The Melia Santo Domingo on the Malecon seafront avenue is hosting a Macadamia Festival at its Cafe Casabe restaurant, located right opposite the hotel entrance. Some 30 delicacies, including salads, soups, main dishes and desserts, have been created by Mexican chef Oscar Orbe for the delight of customers. The Festival is a la carte, with most dishes ranging from RD$300 to RD$600. The Festival begins at 7pm today and will continue through Saturday, 27 October, from 7 to 11:30pm. La Loma brand macadamia nuts, cultivated as part of a project initiated by Jesus Moreno of Helados Bon to save Dominican forests, are the main ingredient in the featured culinary creations.
Mmmm! I love macadamia nuts.
