Sushi delights |
The Sushi Bar, tucked away in a cozy corner of the hotel’s Lounge, is
one of the few places in Colombo to turn out premium quality sushi and
sashimi. Guests are welcome to observe the technique involved in its
preparation over the bar, often giving them an added appreciation for
the food. Perched on a barstool at the Sushi Bar, guests are treated to
a view of the hotel’s crystal blue swimming pool and the Beira Lake
beyond.
Three platters of assorted sushi will be on offer. The first
comprises two pieces each of salmon sushi, tuna sushi, crab sticks, tuna
maki and avocado maki as well as a prawn, cuttlefish and mullet sushi.
Four pieces each of tuna and mullet sashimi, two pieces each of salmon
and tuna sushi and a piece of prawn, mullet and cuttlefish sushi make up
the second platter. The third platter consists of four pieces each of
tuna sashimi and salmon sashimi, two pieces each of salmon and tuna
sushi, and prawn, cuttlefish and mullet sashimi. During this month, the
hotel offers diners a special on Saké. For every two that are bought,
diners receive an additional cup free.
Raw fish and rice, the primary ingredients in Japanese cuisine, are
naturally low in fat and high in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and
minerals making sushi a popular choice amongst the health conscious.
Fats found in seafood are predominately unsaturated and thus contain
relatively high levels of Omega-3. Since sushi is often served raw, no
cooking fat is introduced during its preparation. The result – a guilt
free indulgence!
The seafood and vegetables used at the Sushi Bar also contain
vitamins and minerals. For example, shrimp is high in calcium and
iodine, whereas salmon is rich in Vitamin D. The gari and nori used to
make sushi are rich in both nutrients. Whether consumed as a snack or a
meal, a visit to the Sushi Bar will do as much good for one’s body as it
does one’s tastebuds.
The Sushi Bar is open from 12 noon until 10 pm daily and is
contactable on 2491956. |
