ITC Hotels Bangalore Present Signature Mornings
We should never undermine the importance of breakfast and yet, due to our ‘notoriously’ busy schedules, we’ve limited ourselves to ‘on-the-go’ food items.
Recognising that breakfast is the most fundamental meal of our entire day, ITC Hotels has designed Signature Mornings; ‘Classic Breakfast Signatures’ that seek to present super-foods in contemporary renderings. These breakfast offerings ensure the blissful luxury of fresh, seasonal local produce while minimising carbon footprint. Laying emphasis on responsible sourcing and bringing back lost grains, each signature dish has been created bearing in mind a ‘caringly sourced’ and ‘mindfully prepared’ approach.

‘Signature Mornings’, a high impression dining experience is a renaissance to ‘Classic Breakfast’ options. Muesli and Berry Brulee flanked by Amaranath {an Indian grain also referred to as ‘Rajdana’}, and Jaggery Brittle Finger Millet {Ragi} being the highlights, the breakfast menu also includes Almond-meal pancakes with Aloe Vera and Black Currant Chutney, Seven Grain Porridge ~ granule jaggery, dried fruit and berries, Finger Millet and Charoli Nut Pancakes served with Aloe Vera and Blackcurrant Relish, and Jaggery Butter Sauce, as an unexpected twist. Of course, the star of this offering is the Eggs Benedict, prepared with free-range eggs and extra virgin olive oil hollandaise, served with locally sourced Birchwood Smoked Chicken Rashers. The changing edition of this menu means that an assortment of ‘Breakfasts of the World’ can be showcased, and the ‘Indigenous Signatures’ are constantly redefined.

ITC Hotels Bangalore Present Signature Mornings: Aside from these enjoyable breakfast options, there is the ‘Pavilion Pure’ ~ juice blends from in-season local ingredients in healthful combinations, arisen seeing the need for the perfect breakfast stimulant that will aid in boosting productivity throughout the day, while also providing a sense of goodness. Abundant with anti-oxidants and vitamins, these ‘Signature Blends’ are formulated to boost immunity, stimulate enzymes, improve metabolic activity, improve blood circulation and eliminate toxin build-up. Utilising ingredients like Aloe Vera, Homegrown Cress, Sprouts of Horsegram, Fenugreek, Pumpkinseed, Flaxseed, Mustard seed, and Tulsi, one can choose from varied combinations of pure elixir like ABC: Apple, Beet & Cucumber, Ginger & Carrot, and so on.

ITC Hotels Bangalore Present Signature Mornings: A mention must be made of the more recent ‘Responsible Luxury’ initiative, ‘SunyAqua’ ~ pronounced Shunya {zero} Aqua ~ which is water infused with indigenous good-for-you herbs. Not only does this enhance the wellness quotient of drinking water, but the bottling takes place within the hotel premises guaranteeing a planet positive experience. SunyAqua is served in two variants ~ Tulsi {Holy Basil} and Fennel, and a Cinnamon blend.
To conclude: ‘Responsible Luxury’ being the guiding school of thought, ‘Signature Mornings’ is an initiative taken to bring breakfast back to its pride-of-place in a person’s day, while at the same time ensuring it is done sustainably.
