Counting Calories at Calorie Counter

The first time I was introduced to the Calorie Counter at its first restaurant in Colombo 05 a year or so ago, I was expecting healthy food in its usual bad taste. A year down the line, I eat at the Calorie Counter at least once a week as do most people I know.

For the Love of Nutella

If anyone can honestly tell me that they are not a fan of Nutella I will die! (I won’t but well I will be truly surprised!) It may not be the healthiest thing to include in your diet but once in a while when you want to indulge yourself with something Nutella is definitely the way to go! When I saw the recipe for Nutella Sushi Rolls I was immediately drawn to it!

Il Ponte

Il Ponte has stood the test of time among the few high end Italian restaurants in Colombo. My first memory of Il Ponte was in my late teens when having an authentic Italian thin crust pizza was quite the luxury here in Colombo at the time. I can still recall how delicious it tasted and how I longed to have more.

Mango Tree has always been the go to restaurant for a taste of Indian cuisine, and recently I was one of the many who had the privilege of savouring the best of their Hyderabadi and Lucknowi delicacies laid out in view of a food festival that took place recently.

The English Cake Company

The English Cake Company is known for their gooey cakes, cheesecakes, tarts and pies and all this came about because Ellie Galapitage just couldn’t find good quality cakes in Colombo.
