An Edible Art Extravaganza: Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony with Janice Wong

Marking the commencement of the holiday festivities, the hotel’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony on 6 December, 2023, promises an unforgettable experience. The event is graced by a magical, edible art wall, a masterpiece crafted by the ingenious Singapore-based food artist, Janice Wong. Renowned for her innovative approach to dessert-making and art, Wong’s creations offer an immersive sensory experience. This event is a testament to the hotel’s commitment to blending luxurious hospitality with ground-breaking artistic expression.

Over the years, Janice has redefined the boundaries of dessert-making and art, turning every creation into an immersive experience for the senses. Her journey began with her flagship brand, 2am: dessertbar, establishing a culinary philosophy that fuses flavours, textures, and interactive art. This ethos was further embodied in her confectionery retail venture, Janice Wong Singapore. Pure Imagination showcases her devotion to chocolate-making with a beanto-bar approach, while Softhaus reinvents ice cream flavours. The year 2021 marked a significant milestone for Janice Wong and her brands as they secured funding from Vertex Ventures SEA and India, propelling their international expansion. Already leaving a mark in the UK, Japan, and Korea, her sensational masterpieces are expanding to Sydney, Australia.

Adding to the allure of the tree lighting ceremony, the evening host by well-known Master of Ceremony Ms. Novita Angie, and will be serenaded by the revered harpist Maya Hasan, Gema Swara Pesona Choir and Taman Musik Entertainment.
