IHG rolls out new menu for children

Dubai, June 23, 2014

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is set to roll out its new signature InterContinental Planet Trekkers Menu, created exclusively for children, across its InterContinental Hotels and Resorts properties. 
 
Designed exclusively for young InterContinental hotel guests by award winning chef Theo Randall and child food expert and best-selling international author Annabel Karmel, the new menu was developed with nutrition and food exploration at its core, said a statement.
 
It features delicious dishes with a myriad of flavours, textures, smells and tastes that will take children on an educational culinary voyage around the world while ensuring an enjoyable and nutritionally balanced meal, it said.
 
Randall is renowned for creating simple, authentic dishes using the best and freshest ingredients, which has resulted in his Italian restaurant being lauded as one of the best in London, while Karmel has written over 37 books on children’s nutrition and cooking for children, and is internationally recognised as a leading authority on helping children to eat properly.
 
As part of the menu’s development, Karmel and Randall conducted a test and learn tasting session with young guests to explore a variety of ingredients that appeal to all palates.
 
“Dining while on holiday is as much a part of the overall adventure as sightseeing. For this menu we’ve experimented with a variety of flavours, ingredients and combinations to develop a range of dishes that would be familiar to a child’s palate yet create excitement around their dining experience at InterContinental Hotels & Resorts around the world,” said Randall.
 
“I think the dishes we’ve created for this menu will leave as much of an impression on the children as the destinations they are visiting,” he said.
 
Simon Scoot, vice president Global Brands, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and IHG Global Resorts, said: “As part of IHG’s promise of delivering exceptional experiences for our guests, we are the first hotel company in the world to develop a signature children’s menu in collaboration with two culinary experts. 
 
“With more than half a million children visiting our InterContinental Hotels & Resorts each year, we want to ensure that we are giving them the opportunity to enjoy ‘Food Exploration,’ which was our guiding principle when creating the new menu.” 
 
The InterContinental Planet Trekkers Menu is available in InterContinental Hotels & Resorts across Asia, Middle East and Africa and will be available globally by the end of July. - TradeArabia News Service
