Cinnamon lake side

We have been experiencing Cinnamon group of hotels and their food for quite some time. decided to follow up on the their menu as well :D

4/5* NIGHT OWL BUFFET - LKR 2825.07

This midnight buffet had most Srilankan food, the spread was quite minimal. Its midnight buffet, so keep the expectations low.

what they served - string hoppers, kiribath (milk rice) and mini roast paan were the mains

Curries - Egg curry was fab!

Fish curry - chunk of boneless fish similar to the egg curry

Dhal was all right

Chicken curry - good, considered to be spicy but as a srilankan it was not.

variety of local condiments - pol sambol (spicy and perfect) pol mallum, good, lunumiris, seenisambol

Dessert - basic flavored Ice cream (strawberry and chocolate)

Mini Kimbula banis ( mini crocodile buns) fresh and crunchy (try this with a dash of the blueberry compote / or strawberry ice cream)

fresh fruits

vanilla clustered and blueberry compote was my fav! (as it was less sweet and the texture was amazing)

Tip - add the blueberry compote to the strawberry ice cream and trust my taste!

Will I try this meal again? Yes, since its all you can eat.

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...

Kaikos - No tax

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 ...

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...
