INGREDIENTS
Homegrown Goodness
The Estate’s spice garden provide our chef and his culinary team with the chillies, lemongrass, chives, mint, spring onion, curry leaves and basil that spice up an ever changing seasonal and custom menu. Mangoes, coconuts, lemons, passion fruit, guavas, pineapples, and star fruits are just some of the exotic treasures growing from these verdant grounds where organic farming practices reign.
