🙋‍♀️ MY POV disclaimer I love spice! 



 

5⭐️Prawn soup chili & cilantro LKR 1350

The creamy seafood broth of this prawn soup is simply divine. Its taste reminded me more of salty Padang than cilantro.


4⭐️ lime juice LKR 750


cold and keeps the zest of the lime just right with just the balance of sweetness 


4.5⭐️Pumpkin soup  LKR 1050


The pumpkin soup was as expected creamy and mild, paired well with the garlic bread.



 


5 🤩Mixed seafood kothu LKR 1700 🌶🥵

This is a bomb, this dish is a burst of chili and encompasses all the spices we use in our curries, resulting in a dark maroon appearance for the kothu. Be prepared with ice/ sweet drink or two for the faint hearted 



3.5 Lebanese chicken kebab LKR 2000


The Lebanese chicken kebab was filling, but personally, I found it a bit bland and more with ketchup (buy may be that's how its made in Lebanon!)  compared to the kothu. However, it served as a satisfying and healthy meal, accompanied by a thin tortilla or roti.



 



👩‍💻 FUN FACT 


What are the characteristics of Lebanese cuisine?



Lebanese cuisine combines Turkish, Arab and French cooking styles. Characteristics include the use of lamb (introduced by the Ottomans), the abundant use of nuts (especially almonds and pine nuts), and dressings made from lemon juice.

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 ⭐️ Sichuan Fried Chicken LKR6400  MU

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 chicken or tuna flakes—was
