This September, Shangri-La Colombo invites diners on a rare culinary journey, where the timeless artistry of Chinese cuisine meets the soulful authenticity of Myanmar’s flavours. From 5 to 14 September, Central Restaurant transforms into a vibrant dining stage, offering an unforgettable dinner buffet from 6.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.

The team of international gastronomic experts — Chef Su Machang and Chef Jasen from China, together with Chef San Myint Lwin from Myanmar — craft every dish into a flavour to remember, bringing the authentic spirit of their homelands to your table.

Guests can indulge in a feast that captures the very essence of these two cuisines: delicate dim sum, classic Kung Pao chicken, and the fiery depth of mapo tofu from China; alongside Myanmar’s beloved mohinga, hearty Shan noodles, coconut-rich ohn no khao swè, crisp samosa salad, and comforting curries paired with fragrant rice and handmade noodles. Every dish tells a story — of heritage, flavour, and the enduring traditions that bring people together.

The Chinese and Myanmar Food Festival is more than an evening of dining – it is a cultural journey expressed through taste, spice, and artistry. Hosted within the elegant surrounds of Central Restaurant, the experience embodies Shangri-La’s promise of refined hospitality and extraordinary global flavours.

Priced at Rs. 9,350 nett per person, guests can also enjoy an exclusive 25% savings with Sampath Bank credit cards – the perfect occasion to gather with family and friends and savour this one-of-a-kind celebration.
