5⭐️Three Fluffy Pancakes: LKR 2250

The presentation of the three fluffy pancakes was visually enticing, although upon arrival, they appeared smaller than anticipated, especially considering our hearty appetites that day. Nevertheless, they looked appetizing, topped with a generous drizzle of kithul honey and honeycombed butter adorned with cinnamon sticks, creating a tantalizing melted lightly sweetened taste .

5⭐️Ultimate Burger Bee: LKR 2950

Served with hand-cut potatoes and a side of ketchup, the Ultimate Burger Bee offered a satisfying sight compared to the pancakes. Let's delve into the layers:

Starting from the bottom up, the absence of sesame seeds on the burger bun raised a question mark regarding its authenticity as a burger. However, the dish proudly embraced its handcrafted essence over mainstream standards. The hand crated grilled bun provided a sturdy base, adorned with a spread of caramelized onion. Next, a hefty hand-chopped beef patty, topped with melted aged cheddar and a few fresh rocket leaves, replaced the usual iceberg lettuce, adding a welcome twist. Atop the crown of the burger bun sat a perfectly fried bull's egg, half-opened to reveal its picturesque yolk. Additionally, a thick spread, possibly hummus, adorned the top burger bun, adding a non-spicy yet flavorful element to the ensemble. Overall, despite the unconventional toppings, this well-flavored burger is definitely worth a try.

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.

Manjal

OVERALL MANJAL IS A MUST TRY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE Despite the fact that I am of Indian descent, as a child i did not particularly enjoy India or Chennai for that matter, because of how dirty and dusty the roads were and how many residents resemble the villains from Tamil film. Now i have matured far from that mind set :) TOTAL BILL FOR 4 ADULTS - INR 2895.00 The MANJAL genuine south Indian restaurant is located in Poes Garden, which seemed to be the only street with trees and had a pleasant atmosphere. I initially saw that all the food items were being presented to a local god as soon as we arrived after being cordially greeted. The menu was brought out as we seated, then a man entered with the food trays that I had seen on display and read out the titles so we could select, and ask questions about the food. ( i must admit he was quite fast so do pay attention) Rasam was excellent and mild—very unlike Tamil Nadu or Sri Lankan cuisine. I believe I was hoping for a heavier...
