Masterchef comes to Sri Lanka
At last Masterchef has finally come to Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankan cuisine is amazing and needs to be discovered by a wider audience.
We hope that Masterchef Sri Lanka is the driver that shows off the best of Sri Lankan food and more people will taste the delicious dishes that are made across the island.
At GlenMyu Estate, we are excited that this will provide an appetite to try Sri Lankan food.

What is Masterchef?
MasterChef is a reality show cooking competition which has been running for over 25 years.
It started in the UK in 1990 where contestants competed to be crowned Britain’s best amateur chef.
The show has been adapted in over 65 territories worldwide, and broadcast in over 200.
MasterChef is watched globally by over 300 million viewers.
There is an amateur and professional version of the TV series.
We champion Sri Lankan food
At GlenMyu Estate, we champion Sri Lankan food.
There are many places around the island that offer Western foods for those travellers that are a bit nervous about trying local dishes. We understand. With the Sri Lankan desire for food with high concentrations of chilli, pepper and salt, it can be a bit scary.Â
As Ruwanthi lived in the UK for many years before returning to Sri Lanka and opening GlenMyu Estate, she was used to tempering the spices down for a Western palette.
