Go intimate at Forage 

Forage presents an eight-course tasting menu (S$238++) for the season. Available throughout December, each course is inspired by the rainforest, crafted with ingredients from the resort's own edible garden as part of its sustainable harvest to table philosophy. 

Rooted in respect for the environment, Forage champions local sourcing, waste reduction, and the use of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)-certified seafood. Garden-grown herbs enrich its infusions and garnishes, while trimmings are repurposed in sauces and gels—reflecting a culinary philosophy defined by craftsmanship and care for the planet.

Begin the journey with borscht reimagined, featuring beetroot, hand-cultivated mushrooms grown on-site, and gochujang (Korean red chilli paste). Yellowtail with orange and tarragon features in-season fish brightened with citrus and ginger flowers from the edible garden. The red grouper, from the tropical waters of Malaysia, is served with a tableside pour of a broth inspired by phở. Meanwhile, the spiny lobster, sourced from the Indo-West Pacific, is paired with vermouth sauce and fresh dill. 

Paying homage to traditional Christmas flavours is the yellow chicken, roasted with thyme and rosemary from the garden and served with braised red cabbage and Brussels sprouts. The wagyu beef striploin, made with Tajima wagyu, is renowned for its ethical farming practices and lower carbon footprint. It is enriched with truffle and Madeira sauce, then garnished with in-house-grown mushrooms. 

Refreshing the palate towards the end of the meal is the Amalfi lemon, cucumber & mint, which incorporates calamansi and lemongrass from the edible garden. The Conference pear—spiced with ginger and garden tarragon, and paired with tangy blackberry sorbet and sweet glazed chestnuts over vanilla yoghurt meringue—brings a comforting warmth. A selection of mignardises (bite-sized sweets) from Chef Marcus serves as a finale.

Afterwards the riverside setting transforms into a fashion show of intricate Vietnamese costumes, and a sumptuous Christmas dinner ends in roasted marshmallows and chestnuts.

New Year's Eve

In Abu Dhabi, UAE, New Year’s Eve will be marked by a moveable feast at Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara with a ballroom gala dinner erupting into courtyard revelry with DJs, fire artists and fireworks lighting up over the desert of the Empty Quarter. For a uniquely exclusive way to ring in the New Year, Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara, also in Abu Dhabi,  is offering the ultimate private party in its luxurious penthouse, which includes a banquet for up to 25 guests and access to the resort’s Pool Deck NYE Party.

Along one of Bali’s trendiest beaches, Anantara Seminyak Bali Resort is going all out on New Year’s Eve with a rooftop dining celebration to acoustic music as the sun sets on rushing surf, magician tricks and fabulous lucky draw prizes, getting party goers in the mood for a DJ pool party with free flow drinks and a beach bash to beats and fire dancers.

In Thailand’s cultural north, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort pays tribute to its 1920s colonial origins and heritage with a Gatsby New Year’s Eve gala, including Lanna street food and shows by an award-winning indigenous performer.

The jungle midnight countdown at Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort starts with views of three countries, seguing into a lavish poolside banquet and fireworks illuminating the hills of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos. 

In Bangkok, Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel’s choice of steakhouse, Italian, Thai and Japanese dining packages end with a late night celebration in the grand lobby to local DJ soundtracks while Anantara Sathorn Bangkok Hotel’s rooftop dining sashays into a pulsing after-party of live music, fire shows, and DJ beats and bubbles, overlooking a 360-degree view of the city.

New Year's Day

New Year’s Day culinary experiences make hangover cures a gourmet treat, inspired by iconic views – from the natural world wonder of Zambia’s Victoria Falls at The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara, and Bali’s spectacular surf at Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort, to free roaming Arabian wildlife at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Resorts off the coast of Abu Dhabi.

A Maldivian seafood feast takes diners into 2017 with a selection of seafood caught fresh from the Indian Ocean accompanied by views from across the lagoon at Anantara Dhigu Resort. And to help revitalise and start the year well, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort will be offering urban pampering to a whole new level with the advanced technology of Cool Shaping packages for the festive period.
