Curated by Cluster Director of Culinary, Silvano Amolini and Chef de Cuisine Khun Eak, the Sown & Reborn experience begins with an optional pre-dinner guided tour of the resort’s 27-acre garden, where one of the resort’s chefs will explain the sustainable produce used in their meal.

There will be an introduction by Executive Chef Silvano, where he will dive into how he repurposes food leftovers, such as potato skins, discarded coconuts, and watermelon husks. 

The first course of the six-course tasting menu is the JW Garden Duck Egg crispy poached duck egg paired with repurposed potato espuma and fresh morning glory, followed by the savory Umami Power and Prawns, a vegetable-powered broth similar to tom yum soup.

Guests will be treated to flavors that are as surprising as they are delicious. The third course shows off JW Garden’s seasonal bounty in JW Garden Chicken Egg with smoked eggshells tagliatelle and vegan Bolognese, featuring smoked egg shell tagliatelle made from recycled bread crusts. 

The fourth course marries the snapper and grouper, sourced from a natural farm in Rawai, South Phuket, which handles the fish with chemical-free practices and an all-insect diet.
