Step back in time to the elegant Sundae Tea Rooms of Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), circa 1930. This menu card invites us to indulge in a delightful afternoon tea experience, reminiscent of the British colonial era. Savor the aroma of authentic Ceylon Tea, freshly brewed and served in exquisite teacups. Delight in the decadence of handcrafted ice creams and sundaes, piled high with luscious toppings and drizzled with rich sauces. Refreshing iced fruit drinks quench your thirst, while an array of fancy cakes and dainty sandwiches satisfy your sweet and savory cravings. The Sundae Tea Rooms were a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a taste of luxury and sophistication amidst the bustling city of Colombo. The waiters, dressed in formal attire, glided gracefully between tables, balancing trays laden with delectable treats. This menu card transports us back to a bygone era, evoking memories of the British Raj and the unique blend of Indian and European influences that defined colonial Ceylon. The green, black, and white design elements reflect the natural beauty of the island and the refined elegance of the tea rooms. As you peruse this menu, imagine the soft hum of conversation, the clinking of teacups, and the sweet aroma of freshly baked pastries that filled the air. The Sundae Tea Rooms of Colombo offer a glimpse into the rich history and culinary traditions of Sri Lanka during the 1930s.
