www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday November 3, 2006 - 29 Cilantro, a Malaysian Boutique Restaurant serving Malaysian & local favourites Cilantro of Downtown Oakville recently assumed its rightful identity as a Malaysian Boutique Restaurant. "We feel it is now the right time for this, after almost a year and a half of explaining our cuisine as `East meets West', full of flavour with the correct blend of eastern & western spices and ingredients and light & delectable. The basis of Cilantro's cuisine is so significantly Malaysian." During that period, Cilantro received very interesting reactions from many customers. "Everyone seemed intrigued by the theme of `East meets West' to describe Cilantro's cuisine." " We are thankful to all those who gave us the opportunity to try our cuisine. I know that 99 per cent of them were pleasantly surprised with the dining experience at Cilantro." Cilantro has lined up some very exciting and meaningful projects starting this month. Their `Love & Live Freely' program is designed to help raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, Oakville Unit over the next few months until March 2007. "Since migrating here in December 2004, both Ricky and I have only participated in worthwhile causes on a personal level. We think it is time to take on a bigger responsibility and the only way we can do that is through Cilantro." "We will allocate 15 per cent of all food proceeds on designated days from both our dine-in and Go Gourmet Corner. We are also pledging 10 per cent of all food proceeds derived from all events held at Cilantro." Cilantro is planning another `Love & Live Freely' program, "we are trying to work with a relevant party to invite 30 less fortunate Canadians to Cilantro for a good & meaningful preChristmas dinner." Emelee is thrilled to launch their very own Cilantro's Retail Corner this November in what she terms as a downstream activity. This decision is a response to the numerous requests from customers who really liked Cilantro's salad dressings, dipping sauces and other authentic products. With their fundraising campaign in mind, 10 per cent of all proceeds from this Retail Corner will be set aside. Another new project for this year is their `Special Packaged Gourmet Meal Plan' designed to thank all the downtown workers who have supported Cilantro's participation in the `Work Downtown, Eat Downtown' program organized by Downtown BIA. On Nov 15, Cilantro will offer this Special Package of 20 GourmetTo-Go lunch meals for only $98 valid for 2 months from date of purchase. "Cilantro has certainly given me many challenging, rewarding & meaningful experiences. I know there will always be challenges ahead but I am truly looking forward to the days ahead and my continual aspirations & goals both for Cilantro & myself.
