At Strawfire by Ross Shonhan, Christmas Eve is a celebration of refined comfort; a seamless blend of modern Japanese elegance and festive spirit. Guests are welcomed to savour a well crafted sharing style menu this holiday season.
In Japan, Christmas is celebrated with a surprising and beloved ritual of sharing fried chicken with family and friends, a tradition later popularised across the world. Strawfire reimagines the experience through its distinctive perspective. The Family Meal presents a crisp half chicken paired with N25 Schrenki Caviar. Each accompaniment, from the Furikake Fries and Mac & Mentaiko to Coleslaw and Chicken Miso Soup, strikes a playful balance of comfort and sophistication, blending East and West traditions with effortless harmony.
Designed to be shared, the Family Meal embodies the spirit of togetherness and the joy of gathering around food. It’s a nostalgic experience that reminds guests how even the simplest pleasures can feel extraordinary when crafted with care. Chef Ross Shonhan’s festive menu celebrates both culture and flavour – the crispy chicken and the creamy slaw pay homage to Western comfort, while the mentaiko, furikake and miso soup is rooted in Japanese soul and tradition. The result is a beautiful reflection of yōshoku, where East meets West in perfect harmony.
To close the evening, guests are treated to Strawfire’s interpretation of the classic Yule Log, a timeless Western dessert reimagined with subtle Japanese finesse. The dessert captures the warmth and nostalgia of the season, uniting familiar holiday comfort with refined artistry. It’s a sweet finale that brings together two worlds, a reflection of Strawfire’s spirit of harmony, joy and togetherness.
