This October, Allora at Crowne Plaza Changi Airport celebrates two of the month’s most anticipated festivities — Oktoberfest and Halloween — with themed Sunday buffets that promise an indulgent culinary experience. The celebrations begin with a hearty Oktoberfest spread across two Sundays on 19 and 26 October, bringing the convivial flavours of Germany and Bavaria to life.

Guests can savour authentic fare such as Crispy Breaded Veal Schnitzel, Homemade Spätzle with Hazelnut Pesto, Slow Braised Pork Rib with Apple Sauerkraut, and the quintessential Crispy Pork Knuckle. In true Bavarian spirit, beer takes centre stage not only in toasts but also in dishes like Beer and Bacon Cheddar Soup, Beer-marinated Chicken, and Lamb Chops with Beer and Mustard Marinade, alongside BBQ-grilled Sausages, Currywurst, and Prawns with Garlic and Chilli.

The carving station will feature Leberkäse, Slow-roasted Beef Rib, and Roasted Duck Breast, complemented by tangy German salads such as Gurkensalat and Wurstsalat.

Allora’s Italian flair continues to shine with its signature One-metre Pizza, Cheese Wheel Pasta Station, and premium cold cuts, while seafood lovers can relish the luxurious Seafood-on-Ice selection of prawns, crabs, scallops, mussels, lobsters, and oysters.

A Shawarma Station and a spread of Italian and German desserts — from Black Forest Cake and Honey Bee Sting Cake to Sachertorte, Linzer Tart, and Apple Crumble Tart — complete the feast. Guests can also enjoy lighter treats like Red Fruit Trifle and freshly churned Gelato and Sorbet.
