t-Lounge by Dilmah’s Dessert Bar
Located at: 100 Horton Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 17th February & 05th March, 2023 If there’s one thing that the new t-Lounge by Dilmah on Horton Place intends to do, it is to spoil you with their array of decadent – and extremely eye-catching – desserts.

Minori
Located at: Granbell Hotel Colombo, 282/5 Kollupitiya Road, Marine Drive, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 19th October, 2022 Granbell is a relatively new Japanese-managed hotel in the heart of Colombo.

Located at: Sunway Pyramid Mall, Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia Visited on: 03rd October, 2022 Although Chizu is best known for its cheese tea, what we tried (and loved) was their cheesecake.

Located at: Pamunugama Road, Thalahena, Negombo, Sri Lanka Visited on: 07 January, 2022 An impromptu decision to have a bit of crab led us to the beautiful Jetwing Lagoon hotel on the first Friday afternoon of the year.

Mochi from t-Lounge by Dilmah
Direct delivery via : @teatimerocks / 0777720594 Tried on : 01 Sep, 2021 Mochi is back with a bang at t-Lounge by Dilmah, and this time they’ve got six varieties of the increasingly popular hand-made Japanese glutinous rice cakes.

Instagram: @petitfour.cmb (pre-order for delivery or takeaway from Union Place) Tried on: 12th February, 2021 Petit Four’s éclairs have been teasing my tastebuds via my Instagram feed for a while now.
