Reasons to visit

  • Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara
Tried @boxonoodlessl today and it was totally worth for the price of 500-600 bucks per bowl.

Geisha was the best with Teriyaki chicken and kang kung!so so good that wanted to have another one though the portion is filling af.
The gong was super fine with chunks of sweet & sour fish topped with bell pepper! 
Them noodles were great but the rice was the flop which it didn’t have any extra element so ordinary rice with some chicken and prawns here and there though the menu says it’s Indonesian rice(Jakarta Jumble)

Loved the ambiance and definitely recommending ❤️
