After a month and a half of being closed, Café 1228 at the New World Makati Hotel reopened its doors on the penultimate day of February. The refurbishment includes a brighter interior with new countertops and even a hydroponics system at the salad station—meaning your salad is essentially alive. This renovation also marks the welcome of the new Executive Chef, Warren Brown.
Café 1228 has introduced the hydroponics system at the salad station, providing fresh, sustainably grown greens. "Sustainability is a core value of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, and having our own hydroponic garden is a step in that direction. By growing our own herbs and greens, we reduce waste, cut down on transportation emissions, and ensure that we're using the freshest ingredients available. It's a great way to bring sustainability into the heart of our kitchen while delivering better quality to our guests," Mr. Brown said in an email.
He added, "The renovation allows us to elevate everything—from the ambiance to the quality of food and service. We wanted to create a more engaging and interactive atmosphere where guests can truly enjoy great food in a vibrant setting."
The refurbishment of the café is only the first step.
