Pan Pacific Orchard
Amid the serenity and lush verdancy of Pan Pacific Orchard’s nature-inspired setting, Mosella, brings diners a distinctive À La Carte Style Brunch taking place every Saturday (main image).

Each dish is meticulously prepared to order, promising a dining journey unmatched in quality and flavour.

Complementing the main courses, guests are invited to indulge in an assortment of exquisite desserts, patisserie creations, fantastical chocolates, and artisan cheeses, all thoughtfully arranged at dedicated stations.
