Kottu is indisputably Sri Lanka`s favourite comfort food but this distinction may not last too much longer. The Hilton Colombo now attempts to take a nation`s yearning for this delicious dish to even greater heights by showcasing this much loved speciality to the world as part of its `2,100 kg of Kottu` fundraiser. Join friends and families, and bear witness to what may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to participate in a potential world`s first, when 40 chefs from the Hilton Colombo`s Curry Leaf restaurant will prepare 2, 100 kgs of Chicken Kottu between 5.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m. on Sunday, October 21, 2007, at the Hilton Colombo Sports Centre Car Park. Open to all, `2,100 kgs of Kottu` is a first of its kind fundraising event, where guests will witness this spectacular blending of spices, roti and lots of chicken supplied by Maxies & Company Private Ltd.
Only requiring a minimal donation of Rs. 150 to enter, -all proceeds from this event will directly benefit the Ceylon School for the Deaf and Blind - the Hilton Colombo`s official 21st anniversary charity. Combined with this extraordinary culinary fresco will be a number of equally unique family oriented activities, from a Modem cultural show, to the Elephant Foot Drummers from Hikkaduwa to Kottu eating competitions popular local artists superstar Shihan Mihiranga, Iraj, C & C. This event is guaranteed to capture attention. In fact, first time visitors will feel especially welcome in the spirit of hospitality as the Hilton opens its doors to all with even the decor reflecting true Sri Lankan style and incorporating unique culture and flavours.
