The signature Cajun Turkey ($138) from Carlton City Hotel Singapore makes its return this year.

The classics like cranberry marmalade, giblet gravy and bread sauce are available, but those who prefer a more exciting flavour profile will love the spicy ‘mala’ chicken sauce, pineapple-wasabi marmalade and honey green mango marmalade.
