Explore The Wonderful Sri Lankan Cuisine At Chronicles Of Ceylon 2.0 Food Festival At Pullman Dubai

The upcoming Chronicles of Ceylon 2.0 is set to enthrall attendees with its distinct celebration of Sri Lankan culture, cuisine, and entertainment. Hosted by Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre in Medley Restaurant from the 22nd to the 24th of November 2024, this event follows the remarkable success of its debut in 2023, promising an even richer experience.

At the heart of this cultural festivity, Chefs Roziro Mathias and Dammika Herath have meticulously planned a menu that traverses the flavors of Sri Lanka's prominent cities: Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Jaffna, and Anuradhapura. Their culinary prowess will be complemented by Chef Thushara Innasithamby, the brains behind My Sister's Kitchen. Specializing in northeastern Sri Lankan cuisine, Chef Thushara will introduce attendees to her signature dishes, including Mutton paal poriyal and Paraw red fish curry, showcasing the homemade taste of the region.

Ruzaina Hadgie, a renowned food enthusiast, will add another dimension to the event with her expertise in Sri Lankan cuisine infused with Malay traditions. Her creations, like the beef rendang satay and fiery fried beef sambol, are set to enrich the Chronicles of Ceylon 2.0 with diverse and vibrant flavors.

The festival is a culinary voyage through Sri Lanka's gastronomic diversity, offering over 70 dishes spanning salads, starters, mains, and desserts. It's designed to honor the unique culinary traditions of each city while emphasizing ingredients that promote holistic wellness.

From the rich and spicy tastes of Colombo to the bold crab curry of Jaffna, the robust venison black curry from Anuradhapura, and the smoky chicken kalupol maluwa from Kandy, the menu is a ticket for diners in Dubai to explore Sri Lanka's varied and rich culinary landscape.

Laura Nicli, Hotel Manager at Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre, expressed her enthusiasm for the event, noting the success of the previous year's festival and the eagerness of UAE residents and tourists for new cultural experiences. "We are thrilled to be hosting Chronicles of Ceylon 2.0 again this year.

There is a clear desire for new experiences among UAE residents and tourists, and we look forward to catering not only to those interested in food but also to those looking to immerse themselves in a cultural experience. Pullman Dubai Creek City Centre's Medley perfectly interweaves Chef Roziro and Dammika's delicious traditional recipes with nutritional value and cultural significance."

The event boasts significant partnerships, including Cotton Collection as the sponsor, offering attendees the chance to win vouchers to explore the brand's bohemian-inspired designs. Furthermore, Dilmah, as the exclusive Tea Partner, will elevate the experience with its premier Ceylon teas, adding a touch of elegance and authenticity to the event.
