Although the rate of development in Linden has slowed, there are people who are still investing in the community.
Two weeks ago a young business man, Utah Morris, of One Mile, Wismar, opened the doors of his restaurant, Bamboo Cove, at the Egbert Benjamin Conference Centre.
According to Morris his passion for cooking started when he was nine years old living with his Grandmother. After he migrated to the United States, his mother would give him directions over the phone to cook certain stews; those conversations helped. After leaving High School he did a course in culinary arts.
Morris said he decided to open a restaurant which will not only prepare a healthy and balanced diet but at a reasonable cost. “I know there are other restaurants but people have to pay an arm and a leg to enjoy such dining. My aim is to allow people to enjoy the same fine dining at a reasonable low cost.”
He added that the decor of the bamboo shoots coincides with the name of the restaurant. They give it a kind of romantic atmosphere. He claimed that one thing people must understand is that, Egbert Benjamin is not only a venue for conferences, weddings, and birthday parties. They must realise that the restaurant can do the catering and the decorating for any event.
He opens from 07:00hrs to 22:00 hrs Mondays to Fridays.
