GOURMET IN THE BOILER ROOM

POSTED ON JULY 30, 2018

Tracking global gastronomy is a fun job, but this one experience (in a 127 year old boiler room in the Srilankan mountains)  takes the cake. It was here in this boiler room of the iconic Grand hotel Nuwaraeliya  that the distinguished looking Boilerman provided an unending supply of hot water throughout the day to enable the aristocratic British guests to bathe.  After almost nine decades of burning tree logs to keep the water hot, a  diesel-fired boiler was introduced. It still keeps the water hot, but there is no dust or soot. It is here,  that the celebrated Chef Priyantha serves up a unique dining experience: delicate carpaccio to luxuriously creamy cake. Gems of delicious wizardry parade with panache. “Unique dining experience” gets redefined. Kudos!
