TOTAL BILL VALUE: LKR 21,846/- (2adults with 2 fussy kids)
Disclaimer: This is my fourth time trying the Christmas menu, and although I prefer spicy food, I don't find the menu to be very pleasurable because the items I eat tend to be sugary or undercooked.
4🌟DRY MARTINI LKR 1265/-
This was strong, but since I feel there is less calories, ill reorder again
Classic and strong
2🌟WHITE CHRISTMAS MARTINI LKR 1300/-
It was a cute presentation! I should have known better than to place a marshmallow order! It was far too sweet. But I believe most holiday beverages are usually overly sugary. (I would suggest this as a dessert beverage) yes its just a festive drink id rather pass
4🌟Strawberry Daiquiris LKR1650/-
The texture of this drink was thick and creamy, mildly sweet which was perfect the slight burn of the alcohol, but my teen kids said it tasted like medicine. I would have loved it better if it came a frozen drink.
3🌟 MUSHROOM & TRUFFLE CAPPUCCINO LKR1100/-
Creamy and the bread stick that accompanied it was quite hard
4🌟Goulash LKR1210 , At the first taste it was like a thick stew / gravy (more of curry taste minus the coconut cream) with good number of mixed spices, after some time I actually enjoyed the taste and the texture of the soup which had bits of vegetables and beef and had a wonderful aroma. BUT I did not see that Dollop of sour cream which was a disappointment
Although the soup was tasty, there were some lumps of flour, which I believe to have been the soup's base thickener. Since the truffles were finely diced, I would say the soup had a very subtle flavor. Given that it was a fairly hard breadstick, the grissini or bread stick may not have been the finest addition to the soup.
3🌟OVEN ROASTED TURKEY ROULADE with classic gravy, stuffing and roasted vegetables LKR 3500/-
I am aware that the meat's flavor is primarily imparted through the skin. I preferred crispy skin over the chewy, fatty skin I received. Instead of the gravy that was advertised on the menu, I only received the cranberry sauce, which I don't particularly enjoy with meat. notwithstanding the tradition.
I wont go for this again as the points follows
1. It was sweet (yes its a Christmas menu! i should have known better)
2. the turkey skin was still kind of semi cooked, and chewy ( I would have liked a crispy skin, without those cartilage parts)
4🌟CHICKEN CORDON BLEU WITH CHICKEN HAM LKR 3620/-
My sons only favorite, yes its filled with cheese and deep fried chicken.
Traditional ham and cheese-stuffed crumbed chicken. My children adore it! Although I adore their salad, they typically don't eat it.
You can specify how well the meat should be cooked, but in my opinion, medium-rare is the finest choice. The beef hearty and the pepper sauce
Both my Hubby and daughter only goes for this.
2🌟TRADITIONAL APPLE STRUDEL WITH VANILLA CREAM LKR 1250/-
The strudel is either you love the taste or you hate the taste. The apple tartness was as expected, the quantity of vanilla cream disappointed.
It would have been great if they had provided more of the vanilla cream, it or the option of vanilla ice cream!
FUN FACT
Why is it called apple strudel?
No wonder strudel derives from the Middle High German word meaning 'whirlpool'. With many different varieties, both savoury and sweet, arguably the most well-known is that of the Apple variety – Apfelstrudel.
