Located at: 375 R. A. de Mel Mawatha, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Feb, 2018 I was somewhat intrigued by the name of this place. ‘Plunkett’ and ‘Posh’ are not quite the sort of name and adjective one would associate with ‘Kottu’. So, I decided to give it a shot. It was a take-away…

Sushi Bar Samurai – Negombo
Located at: Porutota Road, Negombo, Sri Lanka Visited on: 11 Feb, 2018 Negombo’s restaurant is the older of the two Sushi Bar Samurai restaurants operating in the country. Located on the very touristy Porutota Road, the glass panels lining the restaurant give it an on-the-street feel while still maintaining a niche-like ambiance. Although it does have…

Wijaya Beach
Located at: Dalawella, Unawatuna, Sri Lanka Visited on: 27 Jan, 2018 Island vibes is what this place is about. A narrow strip of beach for a backyard, staff mostly in shorts, skinnies and flip-flops, patrons lounging around in their swimwear, colourful pennants hung around, and reggae remixes of popular tracks playing in the background (the…
Special Edition: Rupert Rowley’s Afternoon Tea
Located at: Lounge & Bar (LAB) @ Hilton Colombo, 2 Sir Chittampalam A Gardiner Mawatha, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 24 Jan, 2018 This is actually more of a “Late” Edition than a Special Edition, for it is from about a month ago. However, in hindsight, I felt like it is noteworthy of mention…
Ten Buffets in Colombo
Colombo, Sri Lanka Who doesn’t like a good buffet? My family, for one, enjoys spending a couple of hours at a good buffet every once in a while– special occasion or otherwise. Of course, given my small appetite, I always get told that I’m the sort of patron that buffets thrive on to make…
Sugar Bistro @ The Promenade
Located at: The Promenade, Odel, 5 Alexandra Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 10 Jan, 2018 The idea was to go to Sugar Bistro at Crescat Boulevard. However, since it was already lunch time and we didn’t want to crawl (and battle) through the school traffic from Odel to Galle – as short a…
Flamingo House
Located at: 58A Horton Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 27 Dec, 2017 One thing that’s bound to catch your eye as you walk into Flamingo House is the interior of the place. Previously a more modest extension to Gerard Mendis Chocolatier, the restaurant part has changed hands over the years with the chocolatier/patisserie still…
Zen @ Zylan Boutique Hotel
Located at: 115 Rosmead Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 16 Dec, 2017 Let me begin by saying that Zylan Boutique Hotel, at which Zen is located, is beautiful. Elegant, romantic and serenely decorated. Being the Christmas season, it had been adorned further with some tasteful décor. It was on the verge of less-is-more,…

Located at: 14 Phillip Gunawardena Mawatha (Reid Avenue), Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 11 Nov, 2017 We had no idea that the little café at Lakpahana did lumprais until a friend mentioned so and recommended that we try it out. And so we did. However – just in case you start making plans for a…
