Thanks to the wonderful invitation, I recently went to MiCasa All Suite Hotel for their #BeyondTheHour Earth Hour event.
Starting as a symbolic lights out event in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour, which will be held on the 30th of March globally, is now the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment, inspiring millions of people to take action for our planet and nature.
23rd of March was the kick off of a week-long ‘MiCasa Beyond the Hour’ effort. Starting off that evening with a ‘light’s out’ session at public areas adorned only with the use of minimal lighting or candlelight. Guests gathered by the pool to witness the giant 60+ logo made of 365 candles – dedicating a candle a day to mother earth.
Following closely throughout the week, the team at MiCasa would engage in selfless efforts to keep the fire burning till the finale on 30th March through thematic efforts that starts from home right through the workplace.
MiCasa also introduced their newly set up ‘Edible Garden’ to the guests, where herbs were plucked freshly to concoct the Botanics & Spice Mocktail being served that evening.
It is MiCasa’s effort to cultivate a communal garden that would be environmentally beneficial. Staying true to the hotel’s tagline of ‘Botanics & Spice’, fresh herbs are plucked and used by the hotel’s Chefs from this same garden.
We were treated scrumptious dinner at the Tapas Bistro & Bar. Oysters were part of the special promotion that evening aptly themed – The World is your Oyster. Our oysters platter with 4 different varieties – Fresh, Deep Fried, Kilpatrick and Mornay). It was a fete of the senses and palate at the Tapas.
Next, we had the appetizer combo consists of Caesar Salad, Deep Fried Camembert Cheese and Smoke Salmon Bruschetta. For main course, guests can choose to have the Pan Fried Pink Ling or Grilled Marinated Lamb Chop, which is equally delicious to me.
A triple treat serenade from guest bands keeps the evening at a hype with lots of oldies as well as some pop rock songs.
Join MiCasa All Suite Hotel and millions across the globe to be a part of Earth Hour and turn off the lights. To participate, log on to www.earthhour.org.
