Kaema Sutra dishes up Lankan delicacies in Hong Kong
View(s):
Chef and restaurateur Dharshan Munidasa and actress Jacqueline Fernandez’s contemporary Sri Lankan restaurant Kaema Sutra was invited to host a 10 day pop up event at the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
Known for conducting several overseas guest chef promotions annually and having hosted three-star Michelin Chefs such as Alain Passard and Massimo Bottura, this was the first time the Hong Kong Jockey Club had featured Sri Lankan cuisine in its restaurants.
Held at the Happy Valley Clubhouse from September 15 – 24, the event saw Chef Dharshan and his team plating up some of Kaema Sutra’s signature dishes including the giant Two-Egg Hopper, the Porksicle, the à la minute Ambulthial and of course the Lamprais. Also featured were Lankan favourites such as Kiribath, Pol Roti and Pol Sambol.
Dharshan says, “This was the longest overseas pop up we’ve ever done and I was very proud to be able to showcase Sri Lankan cuisine to another part of the world. It was also a great opportunity for my team to cook in an overseas kitchen which is not something most local restaurant staff get to experience.”
