4⭐️BLUE MOON (2530/-) was more of purple 🤓

This vibrant smoothie blends blueberry, banana, and bee honey with yogurt. Rich in antioxidants, it's the perfect creamy and chilled recovery drink. Detoxifying and delicious!

5🤩 GAMBAS POT 6450/- MUST TRY

Six enormous grilled king prawns are served with fresh chilies, garlic butter, and a rich lemon coconut sauce that is flavorful without being spicy. Adding a side of carbs would have elevated this dish, so we requested some steamed rice. Despite my preference for spicy food, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The dish also comes with a side of freshly cut salad featuring sweet capsicum, sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and zucchini, all drenched in lemon butter. However, the amount of oil used was excessive.

📝 Do consider reducing the oil.

4⭐️SEAFOOD MARINARA (5100/-)

You can choose fettuccine instead of penne pasta, which is tossed with mussels, calamari, shrimp, and white fish in a spicy marinara sauce. However, the dish was overly oily and not spicy enough for a Sri Lankan palate. The mussels were large but overcooked, making them tough and chewy, suggesting they weren't fresh. The prawns had a raw smell and a sweet taste that was off-putting. The pasta was served with toasted garlic bread, which seemed to have a hint of balsamic vinegar. While the dish had potential, the excessive oil means I wouldn't order it again.

4⭐️COCO CADO (1975/-)

This drink combines coconut water with honey, cocoa, oat milk, and creamy avocado. The color is less vibrant than expected, lacking the bright green hue.

Taste-wise, it was excellent. Chilled to perfection, it offered a subtle cocoa flavor, dominated by the creamy taste of avocado with the aftertaste of coconut water

👩‍💻FUN FACT

Gambas al Ajillo has its roots in the southern regions of Spain, where seafood is a central part of the diet. With the country's extensive coastline, fresh shrimp are abundant, making this dish a natural evolution of local tastes and ingredients.

5🤩Prawn taco LKR 2995/- (MUST TRY)

The dish offered a choice of grilled or batter-fried large shrimp, served on soft flour tortillas with fresh avocado, spicy slaw, and homemade mango salsa. It turned out to be a sweet fiasco for my taste buds—in the best way possible! Definitely a reorder for me.

These aren’t your typical chicken wings! The tangy lemon sweetness hits just the right notes, making them so good you’ll want to share them rather than keep them all to yourself.

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
