Time’s Been Hiding in Office Chairs & Santa’s Sleighs
Can you believe it? That second Christmas while we’re still treading the pandemic shuffle—ah, the great joys of waiting! Guess what might give a jolt of holiday magic to our holiday blues? Why not roll out the red carpet of a Christmas feast that looks like the star of a movie set?
Reality Check: We’re Not Hot‑Dish Chefs
Truth‑talk: most of us have more “wallet” and “wild life” than “chef.” The idea of simmering a giant pot, chopping a garden of greens, and marveling the family around a table is as dreamy as a unicorn riding a comet. The real challenge? Time, energy and the skill to turn that pile of groceries into a dinner that’s nice and healthy.
Don’t Let Your Guests Get sick of the leftovers!
- Three‑Course Classic – 1‑day delivery, all the classics, no prep.
- Honey‑Glazed Turkey Delight – ready, set, feast, no hunting.
- Vegan Wonderland – plant‑powered, wow‑factor guaranteed.
- Family‑Size Roast Bonanza – big plates, big laughs, less cooking.
- Seafood Sensation – ships straight to your plate.
- Hearty Comfort Stew – warm, cozy, and ready after 30‑min.

- Quick & Crispy Kebabs – quick, tasty, and easy to taste.
- Kid‑Friendly Platter – fun shapes, real flavors.
- Cheerful Chocolate & Berry Mélange – dessert only items to end shower etc.
All these packages playfully promise a value‑for‑money vibe—thanks to you having a happy, stuffing‑free dinner! (Prices inclusive of GST unless told otherwise—just a little jargon to keep the math neat.)

Christmas Feast Finds on Sheng Siong
In a World of “Too‑Expensive” Gifts
We all know the struggle of curling up with a budgeting app and then spotting a nifty deal on Carousell. If you keep shopping there for holiday hampers, you already get the drill of how to stretch a shopper’s budget during a season that feels like a retail Night at the Museum.
