"My Weekend Love Affair at Kittitian Hill"

Журнал Travel+Leisure включил отель Belle Mont Farm (Kittitian Hill) в свой рейтинг - Henley & Partners | Henley & Partners


If there is one thing that makes me light up like a child in a candy store, it is the love for food. I am a self proclaimed, full on foodie, and I proudly wear that title. Living in St. Kitts, I am lucky to be surrounded by amazing food options that blend Caribbean zest with international flavours. It is almost like the island is teasing me with new culinary adventures every week. Given the opportunity to explore different flavours, textures, and dishes brings me so much joy. It is more than just eating but an immersive experience. On the weekends, I dedicate my time to explore the best culinary spots around town, sampling dishes that catch my eye and delight my palate. From local favourites to hidden ones, the experience is always a new adventure, but I never miss a stop at Kittitian Hill, where the food and atmosphere make every bite feel like a celebration.

Kittitian Hill is filled with history, especially when making connections with the Sugar Industry in St. Kitts, which once made the island one of the top exporters in the Caribbean. The natural sensory, the sweeping views, the cool mountain air, and that sense of being tucked away from the rest of the world can stimulate minds for both local and visitors, making them feel at ease.  The beauty alone sets the tone for what is about to be an extraordinary dining experience. Any visitor can really feel that legacy in the main restaurant, which is designed across two levels with five unique spaces that each have their own story to tell. On the Upper Level, is ‘The Mill Bar,’ which brings back memories of the island’s sugar heritage. Meanwhile, ‘The Mountain Terrace’ and ‘The Lounge’ offer cozy spots for guests to kick back and relax. Additonally, the lower level or the outdoor terrace, affectionately called ‘The Lookout,’is packed with some amazing views that make dining there even more special. Nestled in the lush, rolling hills of St. Kitts, the location itself is like something out of a magazine. 

Whenever I visit Kittitian Hill, the menu always leaves me spoiled. The chefs there have a knack for honouring traditional Kittitian recipes while adding their own creative twist, which is why it is called “Belle Mont’s Farm-to-Table Experience.” Every dish reflects a deep connection to the island’s rich culinary heritage, with fresh ingredients sourced directly from local farmers and the farm itself. Buffet breakfast is served from 7:00 am to 10:30 am, and it never disappoints. Whether it is freshly baked pastries, tropical fruits, or savory options like local stew saltfish and plantains, there is something for every taste. No matter how many times I have visited, I always leave breakfast feeling completely satisfied and energized for the day ahead. However, dinner at The Kitchen, which runs from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm, is no exception. The ambiance, with its warm lighting and scenic views, sets the perfect mood for a memorable evening. One dish that stands out most is the seafood pasta, made up of a combination of fresh, tender shrimp, losbster and mussels tossed in a rich, flavourful sauce that feels like a celebration of the island’s coastal offerings. This dish has quickly become my go to favorite, and no dining experience to Kittitian Hill feels complete without indulging in it. Whether it is breakfast or dinner, the experience at Kittitian Hill is always a culinary adventure that keeps me coming back for more.

My love for food is not just about satisfying hunger but to discover new tastes, connecting with different cultures, and sharing those experiences with friends and family. Every bite adds a new chapter to my foodie story. So, if you see me out and about on the weekends, probably with a menu in hand and an excited look on my face, just know I am doing what I do best, eating my way through life, one delicious bite at a time.

Active Voice vs. Passive Voice

The way sentences are constructed has a significant impact on how readers interpret and engage with writing. Two key sentence structures are active voice and passive voice. Both are tools that writers use to shape their message and tone. Understanding the differences between these two can help writers make deliberate choices to convey their ideas effectively. What is Active Voice? Active voice occurs when the subject of a sentence performs the action described by the verb. This structure follows a straightforward pattern:  Subject → Verb → Object.  Sentences in the active voice are direct, clear, and engaging, making them a preferred choice in most forms of writing. Example: The dog chased the ball. Here, the dog (subject) performs the action of chasing the ball (object). Active voice is concise and dynamic, emphasizing the doer of the action. It lends a sense of immediacy and energy to the text, which is why it is commonly used in storytelling, persuasive writing, and in...

How Writing Became My Sanctuary

Image
A Journey with Words As a child, writing felt like magic. I remember sitting on the steps of my home with a notebook in hand, pouring my thoughts onto the page. The world around me became a canvas, and my pen was the brush painting vivid stories, poems, and letters. I would write about everything, from the the rustling leaves outside my window, the laughter of my family and friends, and even the stray cat that visited our backyard. Each word felt like a piece of me, capturing moments I never wanted to forget. Even now, as an adult, writing holds the same wonder. There is something about sitting under a tree or by the ocean, surrounded by the sounds of nature, that stirs my creativity. The gentle breeze, the chirping of birds, and the scent of fresh air become my muses. Writing outdoors feels like a dance with the earth, as if my words are in tune with its rhythms. Some of my favourite pieces were born during these quiet moments in nature. I would sit for hours, letting my thoughts flow...
