Tis’ the season – the best time to eat, drink and be merry! This holiday season, restaurants at both hotel properties of MGM fully embrace the spirit of festive feasting with an array of lavish delicacies – from festive themed buffets, sweet and adorable afternoon teas, a fine, sumptuous teppanyaki omakase dinner, MGM curates all these palatable feasts to cater to every year-end celebration in style.
Sweet Tooth Indulgence at Anytime
The frosty season is the time to pamper the sweet tooth cravings – from December 15 to January 1, the Christmas Afternoon Tea at MGM COTAI’s Anytime brings a selection of festive desserts and savories, alongside a vivid series of Christmas themed desserts, which are all meticulously crafted with seasonal ingredients and flavors to sweeten up the holidays. Savor the treats with your friends and loved ones at the al fresco atrium, the Spectacle, and enjoy the winter special Sea Odyssey show of flying penguins, blissfully gliding in the air under the Spectacle roof.
A cozy wintery experience would not be complete without indulging a pot of bubbling cheese fondue and hearty chocolate fondue. This December, Anytime is serving a Swiss traditional Cheese Fondue – a classic, rich delicacy made with three types of Swiss cheese, Gruyère, Tête de Moines and Emmental, melted in low heat along with white wines and Kirsch. Nothing compares to pieces after pieces of golden toasted bread coated in the heavenly melted cheese! For extra sweetness and fun, look no further than the Cocoa Bombs – a one-of-a-kind hot chocolate specialty drink; it puts a smile on everyone’s face when seeing a marshmallow and cocoa powder loaded chocolate bomb pops and melts into a velvety hot chocolate.
What’s more, Christmas hampers and take-away menus are specially prepared to share the Christmas spirit. Leave the hustle and bustle of festive cooking to us with some of our staples, like Herb Roasted Turkey and Whisky, Orange and Honey Glazed Ham”, as well as festive pies and cakes to instantly fill the dining table with full festivity. All festive takeaway items are available at Anytime and Pastry Bar from now to January 1.
