of indulgent festive treats. One standout is the Winter Raspberry Bliss Log Cake—a delicious almond sponge with a unique grape filling, poached overnight in sherry wine, raspberry puree, and sugar. It’s topped with a sherry-infused pink cream, pecan nut crumble base, and adorned with edible snow powder, coconut flakes, and white chocolate Christmas trees for that festive finish. Each bite promises layers of flavor and texture, making it the perfect treat to share this season!

This October, indulge in a whimsical experience at Goodwood Park Hotel’s English Afternoon Tea Buffet at L’Espresso, featuring rosy-hued treats and European classics, all in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

($8.50) its taste savoury and sweet taste wih thick brown sauce and deep fried onions.i didn't expected that yorkshire pudding to be so soft and chewy texture. But outer texture was quite hard a bit to secure the sauce not to be overflow.

($31.50) one of a kind taste for fish & chips that I have tried from different western 😅 but the fish taste was quite strong and smell but too batter tbh. I know most of people shared bc its quite pricey for one standard and even small size. But it's not suitable for people who eat more to share with people. The french fries was quite thick in size tbh. I know that people feedback that their haddock got not much taste bc they didn't marinated too much taste inside. I felt that it's nice tbh with or without the sauce that they provided chili, ketchup, hp and vinegar at table.

Beside serving their signature crusty banana bread, they also have other items that are perfect for gifting or sharing.

Their petite bundts with assorted flavours come with 10 pieces.

Their flavours include the original Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate ganache, PBJ, yuzu lavender and pistachio hazelnut.

Although the size of each pieces seems small but full of flavours.

Banelé started as a home-based business by a former school teacher, before opening this physical shop at Chancery Court.

A very bright and simple interior occupied mostly by vivid yellow design with wide window bringing in the nature light. A very limited seating area and tables available inside the shop. Otherwise, there’s a few chairs outside the shop also.

If this is your first time visiting the shop, then you definitely should grab their signature banana bread in the shape of brownie.

It is basically a crusty banana-filled bite with a Valrhona Guanaja 70% dark chocolate heart. Which I find it tasted more chocolate on the top of the banana flavour.

They will heat it up for you if you eat it on the spot, otherwise you can bring back home and follow the instruction to heat it up; in order to enjoy the crusty bites.

return factor wise, price point is really high 🥲 maybe will come back for a special item or get a box of choux as a gift for friends as they are really well-done, fresh and clean filling flavors + fancy😊✨

Booked it bout a month in advance for the dining area which only have 4 tables! They also have omakase which looks fancy at $118++ (different items and experience from ala carte)☺️
…
To control spending, we went for their Ala Carte Instead 😂 which came down to bout $116.80 incl gst for 2 pax ( get to choose your favourites at half the price😂)

recommend to get their smoked coffee caramel choux ($11) and seasonal tarte - melon ($22) which are my top favorites💕

Perhaps it’s a side effect of turning thirty, but I find myself enjoying traditional Asian desserts a lot more now. From Pulut Hitam to Tau Suan and to Chendol, I love ‘em all. So when I saw that @enjoyeatinghouse offers Teochew Orh Ni with Butternut Squash ($8++), I ordered it without a second thought.⠀
⠀
Orh Ni is a traditional Teochew dessert that’s yam that’s processed into a paste, sweetened and doused in coconut milk. Over here at Enjoy Eating House, they have added butternut squash and ginkgo nuts for a little textural variety. The yam paste was silky smooth and slightly sticky, and each swallow goes down easy thanks to the lubrication provided by the coconut milk. The yam paste was sufficiently sweet and earns the ultimate Asian praise of ‘not too sweet’. The butternut squash and gingko nuts did add extra resistance to the otherwise soft & smooth texture for a little variety.⠀
⠀
If you ever decide to patronise @enjoyeatinghouse , don’t forget to order this delightful dessert so you can truly enjoy eating at this house.

And now for @enjoyeatinghouse star attraction, please give it up for their Singapore Style Chili Prawns ($28++)! Five titanic, mercifully de-shelled prawns with the heads still on arrive fresh from the market. These jumbo prawns are then stir-fried with Enjoy’s execution of the familiar & beloved Singaporean chili crab sauce. The five prawns are fantastically fresh, as evidenced by their supple & snappy textures.⠀
⠀
The flavour comes exclusively from the egg-stravagantly eggy chili gravy, which is sweet & salty in equal measure. Lots of egg bits are floating around in this mildly spicy gravy for a little additional texture, but the charming combination of savoury & sweet is what compels you to give more pleasure to your palate. Better yet, squeeze out as much of the flavour lurking in the prawn heads into the gravy, mix it up and, well, enjoy the taste. Enjoy knows how gloriously gratifying their gravy is, as they offer you the opportunity to try & mop up as much of this delicious chili prawn gravy with their deep fried mantous ($2++ for 4).⠀
⠀
Enjoy Eating House’s Chili prawns are good, but what’s holding them back from greatness is the viscosity of the gravy. Or rather, the lack thereof. The chili gravy was rather runny & thin, and putting any of it on the prawns or the mantous resulted in the gravy just flowing right off. All that’s needed now is for Enjoy to thicken the gravy, and its rating would get bumped up to legendary status.
