Goodwood Park Hotel Has A New Local-Themed Afternoon Tea Buffet With A Month-Long National Day Promotion

Love an afternoon tea moment but crave local food? You'll get the best of both words with The Local Palate Afternoon Tea Buffet at L’Espresso, Goodwood Park Hotel, available till 30 September 2026.

L’Espresso's usual afternoon tea staples - cucumber sandwiches, mini croissants, charcuterie, smoked salmon, cheeses and hot delights - are served alongside treats infused with flavours of local favourites like chilli crab, rendang, butter chicken and pandan. There's also a National Day promotional price for the whole month of August!

The traditional afternoon tea staple, finger sandwiches, get a comforting taste of home with fillings like Organic Egg & Pork Floss and Otah Otah Butter.

There's also a new spin on some of the open-faced sandwiches including Crabmeat Salad with Laksa Mayonnaise, Curry Chicken Salad with Raisin & Mango Chutney, and Applewood Smoked Duck Breast in Egg Crepe with Hoisin Mayonnaise. For croissants, try the Poached Prawn & Chicken with Hae Bee Hiam Dressing which has juicy chunks of meat with an addictive spicy kick, wrapped in a buttery pastry.

Over at the hot station, there's a slew of delectable dishes including two we went back for second and third helpings. The Grilled Cheese Bratwurst with Colcannon has succulent sausage paired with simple yet hearty Irish mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage, and the aromatic Crispy Five-Spice Duck Confit has a lovely crackling skin, paired with sour plum mayonnaise.

Another highlight is the fragrant Beef Rendang with Kaffir Lime Leaves & Toasted Coconut, best enjoyed with Crispy Prata dipped in the rendang sauce.

More hot dishes incorporating local dishes include Baked Black Pepper Chicken & Mushroom Strudel, Chinese Sausage & Leek Quiche Duo, Cheesy Nyonya Pork Lasagna, and Butter Chicken Naan Pizza.

At L’Espresso's live carving station, there's Baby Pork Rib that's reminiscent of satay when covered in lemongrass peanut sauce and paired with pickled vegetables.

Keep an ear out for a ringing bell which indicates that the Chef's Specials are ready. These extra-indulgent treats are available in limited quantities.

This local edition includes an amazingly crispy Soft Shell Crab Slider with a mildly spicy chilli crab sauce, a Hainanese Chicken Arancini on scallion sour cream, and an uber-fragrant version of the jiggly soft Japanese purin, Pandan Cream Caramel & Forest Berry.

Once you're ready for dessert, even more familiar flavours await at the sweets shelf.

The Pineapple Financier, Pandan Gula Melaka Cake, Ondeh-Ondeh Cake, and Raspberry Rose Bandung Cake deliver on taste and presentation with pretty edible flowers.
