Stepping out of office for a quick lunch on weekdays can be a bit of a bother, especially when it comes to the search for good food served quickly.  Therefore, on most occasions it seems acceptable to have a quick snack at your desk and consider it a light lunch.

Busy executives rarely have time to eat lunch served quickly and make it back to office in an hour but they now have the option of dining at Royal Thai or Long Feng, Cinnamon Lakeside’s signature restaurants. Cinnamon Lakeside introduced express lunch this month and it is served quickly, with no compromise at all.

The pre-designed menus come in 3 options per restaurant and dishes are refreshed every week so regular diners can have an interesting dining experience on each occasion. At Long Feng, two of the three menus include chicken and seafood while the other menu is vegetarian.

The delicious four-course meal starts with two appetizers, usually vegetable spring rolls, fried seafood dumplings, prawn wantons, vegetable dumplings or tofu with soya sauce. A warm soup follows, usually chicken and corn or oriental mushroom.

The main course offers three dishes - chicken, fish or prawn and mixed vegetables. Diners can pick from vegetable or egg fried rice or noodles to accompany the main course. Cheesecake or a fresh fruit platter is served for dessert. The express lunch is reasonably priced at Rs.2100 all-inclusive.

Express lunch diners have the privilege of having their vehicles parked at the hotel’s entrance level for utmost convenience and a quick departure. Long Feng and Royal Thai provide private dining rooms with a capacity to seat up to 16 to 18 diners. For reservations, contact Cinnamon Lakeside on 0112491000.
