The move aims to serve both long-time customers and tourists visiting the hill country during the Avurudu season. The outlet has already begun drawing attention from both residents and holidaymakers looking to enjoy their favourite dishes in the cool climate of Nuwara Eliya. This seasonal branch is a strategic extension of the brand, especially with many Colombo-based customers visiting the area with their families during the April holidays. The menu at the temporary outlet includes many of the brand\u2019s signature items such as seafood fried rice, fried noodles, tom yum soup, hot butter cuttlefish, and crispy spring rolls. The restaurant has also introduced free delivery within the Nuwara Eliya area, making it easier for guests staying in hotels, holiday homes, or bungalows to enjoy their meals without having to travel.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time Chinese Dragon Cafe has opened a seasonal outlet in Nuwara Eliya, and it comes at a time when the town is filled with both local and foreign tourists enjoying the cool weather and festive mood. Local residents have also responded enthusiastically. Many say they\u2019ve heard of the brand but hadn\u2019t had the chance to try it until now. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to finally taste food from a place we\u2019ve heard so much about,\u201d one customer said. \u201cWe wanted to bring the Chinese Dragon experience to where our customers are. The feedback so far has been very positive. People are happy to see a familiar name in a popular holiday destination like Nuwara Eliya. This outlet will remain open throughout April. Whether it becomes a recurring seasonal feature will depend on the response, but for now, it\u2019s offering visitors a familiar and flavourful option.&#8221; said Chinese Dragon Cafe&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gayan Fernando.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3741\" src=\"https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC.jpg 800w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-400x223.jpg 400w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-650x362.jpg 650w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-250x139.jpg 250w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-200x111.jpg 200w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-350x195.jpg 350w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-450x250.jpg 450w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-500x278.jpg 500w, https:\/\/english.lankanewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CDC-550x306.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese Dragon Caf\u00e9, the leading restaurant brand known for Sri Lankan-style Chinese cuisine, has opened a temporary outlet at the Alpine Hotel in Nuwara Eliya for the month of April.
