Here are a few ...

I’ve been to The Boulevard about five times now and been very impressed by the quality of the food and the exceptionally speedy service that I have received on all my visits there so I decided to write about the place and give them some publicity as not many people know about the restaurant and it really is a lovely ...

So two days ago I saw a couple of tweets about 41 Sugar and checked it out on the Facebook link to the album: http://t.co/tvAPWxhCf8 and realized that Lemon had been re-branded Sugar and was eager to go check it out. Midge called me last afternoon and said she was heading into town and wanted to know if I was ...

Everyone has been talking about Kami Maki and how inexpensive the food is compared to the other few Japanese restaurants around Colombo that I got very curious and decided to try it out with Midge last week on Saturday night as I absolutely love Japanese food.

This year the highlight of my visit to Amsterdam apart from the Rijks Museum & the Stedelijk Museum was Grandpa’s Bistro located North East of the city in Sumatrakade.

We started with Pan Seared Medium Lagoon Prawns. A delectable trio of prawns ...

We got the opportunity to be part of the new menu tasting at Clique​ Supper Club last month. It was quite an experience. There was heaps to eat and every dish was carefully crafted for the occasion.

A valuable and welcome addition to the city located at No. 56 Stratford Avenue, Colombo 06. Lovely little dessert bar that’s run by a home-baker and her exuberant business partner. Excellent Créme Brûlée (Rs. 360), Chocolate Tart (Rs. 350) and Cheesecake (Rs. 450). Extremely reasonable prices and absolute value for money. The place has been well designed, it resembles a French ...

Colombo’s first boutique hotel and also probably one of the city’s best kept secrets since they opened their doors in December 1999. Tucked away down Havelock Place in a fairly residential area this is one of my favourite spots in the city to enjoy a meal with close friends, catch up on some reading over the weekend or enjoy a ...

Having seen so many beautiful advertisements on cable TV for God’s Own Country, a trip to Kerala had always been on my bucket list.

Getting There ...

Since both BFF and I live in the jungle according to some of our mutual friends we decided to meet for dinner on a weekday night, somewhere that was central to both of us so we choose to try out Coco Citrine as both of us had never actually eaten there.
