Jul 5 2022

Asahi, the locally rescued turtle, was released at Ramla Bay Gozo on the 4th of July after having being rescued in September of last year.

Rescued 4km north west of Malta, it was found by a crew of a big yacht who then brought in Asahi. The turtle was unfortunately badly entangled in marine debris and in quite a poor state.

Former foreign minister voices Valletta resident noise concerns

Jul 5 2022

A day after parliament debated a PN motion to repeal new rules which would allow late-night open-air music in various streets in the capital city, former minister Evarist Bartolo voiced his, and the voice of a resident, against the rulings.

Taking to social media, the former foreign minister revealed that he met a woman from a traditionally Labour family who expressed the sense of ‘zero respect’ for residents of the city.

Bartolo wrote that many people were feeling betrayed by those they chose to lead and defend them. He compared Malta with islands such as Ibiza (a party island) which still has silent towns and areas for citizens.

‘Those who want entertainment zones can look elsewhere’ he said, saying that others even look to Valletta for architecture, art and its overall atmosphere.

‘Has Valletta and all of its liveliness become better, even with so many restaurants and tables set up outside in the open? Is there need for this exaggeration? Is it wise to transform Malta into Paceville from one end to another?’

‘For many residents, the argument that there will be law enforcement to regulate the music was not convincing. We are not exactly a model country when it comes to enforcement’ he concluded.

This restaurant is changing the game whilst serving delicious food

This restaurant is saving the world whilst serving delicious food

Jul 5 2022

Hammett’s is a beloved brand in gastronomy which the people of Malta and beyond have become familiar with for stupendous dining experiences; but their latest restaurant Hammett’s Monastik is changing the game for more reasons than one.

Hammett’s Monastik makes use of locally sourced ingredients and seasonable produce – with meat purchased from local farmers and bought whole.

Hammett’s Collections’ latest shared dining experience, Hammett’s Monastik has finally opened its doors on the Tigne Seafront in Sliema. With a menu inspired by continental European cuisine and using only locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques of preservation, this new restaurant is as delicious as it is sustainable.

The name ‘Monastik’ derives from the techniques used by self-sufficient monasteries who live off local land. The use of only local produce is a testament to the restaurant’s tight-knit community of local farmers who use sustainable organic practices and pesticide-free crops; offering mouth-watering dishes while preserving our land for future generations.

To top it all off, Monastik is collaborating with a local farmer to revive the flour production and harvesting industry, together with a number of others in Malta, to utilise in its own dishes.

Even the cocktails at Hammett’s Monastik are sourced from sustainable suppliers, so the mixologists can offer a cocktail list with many “100% organic” markings.

Our tip is this; do not approach Hammett’s Monastik as your everyday restaurant, but as an experience which consciously tingles the senses while courting your palette with game-changing dishes. Even the wines and cocktails are created with ingredients sourced from sustainable suppliers, so you’ll be satisfying your tastebuds while feeding your soul.

Hammett’s Monastik is open for breakfast, happy hour and dinner and encourages multiple dishes to share per table to satisfy its shared meal format, so if your squad is a group of foodies, let them know and head to Hammett’s latest venture ASAP.
