A Seasonal Thanksgiving Feast at Lemon Garden
For Thanksgiving, Lemon Garden presents an extensive selection of international cuisines complemented by a special spread of festive dishes prepared for the occasion. From roast turkey and slow-cooked meats to seasonal accompaniments, the selection offers a variety of flavours to mark the occasion.
Taking centre stage is the Roast Whole Thanksgiving Turkey, filled with caramelised onion, sage and thyme stuffing. Roasted to bring out its savoury flavours and aromatic herbs, the turkey is served with sautéed festive vegetables, golden roasted cocktail potatoes and tender braised red cabbage. Rich giblet gravy adds depth to the dish, while cranberry chutney provides a pleasant tartness to balance the flavours.
The festive spread continues with Slow-Braised Beef Short Ribs, slowly cooked with Roman herbs, carrots, celery and seasonal vegetables until tender, then finished with a rich natural jus that brings out the deep, savoury flavours of the beef. For those who enjoy a classic roast, Roasted Aged Angus Ribeye is served with Yorkshire pudding, cornbread, honey-glazed root vegetables, chimichurri and natural jus, bringing together the richness of the beef with the sweetness of roasted vegetables and fresh herbal notes.
Another highlight is the Rosemary and Garlic-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, slow-roasted until tender, allowing the fragrant rosemary and garlic to infuse the meat. It is accompanied by sweet caramelised shallots, smooth parsnip purée and aromatic rosemary jus. Adding a different flavour to the selection, Southern Buttermilk Fried Chicken offers a crisp, golden coating with a subtle tang from its buttermilk marinade, finished with a hot honey glaze, pickled shallots and creamy smoked-paprika gravy for a balance of sweetness, gentle heat and smoky richness.
The dessert selection brings seasonal flavours to the table, with Maple Pumpkin Pie with Chantilly Cream offering the familiar warmth of pumpkin and spice with a light, softly whipped cream. Caramelised Pecan Praline Pie brings together buttery pastry and toasted nut flavours, while Pumpkin Spice Crème Brûlée pairs smooth, creamy custard with the gentle warmth of autumn spices and a crisp caramelised sugar topping. Other highlights include Sweet Potato Mont Blanc, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Honey-Roasted Fig Mille-Feuille, offering a fitting finish to the festive spread.
All turkeys served across the Thanksgiving dining experiences are specially sourced from local sustainable farms and are halal-certified, allowing guests to enjoy the feast with confidence.
