The Marmalade Pantry (Oasia Downtown)

Linguine in a prawn bisque sauce with seared scallops and prawns. Was hoping for a slightly saucier base, but otherwise it was a nice dish with al dente linguine. It’s a bit pricey, but you do get a good number of prawns and scallops that were cooked just right. Service was warm!

Apart from the range of hot teas by the pot, there’s also Matcha Latte for the non-coffee drinkers. It leans more milky than I like, and is quite sweet.

Available for dine-in as festive-set meals, takeaway and delivery, these treats will surely bring joy and smiles at the dining table.

For takeaways and deliveries, the following are part of the carvery delights from the newly launched Roasted Turkey with Honey, Lavender and Peppercorn ($128), Lavender Honey Pepper Chicken ($58), Lemon & Thyme Slow-baked Salmon Fillet ($78) and Rosemary-infused Roasted Ribeye ($128) to the returning all-time favourite Maple & Clove Glazed Smoked Gammon Ham ($98). To complement the meats, there is a plant-based option of the Impossible Beef Lasagne ($32) or the Chilli Con Carne with Cornbread ($28) to sides such as Roasted Vegetables ($22), Mac & Cheese ($25), Quinoa Salad with Prawns ($26) and Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Vanilla and Maple Glaze ($18). What is a Christmas feast without the sweets? Look no further than the two new log cakes – Classic Chocolate Truffle Log Cake ($68) and Tangy Lemon Pistachio Log Cake ($68) that will leave a sweet ending to your meal.

🥩 Truffle Beef Burger ($26) (9.7/10)
Have you ever had a burger so impossibly good that you find yourself craving it at every mealtime and subconsciously comparing every subsequent burger you have to it? That's how I feel with this Truffle Beef Burger, that is probably the best burger I've had by far. This is partially because of my intense obsession with all things truffle. I firmly believe that truffle makes everything about 14 times better, and it helps that the truffle in this burger is the strongest out of all the truffle burgers I've ever had. Each bite has that lingering fragrance of savoury truffle, paired with stretchy, melty cheese, fluffy, buttery brioche and a super thick beef patty. The only gripe I have with this would be the patty, which was pretty dry and tough but that could be my own fault because I ordered medium well instead of medium rare (mixed them up oops). Not sure if it would be different had it been medium rare but I did not like the dryness. Fries were pretty good but quite standard, the burger is definitely the stand out here!

🍗 Spicy Sriracha Chicken Burger ($24) (9/10)
I took a bite of my friend's chicken burger and while I prefer the truffle burger I got, the chicken is really tender and crispy with a flavourful spice to it. It also comes with a side of parmesan fries which were good too, but my greedy, gluttonous self would prefer muuuuuch more parmesan.

Had the lunch sets ($28 for 2 course) here in this really posh looking cafe. The saffron risotto with scallops was really good 😍 the scallops were very wonderfully seared, and the risotto was so flavourful with the saffron added! The cured pork meat rice tasted more homely 😂 and reminds me of a more elevated version of the roast meat rice you get from hawker centres. The coffee and desserts was okay! Really wished they had more of their pastas options for their lunch sets though!

Available from 1 November 2021 as an ongoing offering, the New Marmalade Afternoon Tea Set* ($68++, for two persons) features the newly introduced Char Siew Kurobuta Pork Belly Tacos, Chilli Crab Vol Au Vent, Mini Spicy Sriracha Chicken Burger, Triple Chocolate Shooters and Taro Swiss Rolls.

For takeaway and delivery, the afternoon tea set receives a makeover with an elegant foldable two-tiered packaging. Specially designed by the homegrown bistro, the plaid-patterned box comes in The Marmalade Pantry’s signature colours of teal and baby pink ( don’t worry it’s doable, just follow the instructions)

The New Marmalade Afternoon Tea Set comes with two pots of Monogram tea for dine-in and two sachets of Monogram tea for delivery.
