Hotel casamara - Kandy

 

 It was around 9.30pm which is quite late for Kandy people to go out for dinner & coinciding with the observance of Poson Poya Day gave us a limited choice. 

When we arrived at the hotel,the atmosphere was calm, with only one other table occupied by diners engaged in quite conversation. We had heard about a delightful rooftop area but were informed that it was closed as the bar wasn't operational. As we settled in, a sudden encounter with a scurrying cockroach prompted us to swiftly relocate to another table. Eventually, after a wait of approximately 20 minutes, our food arrived.

 

5⭐️Mulligatawny soup in Tamil LKR1000/- (Pepper soup) 

Unexpected Creaminess Meets Pepper's Fiery Zest which was nice 

4⭐️Sri Lanka omelet LKR 1000

A Traditional Delight Packed with Onions and Green Chilies, Paired With basic fries.

 

4⭐️Seafood platter LKR 3500

The grilled seafood was cooked to perfection, showcasing the natural flavors of the ocean. The side of fries provided a comforting accompaniment, while the light butter sauce added a subtle touch of richness to enhance the overall taste. It was a pleasant and enjoyable seafood platter without unnecessary hype or exaggeration.

3.5✨Pot of hot chocolate LKR 750 ( I cant give a bad rating as its still chocolate) 

The hot chocolate experience fell short of expectations in several aspects. (maybe because it was 11pm! and they wanted us to leave and were too polite) 

Firstly, the staff poured the chocolate themselves instead of allowing customers to pour it, which took away the interactive and cozy element that was anticipated. The hot chocolate itself had a thin and watery consistency, lacking the rich and creamy texture that is typically desired. Additionally, it was served at a warm temperature rather than the hot temperature expected for a comforting hot chocolate. Overall, the hot chocolate failed to deliver on its promises, leaving a disappointing impression.


FUN FACT

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...
