It is gentle and calm but also has a voracious appetite.
Paloma Scott, Director Calamander Unawatuna Beach, says "If you are keen to try dishes from the diverse regions of China, as well as from the Chinese Diaspora around the world, our chefs will be cooking at our live action station, one of our signature dishes, Ramen and special stir fried beef and vegetables, served with rice or noodles.
Other dishes from our varied buffet selection, catering to all tastes, will be tasty Chinese style 'Five Spice' chicken winglets, succulent pork spare ribs, delicate vegetable spring rolls with chilli dipping sauce and for those soup lovers, the best crab and sweet corn soup, highly popular with all guests.
There is our consistently popular Singapore style chilli crab, Chinese chicken drumsticks, vegetable Chop Suey and to round off the Chinese inspired feast, a delicious Pineapple Upside Down cake and additive banana and pineapple fritters."
The resort caters for all nationalities and a good range of Sri Lankan food as well as Western and other Eastern style dishes feature.
She further added, "We always have a live action grill station with fresh fish and meats for those who like plainer food.
And for those vegetarians or guests who want to watch their waist lines or who are more health conscious, a great selection of salads and assorted dressings are always available as well as live action fresh fruit platters.
Freshly baked pizzas and bread and a hot pudding always features.
And for those with a sweet tooth, there is always a delectable array of sweet confections and Sri Lankan curd and treacle.
Calamander Unawatuna Beach is reinventing itself as a resort that combines good facilities, great service and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, underpinned by the owners' ethos of modern Western design that compliments and celebrates the natural beauty of Unawatuna Bay and pays homage to the vernacular architecture of the country, rather than following the well worn design path of Sri Lanka's most famous architect, Geoffrey Bawa.
