Acclaimed Sri Lankan Restaurant Launches 5-Course Tasting Menu

(MENAFN- Pressat) Colombo Kitchen, the acclaimed Sri Lankan restaurant in Worcester Park and Putney, is set to launch its inaugural five-course tasting menu, offering a culinary journey that reflects the rich flavors of Sri Lanka. This menu, available alongside the a la carte menu, features dishes such as:

Grilled Prawns in Lime and Coconut Salsa served with gotukola: Succulent prawns marinated and grilled to perfection, served with a tangy lime and coconut salsa and gotukola (a Sri Lankan green).

Thali with assorted Curries: A traditional Sri Lankan platter featuring a selection of the restaurant's favorite curries, providing a diverse tasting experience.

Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Biscuit Pudding: A delightful dessert inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate and pistachio combination, reimagined in a traditional Sri Lankan chocolate biscuit pudding.

This tasting menu is a testament to the culinary expertise of Executive Chef Sylvia Perera, who was honored as National Chef of the Year at the Asian Restaurant Awards 2024. Additionally, the restaurant's renowned lamprais received a prestigious 2-star Great Taste Award from the Guild of Fine Food in 2024.

Chef Perera took inspiration from her coastal upbringing in Negombo, where she would buy the freshest seafood from local fishermen, an experience affectionately known as "Lellama,". Chef Sylvia says“This menu evokes cherished memories of growing up in Negombo - a town celebrated for its seafood. During my time there, I developed a deep understanding of how delicately seafood should be handled and honed in the skill of selecting the best seafood and preparing them to perfection.”

Colombo Kitchen's new tasting menu offers an opportunity to experience the depth and diversity of Sri Lankan flavors, skillfully crafted by an award-winning chef. Available in both branches in Worcester Park and Putney, throughout the week with 3 days advance notice. Book online
