As Korean cuisine becomes an international cuisine of choice amongst many diners across the world, Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo once again takes the lead and shows immense pride in introducing Korean cuisine to the Sri Lankan palate.

With its variety of new, distinctively creative flavours, all diners can look forward to a culinary experience like no other. Specialty guest chef Chef Yang leads the hotel’s team of culinary masters to bring these Korean delicacies to The Dining Room buffet this March. Korean cuisine, as the national cuisine is known today, has evolved through the centuries. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in southern Manchuria and the Korean peninsula, the cuisine has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. Largely based on rice, vegetables and meat, traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes that accompany the steam-cooked rice. Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo brings all its diners an array of assorted, aromatic, beautiful dishes that transport diners across the world with their experience of this authentic cuisine. The approach to food from the Korean culture is quite unique, permeating every aspect of life, as Korean food has much more significance than something that fills one’s belly. It provides the world with a taste for and a connection to the country.

Amongst the cold dishes on the menu, Gim Bap, a rice roll with assorted vegetables and Kimchi are must haves. Followed by hot dishes such as the Modum Jeon, known as an assorted Korean pancake or even a Dak Gal Bi, a pan fried chicken with cabbage in Korean spicy sauce is recommended.

Topped off with a Dan Ho Bak Juk, known as a wet pumpkin porridge with rice cake ball or Soo Jung Kwan comprising a mix of cinnamon, ginger and sugar, two of Korea’s finest desserts, completes the meal.

Indulge in this spectacular buffet from 8 to 22 March 2013, at The Dining Room from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Priced at Rs. 2,555 all inclusive per person, it is an affordable and authentic way to explore the delicacies of Korea, short of travelling there.
