Classic Christmas Treats

The joyful singing of Christmas carollers rang through
the lobby of Dorsett Hotel KL and reverberated all the way up to the first
floor to Checkers Café.
It was 7pm and the occasion was the
lighting of the Christmas tree. Earlier, guests and media members sipped
cocktails and nibbled canapes at the Windows Lounge where the Christmas Market
was in full swing.
Clothing, copper ware, artisan jewellery
and other craft attracted shoppers. One stall caught my eye. Nicole Lim (www.facebook.com/NicListOfMustHave)
offers Flower Power Raw Honey, Virgin Coconut Oil and tangle-free combs/brushes
among other health products.
The Christmas Market will be on till
December 21 from 11am to 8pm, so do hurry if you want to pick that special gift
for your family and friends.

At Checkers Café, dessert is what you
see when you step in. A reminder, perhaps, to save a bit of tummy space for the
array of sweet treats that include a macaron Xmas tree and a profiteroles Xmas
tree, standing proudly amongst little cupcake trees, Gingerbread houses, log
cakes, fruit cake, fruit tarts and charcoal cones filled with custard and
fruit.

The island table is groaning under the
weight of tiers of cold cuts, cheese (including deepfried mozzarella fingers)
and roulades. There’s mousse, ham, chicken and two types of smoked salmon, while
right behind it are mussels on ice and crisp salad greens.

I headed for the trays of hot food,
with two types of soup: Minestrone and a creamy Chestnut. I fill my plate with
Stirfried Vegetables, Seafood Lasagna, Smoked Duck Breast Confit, Baby Potato
with almond/chilli flakes, Thermidor Capsicum, Braised Chicken with Squash and
Steamed Fish Fillet.

Then we happily tuck in to more festive fare with
Roasted Turkey and and a tender Leg of Lamb, accompanied by roasted vegetables, chestnut stuffing and
choices of gravy at the side, including mint and cranberry sauce, giblet gravy and black pepper sauce.

There are two cooking stations. Just
pick your favourite ingredients from the tray filled with sliced beef, chicken, fish and sausages and chef
will stirfry them a la minute. Or choose from spaghetti and fettucine for a plate
of hot pasta.
