The
creativity and authenticity never ceases at Glass House, with their newest
creation being ‘Flavours of Lanka’ food festival, gives one an authentic
culinary journey across Sri Lanka. Visiting chef Thulitha Niranjana from Hilton
Colombo Residence has aptly created a menu that features Sri Lanka’s most
magnificent delicacies. Hailing from the secluded town of ‘Hanwella’ situated
30km away from its capital Colombo in Sri Lanka, Thulitha Neranjana (27) claims
that he always knew that he desired to be a chef. Even as a child, Thulitha
would don a play hat and use kitchen utensils to whip up imaginary meals for an
audience. He commenced working in a local hotel for a year and was then
selected to Hilton Colombo Residences where his chief responsibilities include
planning buffet menus for the main restaurant, and overlooking the areas for
quality and consistency in multiple cuisines in the restaurant as Commis Chef.
Even now, Thulitha spends much of his time researching new dishes online,
studying new food trends, and learning how to perfect his dishes. “Cooking is a
way of life – a combination of science and art. I am glad that I discovered my
passion at a young age that has made me realize my dreams in this industry”,
says Chef Thulitha when asked about cooking and what it means to him. To credit
this, he has won awards for live cooking competitions held at a national level.
According to Chef Thulitha, there isn’t a great distinction between the Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine as the two countries have similarities in culture, lifestyle, and beliefs. The only factor is that Sri Lankan cuisine incorporates spices differently, with a different blend. Chef Thulitha will spend the next week in showcasing dishes that are unique to Sri Lanka, such as ‘Kalu Pol Maaluwe’, ‘Ambul Thiyal’, ‘Batu Moju’, and ‘Bitter gourd sambol’. Each dish offers a myriad of flavor and different levels of spice. When asked about the Sri Lankan promotion in India, Chef Thulitha says that it is an honour to represent the country, doing something he was destined to do. “I am going to focus on the authenticity of the cuisine to ensure every guest visits Sri Lanka, gastronomically speaking. I am so thankful to have an experience such as this, and I look forward to speaking to guests and explaining each item of the food”, he continued.
The Flavours of Lanka food festival being held from 8th July
to 17th July 2016 at Hilton Garden Inn Gurgaon/Baani Square, is definitely an
event never seen before in Gurgaon and that too, to such a pure and authentic level.
The meal makes for a perfect dinner for those foodies who are always looking
for something new to please their palate.
