Speaking about the new, extended menu. Chander Baljee, MD, Royal Orchid & Regenta Hotels, said, “The Sunday Brunch at Royal Orchid, Old Airport Road has grown to be popular and is among the city’s most favourite hotspots over the weekends. The new addition not only caters to old-time and regular visitors wanting to have these options available but also to an emerging global and domestic trend and a growing segment of people with selective & special dietary needs. We are happy to be the first hotel to cater to the need and provide such an extensive spread and to see the initial response we have had in the last two weeks.”
Commenting on this new addition, Chef Rana Dominic Gomes, Area Chef South for Royal Orchid & Regenta Hotels said: “We are constantly researching innovations to present to our guests. Veganism is a growing trend both internationally and domestically and is here to stay. As a hospitality chain, we are conscious of being sustainable. This is just the first step in the right direction. Our pilot brunch was a success with guests looking forward to more innovations in our Vegan cuisine.”
Industry research suggests that as per estimates, the global vegan food market will reach US$ 31.4 billion by 2026. Veganism is purely a philosophy and way of living that seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation, and cruelty. Furthermore, it promotes natural, plant-based food for living which is also a small contribution to our environment. In dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.
