The Grand Oriental Hotel (GOH) will host an authentic Jaffna Food Festival from June 23 to the 26 at the ‘Harbour Room’ where guests will be awed by an overview of Colombo’s finest scenery and bask in the euphoric atmosphere of Jaffna’s culture.

The festival will include a wide variety of Jaffna cuisine which is famous for its unique flavour and taste.

Specially prepared Jaffna curry powder and ingredients exclusive to the northern province will be used to enhance the typical everyday parripu and chicken curry diet, into a variety of delightful recipes - ranging from chicken kolambu, odiyal kool to steaming hot Jaffna crab curry.

For the seafood lovers, the Jaffna Food Festival is certainly an event you would not want to miss, as the dishes will be prepared to perfection using traditional recipes from Jaffna.

GOH Public Relations Executive Ishanki Gunawardena says that with the dawn of peace bringing in more people to the city for dining and entertainment, the Jaffna Food Festival will be an occasion to sample something different.

The Jaffna food Festival is going to offer all that and more to the lovers of the authentic cuisine.
