SRI LANKA BATTICLOA BURGHERS

Previous Article The DBU has undergone significant renovation, since I last visited a decade or more ago. In other words, a renaissance. May I say, a not so elegant duckling has evolved into a beautiful graceful swan. The present architecture and the ambiance truely reflects the period reminscent of the colonial Dutch period in Ceylon. The local architect and the project manager deserve to be applauded for their outstanding work. From my observations of the DBU it is a thriving, well patronised boutique hospitality venue in Colombo and growing in popularity. Lunch times are particularly busy. The complex consists of two floors. The ground floor where a small a cafe serves love, chocolate, jaggery cakes, and typical Burgher short eats. Customary beverages are available. My pièce de résistance is the tall, glass of cold, home made Ginger Beer and the authentic Dutch Burgher, Lamprai wrapped in real banana leaf. An alfresco food court surrounded by tropical greenery and an undercover L shaped dining area. I observed many patrons in neat casual summery attire either in the cafe, courtyard or dining area. On Saturdays from 7.00 pm a buffet dinner is provided with soft live back ground piano music, the evergreen classics of the 60s era such the music of Nat King Cole, Pat Boone and Johny Mathis. This establishment is dissimilar to other comparable venues in the heart of Colombo. It is enjoyable, relaxing, peaceful with an old world charm. The second floor consists of a spacious area with a number of small modular lounges, small bar, and well furnished area for formal business meetings and conferences. It also has a small alfresco area. A large Mango tree draws your attention where ever you are. Limited number of single and double bed rooms with modern on-suite facilities are available at present, with more being gradually introduced. The facilities on the 2nd floor are reserved for members of the DBU only. The DBU has a policy of inclusiveness and does not intend to restrict membership. However there is a protocol for becoming a member. Mr. David Colin - Thome is the President of the DBU. The Dutch Burgher Union, (DBU) Colombo, Sri Lanka – by Joe Paiva
