Hyatt cooking up a truly Lenten special

Whoever said Lent is the most boring of all seasons should think again.

Hyatt Regency Saipan is cooking up appetizing dishes that are sure to send waves of excitement in everyone’s taste buds for the whole month of March.

The special dishes will be served in all of Hyatt’s six in-house restaurants that offer a diverse gastronomic experience, says Food and Beverage Director Malcolm Omond.

Hyatt Regency is breaking all-time tradition of fast during this season as it clears the road for a Lenten seafood feast. “One day a week, people would want to go out and treat themselves to something special,” says Mr. Omond.

“People expect us to be good. They expect us to give them different things so we are always looking for ways to meet their expectations. We wouldn’t want to fail them,” he adds.

Every Friday evening for the month of March is Seafood Fantaseas Night at the Kili Cafe Terrace, which whips up a luscious seafood buffet dinner complemented by bottomless cans and bottles of Bud family of beers.

Food enthusiasts can drown themselves to a pool of excellent food at the Splash/Skipper’s Bar as they get the rare chance to pamper themselves with a half-hour massage at Club Elan.

A toss of authentic Italian cuisine awaits locals and tourists at Giovanni’s, as Saulo Bacchilega creates an exquisite dining experience served in six new dishes spiced with Parmesan cheese. Giovanni’s “Parts of Parmesan” offers a fascinating selection of new Italian dishes created by Chef Saulo.

Giovanni’s is also opening its doors to the crowd-drawer gourmet lunch every last Friday of each month, says Mr. Omond, who adds that the lunch features full antipasto buffet, soup and dessert bar.

An explicit journey under the sea via the Ocean Fantasy set menu awaits “food-o-philes” at Hyatt’s Teppanyaki, where Chef Joe and his team prepares a sumptuous selection of fresh fish and seafood. Want to make sure they are fresh? Wait until you see Chef Joe and his team prepare and cook the food on the spot.

The Chinese Restaurant satisfies guests’ cravings for lobsters and crabs, served with four variety of sauces to choose from for a little over $50 per person. Still can’t get enough? You may want to indulge in the seven-course menu prepared by Chef Ng.

Mr. Omond says Miyako is also laying down the buffet table for guests with seven different appetizers every night for the whole month of March. The Tapa Buffet, offered at only $14 per person, is best accompanied by Sake.

But Hyatt is not only about excellent food. Mr. Omond says Hyatt makes sure that each and every guest is satisfied to complete their incomparable dining experience. The management and staff are always on their toes to reach out and serve to their guests’ pleasure.

“We make them feel welcome,” says Mr. Omond who believes that friendly service and affordable prices are inseparable.
