Tomatoes seem to take on the hype this month at the Hilton Colombo. #EatDrinkHilton is all about local flavour and seasonal offerings and in keeping with the concept, the kitchen brigade has curated a few unique dishes and beverages for the discerning diner.
At Café Kai a combination of refreshing savoury and sweet items are available from dark chocolate and sun dried tomato pies to flourless dark chocolate and tomato cakes, bitter tomato eclairs to tomato chocolate pralines, tomato macaroons and white chocolate drops filled with tomato seeds. There is also homemade devilled tomato chutney with cinnamon and garlic or even a jar of black peppered tomato jam with coconut and vanilla, together with energy boosters. Graze Kitchen is serving up some appetizers and soup; baked taco tomato with ground beef, cheddar, sour cream and cashew guacamole, sun dried tomato hummus with crispy garlic bread, fish cake and tomato aioli, Vietnamese raw tomato wrap and a cold tomato and pumpkin soup.
