Overlooking a gorgeous view of sea kissed sky and modern civilization, Skky Bar is now a popular nightlife venue for its many patrons, an ideal getaway from the hassles of city life that is left behind at the entrance to Skky.
Fusion is one of its many operating themes, creating the memorable ambience of fused relaxation and enticement, an essence that lingers in the minds of all who experience it over the extent of the night’s duration.
In addition to its many aesthetic appeals Skky also boasts of an unparalleled menu of food and beverages, both in context of tantalizing flavour and unmatched quality.
The recent unveiling of Skky Bar’s latest food menu dubbed as a “new age fusion Japanese menu” is the perfect addition to an already enthralling nightlife experience.
Nihon-ryōri is the name given for authentic Japanese food prepared according to the practices endemic to Japan and served in chawans. Among its many positive characteristics are the most popular health benefits and taste.
Popular for its low fat content and alleged cancer fighting properties, quality Japanese style cuisine is a rare delight in Colombo, making chef Chamila the bearer of good news.
Chamila Lakshitha, a Sri Lankan born with 18 years of foreign exposure under a string of high profile foreign chefs spearheads the kitchen staff of Skky Bar and promises nothing short of delightful dishes for his clientele.
Among the many charms of the newly unveiled menu are a few items that are sure to capture the hearts of whose taste buds they grace.
Keeping with its fusion theme, the chef has put together many signature style dressings and sauces including the Wasabi sauce and his special homemade Sashimi sauce.
The Cheese roll, a late addition to the menu is a Sushi roll that is a mandate for any and all Japanese food aficionados, lined with Sesame and decked with a contradictory mix of Avocado, Cream Cheese and Mango, the special sushi roll is a perfect introduction to the menu that is guaranteed to leave diners mesmerised.
New Sashimi Beef another addition to the list of rare delicacies, combines succulent Beef blocks with a choice of Teriyaki or Sashimi sauce, complimenting the fine texture of the beef, a true masterpiece.
For all of its fused goodness the food on offer also maintains the authenticity of its root tradition serving such timeless classics as Pork Katsudon and Tuna Tataki Salad.
What’s important to note is the high levels of quality in texture, taste and presentation all of which are points of emphasis in the Japanese tradition of food making.
The fine dining experience that is on offer at a nightlife venue complete with the trendiest soulful house and chill-out music is the finest definition of a fusion venue.
The Beef Yakitori and the Chicken Yakitori are examples of the breakaway variety that is on offer in terms of the Japanese menu. Sushi as it is colloquially known is considered a fine dining experience which it surely is.
However the sheer variety of items on offer make way for either a slow dinner, the way it was meant to be or a more new age quick side dish to go with accompanying beverages and conversation.
Regardless of what one’s tastes may be the new-era Japanese menu at the Skky Bar is a compulsory experience.
