Chef Saman Jayawardene

Chef Saman is a man of few words, preferring to let his food do the talking for him. And talk they do. I recently sat down for a tete-a-tete with Chef Saman at the Pasticcino, where we savoured some of his food over the conversation. Situated at the Dankotuwa outlet at Guildford Crescent, Cafe P

Caramel Pumpkin

Located on the top of Ward Place and Wijerama Road in Colombo, Caramel Pumpkin is a quirky café which opened their doors in January this year. I went in thinking this will most likely be just another café with the usual café food but I was pleasantly surprised.

A Simple Recipe for Kesari this Avurudu

It is one of those things that I used to wait impatiently till my friends from school brought to share with us after the New Year celebrations. Since I no longer have that option, I taught myself how to make it and found that it is not too difficult.

King Cone Ice Cream²

I think I finally found the densest and creamiest ice cream I have ever eaten. I love my ice creams and have dug into different varieties around the world but that first bite into King Cone Ice Cream² left me speechless.

Feast with Bibikkan this Avurudu!

Coconut cake famously known as Bibikkan isan essential at your Avurudu table. Just like you can’t celebrate Christmas without Christmas cake, Avurudu without Bibikkan is almost a sham! And many of us opt to buy it from a store thinking it’s complicated to make it.

Sugar Beach

Beach, sand, sunsets and cocktails, Sugar Beach is perhaps our favourite seaside restaurant in Colombo. Located on the Mount Lavinia beach, Sugar Beach faces a clean and unpopulated portion of the beach so you get an unrestricted view of the sunset and the waves.

Indulgent Desserts

Nashika Perera is the passionate lady behind Indulgent Desserts. She creates some of the most mouth watering cakes, desserts and sweets and the highlight of them all is the home made feel that comes through with everything she makes.

Momo's by Ruvi

Momo’s by Ruvi, Colombo’s only dedicated dumpling spot, recently added another location near Regal Cinema. The newer location is much more spacious, airy, has plenty of natural light and much needed parking! I personally found it a lot more convenient than their original spot in Bambalapitiya.

Chathuri’s CuteCakes

Before Chathuri Wanniarachchi began taking orders from last year in June, she’d spent time assisting her mother with various cakes and desserts for family functions. The comments kept pouring in and thankfully were positive. This then led Chathuri to enroll herself in several baking classe

Dinner at Monsoon

There was a lot of hype set around Monsoon when they opened on November 1, 2017 so much so that it was near impossible to get an appointment for a review. Last week we finally ventured there on a Tuesday evening and it was buzzing.
