Duck lovers will love Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, one of the local restaurants that made it into Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2015. Santa Gnome always orders the Peking duck because the chef personally carves the duck dextrously into thinly crispy pieces with little meat and fats in his presence when serving and the skin is roasted to the perfect level of crispiness that leaves him wanting more. Courses start from S$98++. Talk about good service for such delicacy!
Address: Paragon, #05-42/45 and Asia Square Tower 1, #02-08/10

If you're planning a date with that mademoiselle and aren't good with French restaurants, Au Petit Salut is a multi award-winning French restaurant at Dempsey Hill and offers a cosy ambience that is perfect for a date. Its pan seared foie gras is Santa Gnome's favourite dish as it has the perfect texture and sauce to intensify his appetite. It offers a 3-course Christmas set lunch from S$38++. If French for lunch is not her cup of tea, Au Petit Salut offers a 4-course Festive Set Dinner from S$98++ as well. Doesn't it sound just delicious? Bon appétit!
