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 ⭐️ Sich...

Central all day dining- Shangrila buffet

New year dinner for 4 pax without taxes - 50,000/- (12,500 per person) It was undoubtedly a crowded evening at the Central Cafe in Shangila. We had booked appointments to eat there during the celebrations for the new year. As in usual days they have a variety of menu, but they yet again made it extravagant. There were several meat carvings, including hog, turkey, and fish, along with a wide selection of sauces, veggies, pickles, and condiments and not mention the ice carvings that one can admire inclusive a cheese fountain. In 1971, Malaysian entrepreneur Robert Kuok introduced the Shangri-La chain of hotels. The first Shangri-La hotel debuted in Singapore in 1971, and since then the company has grown to include hotels all over the world under its renowned luxury hotel brand. Consequently, you will find some foreign chefs and management maintaining the international standards and it also adds a Singaporean and Hong Kong touch in their menu. Even tho...
