Bangkok, Thailand, October 23, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / Hyatt Asia Pacific is making mindful eating easy with the launch of the "Be More Foodie: Mindful Indulgence" initiative at its eight hotels in Thailand. Working in partnership with a certified nutritionist and wellness expert, the hotels' restaurants and bars have created carefully selected dishes and beverages that not only delight the palate but also meet high nutritional standards, contributing to the overall well-being of guests.

The global hotel chain makes mindful eating easy in its eight hotels in Thailand, creating culinary wellness experiences that are both delicious and nutritious without compromising the enjoyment of the food.

True to Hyatt's culinary philosophy, "Food. Carefully selected. Thoughtfully served." – offering food and beverages that are good for people, society, and the environment – ​​the "Be More Foodie: Mindful Indulgence" campaign emphasizes responsibly sourced ingredients from local Thai farmers. In this way, Hyatt underscores its commitment to sustainability while offering authentic flavors. The campaign also reflects changing consumer behavior, which increasingly prioritizes health-conscious ingredients.

“At Hyatt, our restaurants and bars are the heart of our hotels. We know how much we love good food and how important our guests’ well-being is to us. We believe that food should be both a pleasure and a source of well-being,” said Christophe Sadones, Vice President of Food & Beverage, Events & Product Development, Asia Pacific, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. “In collaboration with a certified nutritionist and wellness expert, our restaurants and bars at the eight Hyatt hotels in Thailand have created culinary experiences that are both delicious and nutritious.” Thailand, known for its rich culinary heritage, provides the perfect backdrop for the launch of “Be More Foodie: Mindful Indulgence.” Guests are invited to enjoy carefully selected dishes and beverages that not only delight the palate but also meet high nutritional standards. These include Thai classics such as Pad Thai, Gai Yang, and Mango Sticky Rice, which have been thoughtfully reimagined: with less sugar and more fiber for an optimized nutritional profile, without sacrificing authentic flavor. Western comfort food dishes have been enhanced through the use of nutrient-rich ingredients, such as whole-wheat pizzas with regional organic vegetables and buckwheat crêpe Suzette with mixed berries and orange. Guests can expect creatively prepared low-alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as functional smoothies.

Certified nutritionist Sandra Lim explains: “In collaboration with Hyatt, we combine culinary art with nutritional science to make mindful eating not only accessible but also truly enjoyable. Our nutritionists, chefs, bartenders, and wellness consultants work hand in hand to create dishes that are both delicious and healthy. Mindful eating isn't about limiting yourself to salads and bowls—it's about enjoying your favorite dishes, knowing they've been carefully prepared with well-being and sustainability in mind.”

For example, the Hyatt Regency Koh Samui and the Hyatt Regency Hua Hin source vegetables, herbs, cheese, and seafood directly from local communities, while the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort has its own herb garden. Furthermore, the majority of the chicken, pork, and beef used in the hotels comes from humane, organic, pasture-raised farms throughout Thailand, ensuring quality and sustainability.

Actress Jarinya “Kaew” Sirimongkolsakul, a passionate advocate for locally grown fruits and vegetables, explains: “I have always enjoyed good food. As I have gotten older, my lifestyle has changed. Health and balance in life have become more important to me. Eating healthier has improved my well-being and given me a refreshing and pleasant feeling. Thanks to the growing availability of organic products, such as Hyatt’s locally sourced produce campaign, which aligns with current health trends, we now have more options to enjoy fresh, delicious, and nutritious meals.”

Two-time Olympic Taekwondo champion Panipak “Tennis” Wongpattanakit adds: “A balanced diet and conscious food choices are essential for my mental and physical health. Mindful eating helps me to fully concentrate on the competition, but I am a foodie at heart, and it is not always easy to find the balance between healthy eating and the desire for comfort food. Hyatt’s offering takes the hassle out of finding healthy yet delicious meals myself and fits perfectly with my wellness goals.”

Mindful Indulgence's food and beverage offerings are now available in restaurants, bars and lounges at eight Hyatt hotels in Thailand – Park Hyatt Bangkok, Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, Hyatt Place Bangkok Sukhumvit, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, Hyatt Regency Koh Samui and Hyatt Regency Hua Hin.
