Located at: 8 Flower Road, Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 26 Mar, 2018 There has been quite a buzz about this place since it opened a branch on the island recently. I’ve been seeing eye-catching and appetising pictures on social media, and so was excited to pop in for lunch while passing…
Schákàsz Dessert Bar
Located at: 56 Stratford Avenue, Colombo 06, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Mar, 2018 This place should have been named ‘The Devil in Disguise’. For no matter how strong your will might be, Schákàsz will inevitably and most definitely tempt you into some form of indulgence. I was first introduced to the unconventional name when a…
Caramel Pumpkin (Part 01)
Located at: 38 Ward Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Mar, 2018 The quirky name of this place was the first thing to catch my eye. And a look-up online revealed an equally quirky-looking menu. We dropped in at lunch time on a relentlessly hot day, and although I do regard that the extensive…

Cilantro
Located at: 70 Porutota Road, Negombo, Sri Lanka Visited on: 04 Mar, 2018 This is where a spontaneous decision to dine in Negombo took us. Apart from having the name of one of my favourite cooking ingredients, the place looked different to most other restaurants on the bustling touristy street. Spacious, airy, well-lit and neat….
Plunkett Posh Kottu
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…

It was a two-hour private event where attendees could taste…
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…
