A Peek at the Christmas Menu
Blue Pavilion’s Classic Christmas Menu feels like it was made to bring a little joy to the table. Whether you’re starting with something crispy, indulgent, or packed with bold flavours, the options will make you wish you could pick them all.
For starters, the Kataifi Dragon Rolls have that perfect crunch, and the Teriyaki Chicken Skewers are so tender they almost melt in your mouth.

These aren’t just starters—they’re the kind of plates that set the tone for the meal ahead.
As the meal unfolds, the second course brings the classic delight of Aromatic Crispy Duck Pancakes. Served with freshly sliced cucumber, crisp spring onions, and a rich hoisin sauce, this course is all about interactive dining and indulgent flavours. The perfectly roasted duck, with its golden, crispy skin, pairs beautifully with the light pancakes, offering a satisfying balance of textures and tastes.
Then there are the mains. The Fillet Steak in Mongolian Sauce is rich and hearty, while the Stir-fried King Prawns with Asparagus bring something fresh to the table. For those who like a bit of sweet with their savoury, the Chicken in Lychee Sauce is a flavour twist you won’t forget anytime soon. And it’s not just about meat and seafood—vegetarians and vegans get to enjoy the Tenderstem Broccoli with Garlic & Ginger Sauce, which is so packed with flavour it doesn’t feel like a “side dish” at all.
Of course, every main needs something to round it out. Steamed or fried jasmine rice keeps things simple and satisfying,
