ColomBar - cinnamon lakeside

COLOMBAR  2 pax bill  Tax 2086 Service charge LKR 995 Total bill 13,030 ( I was happy paying for the food but not for the tax)  Not all the cocktails were available which was a bummer, these were our second options  Vibe of the place is chill, music is a mix a of Sinhala and English.  weekends you can expect more Sinhala songs than English      4 ⭐️  Yaal paanam - LKR 900  Served in a charming tea pot and accompanied by a shot glass. The drink's consistency resembles liquids gold, that of a cordial, and its taste is a resemblance of a local snack called achaaru. (hope you have had the snack before to compare)   Indulge in the tantalizing combination of mango, tamarind, sweet jaggery, and the distinctive flavor of north Palmyra arrack. 🤩 Daiquiri    lemon - LKR 1200 MUST TRY Quench your thirst with the invigorating Daiquiri Lemon cocktail.

Cinnamon lake side - sandwich bar at goodies

Step 1 - select the bread  Step 2 - Select the spread  Step 3 - select the veggies                                    Step 4 - they will assemble the sandwich for you                                                             This sandwich below is filled  5🌟bright tandoori paneer, LKR 800  which tasted so good, it had the taste of cheese that had absorbed all that spice and tandoori, for the bread I chose a onion focaccia bread, and of course the salad on the side, this time it was a boy who served me, so I guess he thought I don't need the grilled veggies 🙁   FUN FACT  What is the difference between focaccia and regular bread? Focaccia is baked at 475 degrees Fahrenheit, while the baking temperature for traditional bread is 248 degrees Fahrenheit. Focaccia does not get stale easily due to the high quantity of olive oil and other herbs, while traditional bread does. Regular bread is less expensive and has less gluten than focaccia 5🌟Tuna sandwich   The spread was very rich an

Cinnamon lake side - goodies

This bakery serves almost everything including alcohol!    Goodies presented these fancy desserts and these had center fillings as well,  first up is the 5* Blueberry mirror slice  LKR 600 is like a mousse and  cheese cake and the taste of the subtle blueberry balanced out the sharp cheesecake  MUST TRY!    Next up on the decorative dessert is the 3*Orange milk chocolate slice LKR 600  The mousse had a indistinct taste of the milky orange but nutty fudge base didn't settle with me.    Their Mini 4*Chocolate chop LKR 1900 cookies are very tempting, only because it had nuts in it, I would not call it luxury or indulgence when I bite into this, but still pretty good.  for the price is it worth is? I'm not sure.    So these were the clouds of sugar that was available at goodies 5* Marshmallows LKR 800 these were pretty good and satisfying and I feel is a good price to pay.  Well I usually have their sandwiches which is pretty good but i always forget to take the pics so I'm g
