Movenpick - High tea experience

For LKR 4100/ - NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL

- A busy 24th December indeed

- Courteous staff

- They had a band playing popular English Christmas songs and Sinhala songs

- whiskey and cigar room had a better ambiance than of the other table settings

From what it use to be I think movenpick has lost its ambience, but the rooftop used to be good, will check it out another day.

So HIGH TEA’s on a holiday event, I would want it to emphasis least on the beverages, like a live action station with variations on tea and coffee, so people may have festive teas like Cinnamon tea.

ginger tea

Chai Yaara

Special coffee,

Eggnog (without alcohol) or for purchase

There were mango cordials and strong coffee & tea in packets instead.

Only the ice coffee was of the highest caliber.

What an uproar

SAVORY FINGER FOOD

There was only one tasty pizza: seafood.

I need the chicken lollipops in addition to everything else to make up for the excess dough and the lack of filling.

Cold and dry were the pastries!

COLD FINGER FOOD

Cold sandwiches were preferable,

3.5🌟for the salmon sandwich being the best.

SWEETS

The below items tasted decent, compared to the rest of the spread.

- Fruit tart

- Christmas cake

- Minced pie

And the chocolate cake (but my friend thought otherwise about the cake)

FUN FACT 👩‍💻

Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o'clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner .

5🤩 Crystal Prawn Dumpling LKR1500 MUST TRY 🤤 Simple but i loved it! Glistening in a pearl-like sheet, these dumplings are a visual feast. Delicately wrapped, each bite reveals a succulent prawn, offering a taste as light as the ocean breeze. 5🌟 Chicken Scallops and Chives Dumpling LKR1500 Shaped like an ear, with a slight roast enhancing the hidden, lightly flavored meatball. A vibrant presentation adds to the overall experience. 🤩 Sweet and Sour Garupa LKR7000 MUST TRY The star of the table, initially intimidating with its head and eyes. Despite the initial scare, guests devoured it like a salad. Fried in a light batter with a golden syrup bath, the fish body surprises with a bone-free, crunchy delight. The hint of pineapple, sweet corn, and the crunch of bell pepper leave you yearning for more. 🤩 XO Fried Rice with Scallops and Prawns LKR2900 MUST TRY A loaded delight with prawns and egg, making additional side dishes nearly obsolete. 5 ⭐️ Sichuan Fried Chicken LKR6400 MU

Brightly lit and featuring a play area for kids with various toys and activities, this space aims to evoke nostalgia with its old Sinhala songs reminiscent of an old Kade. Staff Are nice and welcoming 3.5 ⭐️ Salmon Cheese Sandwich (700/-) A basic sandwich served hot, with the perfect amount of spice. Although the cheese was hardly noticeable, I'll definitely order this again. 4.5 ⭐️ Latte (650/-) A perfectly crafted, regular latte without sugar. It’s just right. 4 ⭐️ Coconut Latte (750/-) I initially thought this would be made with coconut milk, but it’s a regular latte topped with desiccated coconut flakes. Slightly sweeter than the regular latte, it's pleasant but not something I’d order again. 3⭐️Club Sandwich – 1000/- The fries accompanying the sandwich had an unpleasant aftertaste, suggesting that the oil used for frying was subpar. The sandwich itself fell short of a true club sandwich. While it featured multiple layers, the meat—possibly chicken or tuna flakes—was

Like a little bee hive —————————————- > Lively ambience > Good staff but... check out the RFI > Very extensive menu 📝 RFI > Before my meal was over the lady cleared the food, I didn’t notice it as I was in a conversation. It would have been nice of her to check and the clear the table, the place did have plenty of seating capacity.

The vibrant blend tantalized my taste buds and left me wanting more. 5 ⭐️ Fill me up salad LKR 1500 🥜 A true symphony of flavors, the Fill Me Up Salad left a lasting impression.
