Menu additions to their salad section include the Smoked Chicken with Fuji Apple and Walnuts, as well as Marble Potatoes with Crispy Panchetta.
Main courses will include an array of chilled seafood like prawns, mussels and clams; the porchetta, which is their version of the ever popular belly roll with spices of rosemary and fennel; the roast stuffed turkey with bread stuffing and turkey gravy; homemade slow-cooked meatloaf with mushroom gravy; and the Mediterranean favorite, moussaka, layered with eggplant and cheese.
Other Asian influences are also present with roast Peking duck crepe, peach-glazed chicken and honey-glazed pork.
Christmas cheer comes to the dessert table with the green pistachio cheesecake; the cute and festive cherry blossom cake; the matcha and black sesame cake; strawberry green tea mousse; and strawberry butter sponge cake.
Sister restaurants Dekada and Balboa will also be adding to the Banzai spread.
Balboa, which serves Italian food, will be offering four pizzas (all meat, seafood, pesto, four cheese) as well as four sauces (alfredo, aglio olio, truffle mushroom, puttanesca) with twp choices of pasta (penne and spaghettini).
