Bluegrass Jazz and Soul Food at MLH
View(s):By Sanath Weerasuriya
Soul Food, a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Southern US culture, is known for its rich flavours, comforting textures and hearty portions. It is a cuisine of synchronising love, tradition and community. Southern US culture is now recreated at the Governor’s Restaurant every Friday during the festival season with Bluegrass Jazz band led by musician Sanjeewa Indika Uyanahewa.
At MLH guests will have the opportunity to indulge in a wide array of soul food delicacies carefully crafted by Mount Lavinia Chefs.
Smothered pork chops, Mac and Cheese, perfectly seasoned collard greens and Hush Puppies – Sweet Potato Pie, Mississippi Mud Cake and Pecan Pie – are just a few of the mouthwatering dishes that await at Governor’s Restaurant every Friday Night.
Mount Lavinia Hotel has also curated a lineup of talented musicians who will grace the stage with their soul-stirring performances. Bluegrass Jazz, a genre rooted in the American South, combines the soulful melodies of Jazz with the irresistible energy of bluegrass.
The melodic strums of the banjo, harmonious sounds of the fiddle and the gentle twangs of the guitar will transport you to the heart of a smoky jazz club in the deep South of USA’ said Anura Dewapura – Chief Operating Officer of MLH revealed.
‘I am confident that the Southern US cuisine suits the Sri Lankan taste palette very well where the dishes are full of flavour, robust and nature. Southern State’s ancient days were all by farming and growing crops for their consumption of food. They have been using every part from animals, plant roots and leaves into their dishes. It’s very much alike to Sri Lankan food culture back in the days. Therefore the similar exposure will create a familiar yet a foreign food experience and I am happy to invite everyone to experience the typical southern cuisine of USA’ he added.
