When Lroy Lim goes for Christmas parties, he confesses that he always skips the main dish as most iterations fall short of his expectations.

“In keeping with the Christmas spirit, most people would look at the main dish as being the most important dish, but as a person who likes food, I generally avoid turkeys. Because for me, a lot of places don’t really do turkey well – they end up dry or tough. So most of the time, I skip it and go for the sides instead.
