The focus was laid upon 3 things that evening:
THINK GLOBAL. EAT LOCAL
The very talented and our very own Sous Chef, Nigel Wooding with his creative flair put together a special Earth Hour menu (See copy below). This menu was inspired from creations of the world that promoted the ‘global’ term using the local ingredients to its fullest thus complimenting towards our motto of thinking global and eating local. The entire kitchen team performed with sheer excellence in minimal lighting and lived up to the quality standards of the Starwood brand.

GO ORGANIC
Special tent cards were created to be placed on each table informing guests about the significance of Earth Hour and promoting the special drinks created for that evening (See copy below). For the restaurant guests to support the organic nature of ingredients, we offered the ‘Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon’ that gets its flavour from organic vineyards. The organic grapes not only make the wine taste better but also support the organic agriculture which is one of the best means of creating sustainable social and economic upliftment.
To further add to their options, we also carried the ‘Mill Street Organic Lager’ that is made with imported organic New Zealand Hallertau Hops and Breiss Organics 2-Row Brewers Malt to create a uniquely refreshing lager with a distinct European flavour. It was a perfect complement to our guest’s healthy lifestyle and exceptional taste.

GO GREEN
We chose the ‘Go Green’ motto to celebrate the colour of nature and environment. To promote this action, we introduced 2 special cocktails namely the ‘Alien Secretion’ (melon liqueur, pineapple juice, rum) and ‘Cold Shower’ (green crème de menthe, club soda). Both drinks were welcomed with open arms by our guests making it a frequent choice of the evening to raise a toast towards this legendary hour.
