German bakery

Disclaimer:  I've heard that Germans don't have as much of a sweet tooth as Americans, so I guess Sri Lankans are similar to Americans in this regard. 5🌟 CHRISTMAS STOLLEN LARGE 800g LKR 3000/- Comes gift wrapped  I really liked the sweet ginger preserve bits in the first taste since it was soft and tangy like blue cheese. And the coating of sugar undoubtedly provided an extra dose of sweetness in the morning. 4🌟 Chocolate walnut brownie slab, 400g LKR 1175/- This was not at all like the browni I've had in Sri Lanka; rather, it was more like a delicate plain cake with almonds on top. What I found is that the chocolate aftertaste is more prominent than this distinct kind of sweetness which is a plus.  3🌟 Cinnamon bun x 2 LKR 950/-  In terms of cinnamon rolls, I would say that this one was inferior to those I've had at Cinnabrown and other home bakers, The filling was more like a light raisin-cinnamon filling, and it was light and flaky but not as flaky a

Food - seafood restaurant ** 1. Ambiance - vivid and brilliant (AC needs some work as it was a bit too hot) 2. Food presentation - colorful and palatable 3. Food taste - 5✩ 4.

About me

              Welcome to review galore 2020,       by a Sri Lankan reviewer (LK) I want to offer an unbiased opinion on the products, food, property visits, and other services I've gotten. My Culture  My great grandparents immigrated to Sri Lanka from the Indian state of Kerela, where they established down, and I am the third generation to do so. even though I am a Hindu and Malayalam is my native tongue. I attended a Tamil school and am fluent in that language. I consider myself fortunate to have been born in Sri Lanka, a multi-cultural island that is home to Sinhala, Tamil, Muslims, and Christians. As a result, I have had the opportunity to sample many of the local delicacies.  My Taste in food,  Naturally, I enjoyed sweets and junk food when I was younger, but as I've gotten older and tried to manage my weight, I've adapted to clean eating and have developed a sensitivity to salt and sugar.
