Serenediva lounge - Srilankan airlines


After the COVID, this was my first opportunity to go abroad, and it was to Chennai. Although I was a little disappointed, given the economic crisis that Sri Lanka was through, I was grateful for the opportunity to travel.


As a business class traveler, we had access to the Serenediva lounge, but it was unclear which lounge we should have used because there were two with the same name. (Clearly, we were meant to go to the Sri Lankan Airlines lounge; One World was using the other)












When compared to the imposing doors of the One World Room, the little lounge didn't appear very inviting when we entered. A stewardess welcomed us and requested us to make ourselves comfortable after checking our boarding passes.

There was no one at the bar or to seek assistance from aside from the waitress at the entryway. Essentially, all we had to do was go exploring on our own, which is precisely what we did.



There were salads and cheese, breads, cakes, sweets, drinks, tea, and of course our favorite rice and  curry when we took a closer look at the food. 

Our flight was 45 minutes late. We had about two hours to kill, so I started with the salad, doing my best to stay away from the carbohydrates and making a feeble effort to sample everything


I had a rather full plate as you could have guessed. and everything smelled nice. The soup, grilled veggies, prunes, walnuts, tuna salad, and olives  were my favorites; the cracker wasn't the greatest.




My companion ordered the standard yellow rice dish with tempered potatoes, cutlets, pineapple, and papad. Even though the cutlet wasn't served hot, it was still excellent. The Moju was out of this world.




I tried to offer anything else that my partner didn't serve after my salad. Since it was the holiday season, I decided to try the lamb even though I don't usually like it. I wasn't disappointed. My favorite dish was the spaghetti, which I usually avoid since I prefer spicy food. However, tonight it tasted really nice with the lamb and the breadcrumb-fried fish.



It was quite difficult to complete the lunch at this point. However, I had to sample the sweets, which were few. I didn't eat the cakes since they didn't appear appetizing, but the caramel and yogurt pudding were delicious.

When we finally saw the bartender, we ordered a drink. despite not being a lover of champagne, this bubbly was fantastic. I've been taught that brut is a type of dry wine. It was simply ideal.



They also offered Christmas breads on a different table, but I was too stuffed to eat them. I was not even tempted to take a taste this time.

On a final note the food was definitely not disappointing for me, do leave a comment. 
what was your experience on the lounge service at Serenediva?

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...
