MILLETS MILLETS MILLETS! On this 74th Republic Day, Hilton Chennai is featuring millets; ancient grains with home-style flavors as an essential part of the meal at Vasco’s, the all-day-dining restaurant! Celebrating the day with an agenda to manage a healthier lifestyle for everyone with the “Go healthy with Millets at Hilton Chennai” #MilletOClockatHiltonChennai motto.
What better way to kick-start the year 2023 than the “go healthy” mantra? With the support and declaration by the United Nation’s General Assembly (UNGA), the Government of India is celebrating the people’s movement called “International Year of Millets 2023” (IYOM) to make millets and their based recipes globally accepted in terms of their consumption.
“Many might actually be unaware of the fact that millets hold multiple health benefits making this campaign furthermore purposeful. It is common to observe poor dietary practices due to extensive business travel by many whereby Hilton Chennai aspires to offer the guests an unparalleled experience for their stay and dining. To manage the well-being of the guest during their busy schedule, we offer a balanced diet with Millet O’clock and other nutritional offerings at Hilton Chennai” says Jameson Solomon, the General Manager of Hilton Chennai.
Supporting this interesting campaign, Hilton Chennai is proud to announce its participation in the IYOM 2023 campaign to raise awareness of the significance of the consumption of millet in our day-to-day life. The hotel is encouraging its guests to consume more healthy meals with millet-based dishes during their stay at Hilton Chennai. Featuring millets every day throughout the year as one of their essential food elements during the evening buffet dinner at Vasco’s restaurant is a way to deliver their commitment to a healthier lifestyle. The hotel is also found to boost millets at their Big-H brunch served every Sunday, to make weekends fun and healthy. Hilton Chennai has taken an initiative to dedicate every month to one millet, in particular, to highlight its importance in terms of its health benefits.
The chefs at Hilton Chennai also suggest simple homemade recipes for our guests to try at home and adapt to a healthy lifestyle. One of those which are not just appetizingly lip-smacking but also healthy in unspoken ways.
