Chef Anura from the island nation is ready to cast his culinary magic on guests during the 10-day festival, while showcasing the island’s truly rustic and authentic flavours.
Sri Lankan cuisine is one of the most diverse, incorporating authentic flavours and aromas. This dish has a long history, combining different curry seasonings, seafood and many delicious dishes made with authentic spices.
The cuisine derives from a strong local culture and colonial influences from Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom who came to Sri Lanka for its famous spices and teas. South Indian and Malay traders also had an influence on Sri Lankan food.
The chefs at Novotel came up with the idea of hosting this food exchange to soothe our taste buds with flavour-filled food.
