Whether your afternoon tea is a catch-up date with your besties or a quick in between meal with your work colleague when you’ve struggled to fit in lunch, the High Tea at the Ramada Colombo is what you’ve been waiting for. The new-fashioned way of doing things makes the High Tea easy, it’s on every day of the week and it’s just more fun this way.
The hotel has taken care to think of what guests would want the most. High tea’s on anytime from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. so if it’s a quick-fix between meetings to make up for lunch or if dropping in after work to shift gear and talk about the happy things in life, there’s a time slot that would fit everyone’s schedule.
The high tea ritual does away with overly-fussed buffets and presents the three-tiered platter service with delicious savoury and sweet eats. There’s a choice of ambience too for every mood. Early afternoon is when guests would appreciate the minimalist design of the lobby whilst a twilight chill-out by the poolside lets them sit back and relax.
There’s much to say on the three-tiered platter with inventive items for tea, but the truth lies in the tasting. The smoked salmon and avocado sets the tone for more delicious eats to come whilst the Japanese okonomiyaki open sandwich is one the chefs have mastered the art of making. Here’s something else that’s new … there’s no one sauce that complements all so there is something for each dish. Foodies of the ocean will love the crunchy taste of the white breaded shrimp ball with sweet chilli sauce whilst the chicken tunde ke kebab with tamarind sauce adds to more flavour from the region.
Moving on to tea-time sweets, the homemade scones might make diners think they’re straight out of the oven of a quaint British home, whilst the top treat of the high tea is likely to be the signature cranberry and white chocolate oatmeal cookies.
With the alluring simplicity of the three-tiered platter service priced at Rs. 1,700 nett for two persons, stretched timings from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day and the choice of where to dine, high tea really is more fun this way. Call us on 0112422001 for reservations.
