Chinese Dragon Café celebrates 75 years of service excellence

Chinese Dragon Café (Pvt.) Ltd., the highly acclaimed pioneering restaurant chain, recently commemorated 75 years of successful operation in Sri Lanka. With its roots running as far as the colonial times, the café has witnessed the rise and fall of many eras while withstanding trials and challenges of time. Spreading its branches throughout the commercial capital and its outskirts, today Chinese Dragon is the most sought after Chinese restaurant in Colombo where both local and foreign connoisseurs drop in to experience a culinary adventure.

In 1942, a Chinese immigrant couple who arrived in the island made a revolutionary change in the local food culture by establishing the very first Chinese Dragon Café outlet at Bambalapitiya. As the pioneer and market leader of Chinese cuisine in Sri Lanka, Chinese Dragon Café is recognised as the first restaurant in the country to introduce the concept of delivery service. As a truly Sri Lankan company that has served a loyal customer base for 4 generations, the Cafe is the country’s only Chinese restaurant with the own- ership of multiple outlets. Chinese Dragon Cafe’s outlets can be found in Bambalapitiya, Fort, Mount Lavinia, Wattala, Rajagiriya, Pelawatte, Nawala and Nugegoda.

In conjunction with its 75th anniversary, Chinese Dragon Cafe convened a press conference at their Miliagiriya outlet where 5 new dishes were unveiled to the public. The new dishes include Dragon Crispy Fried prawns, Dragon Malaysian Spare Ribs, Dragon Mixed Grilled, Dragon Prawn Toast, and the Dragon Cuttlefish Balls.
