What – WTF picks for Rainy Days

Where – In Colombo

So this is the time for blankets and hot coffee. The days are nice and the cold and it's amazing how the cold always brings out the hunger in a person.

For the past week or so I have been dreaming about all types of food, and I have got many messages asking me to guide them to the places that matter, so here are my Top10 picks for monsoon indulgences.

Here is a break down of things you can have when it rains

1. Delicious Polos Cutlets by Jeewa & Kuma's Natural Foods at the good market

2. You can never go wrong with a crab fest, and the best place is Yarl Hotel at 46/1 Station Road, Colombo 6

3. The craving for chocolate is every second. My pick will be at our favorite dessert spot, Skrumptious

4. If you don’t mind walking in the rain, and I have been craving to have this too, the only issue being I live too far, it’s a crunchy bite at Galle Face Green for some Isso wade

5. Another place for a juicy bite is at The Sandwich Factory, located at Palm Grove, Colombo 03, if not the burger, then just sip on the new faluda shake so worth your time ☺

6. You can never go wrong with this, and it is their hot seller, Tres Leches at Butter Boutique

7. If you are on a budget, here is a safe place and its loved by every Peterite The Fresh Milk Shop, located at No.52, Dharmarama Road, Wellawatte

8. You can also treat your self to something fat-free and that’s at La Passion for A True Sri Lankan Head Massage, say no to the fancy places and sit on this hot seat for a bit

9. Want something fast, I'll say check out Taco Bell Sri Lanka, located at 36, Horton Place, Colombo 07 and my pick is the Crunchy Taco - Mexican Chicken with Smoky Chipotle Sauce - 300 Loved the crunchy exterior and the smoky filling

10. And my last pick is Cafe Kumbuk for a healthy pick, my favorite is the Pol Sambol Tostie – 600 Served with Spinach Salad + poached egg - so worth every bite

A television host, actor, producer, writer, and professional chatterbox, he’s spent years turning conversations into stories and stories into memorable television. Born in Jaffna and proudly calling Sri Lanka home, Danu has built a career around asking the questions everyone else is thinking—but with a smile that usually gets him out of trouble. Whether he’s interviewing celebrities, hosting major events, judging competitions, or chasing the next great story, there’s never really a dull moment. When he’s not on screen, he’s busy supporting local talent, championing meaningful causes through Sri Lankan Smile, or convincing himself that “just one more project” is a perfectly reasonable life choice. Known for his humour, colourful suits, quick wit, and the ability to make almost anyone laugh, Danu believes life is best lived with good conversations, great food, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you spot him, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly part of an interview… or at least a really entertaining conversation.
