Pegasus Reef Wattala hosted ‘Love at first bite’, a romantic cook for your Valentine competition on 13 February. To register for the competition couples had to register via a Facebook selfie competition where eight lucky couples were short listed to compete in a competition where they had to cook for their Valentine.
The event started with the couples being welcomed at Pegasus Reef Hotel with each lady recieving a red rose. The couples were then treated to a mouthwatering three-course candle light dinner set at the romantic ambience of The Deck at the Fishery, against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.
Apart from the main competition another Facebook competition was conducted simultaneously at the event where the couple who had the most number of likes was also rewarded. However not a single couple was truly disappointed as all of them went home with wonderful gifts.
The competition saw the male contestants preparing a seafood dish within a time span of 20 minutes and the dishes were judged according to the creativity, attractiveness, difficulty, cleanliness, and last but not least taste. The competition was judged by Pegasus Reef Resident Manager Harsha Jayasinghe, Pegasus Reef Executive Housekeeper Mala Munasinghe and Pegasus Reef Head Chef Roshan Jayawickrama.
The lucky couple Harintha and Kaushalya Fernando won jewellery worth Rs. 100,000 and a five-course seafood dinner at the Fishery on Valentine’s Day while the others won gift vouchers from clothing stores and Pegasus Reef.
