WINE & DINE

forWelcoming2017 Ring in the New Year at one of these fabulous hotels – and then stay to recover! Buffet Bash With buffets going on across five of its restaurants (all starting from 7.30pm), plus a Belle Époque countdown party (think Golden Age glam) in the hotel lobby from 9.30pm, Grand Hyatt Singapore’s got a lot going on this New Year’s Eve. Choose from different buffet dinners (starting from $138 per adult with free-flow premium alcoholic beverages; prices are inclusive of entry to the Belle Époque party) at mezza9, StraitsKitchen, Pete’s Place and 10 Scotts restaurants, or an alfresco barbecue buffet by the pool ($98 per adult including alcohol, or $48 per child; doesn’t include Belle Époque entry). If you’d rather skip a sit-down dinner and head straight to the countdown party, single tickets are $88, and include a free flow of premium beverages such as Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque vintage champagne, live entertainment and a dessert extravaganza. 10 Scotts Road.

The restaurant’s special six-course set dinner menu ($128) will include such highlights as a poached prawn and caviar appetiser, and a main course of grass-fed beef tenderloin with tempura, and cod, carrot and saffron, along with Ruinart Champagne sorbet and other sweets. Diners can continue their celebrations upstairs at HI-SO with a bottle of champagne for $100. For reservations, call 6701 6800 or email H8655@sofitel.com. 35 Robinson Road. sofitelsosingapore.com
