Hey there lovely people,

We have some good news for you 😍

Under the auspices of “ we were fortunate to be able to distribute some home made goodness to our hard working CMC staff around Colombo.

It was an amazing day. We were showered with overwhelming support shown to us in number of ways. Words of encouragement, volunteering donations etc . The ripple effect has started to ripple its goodness and will continue to so. We are truly blessed to be able to carry on this initiative with those who inspire and support us by thought word and deed.

Were you inspired by our initiative ? If so please help another , do something that would bring a smile that’s the whole ethos of the ripple effect initiative 🙂

Life is tough sometimes, therefore a small act of kindness can make someone’s day.

Remember : Be the change you want to see in the world 😇

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe of you must, but take the first step.

Throw kindness around like confetti 🎉 it’s that simple ☘️

Love always ❤️

| The nomenclature ‘Teacher’ is a cap that each of us can wear very easily. Since the Learning Curve is ad Infinitum, we all absorb information, thoughts and actions which we then call knowledge and experience. The important thing is to be principled and do the right thing always, so that one day when you look back at your life, you can be proud of who you were and continue to be the best you can be 😊

Team Chow & Dragonfly takes this opportunity to bless those who have inspired us, may it be our parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, family , strangers, whoever it may be. We are eternally thankful and extend our heartfelt appreciation.

Teacher’s Day is one day we can put a little effort to show gratitude to those who have molded our lives in ways we never expect.

Take time to send a little message, a handmade card , a simple “thank you” to those who have taken their time to add a little color to your life 🌈

Let your gratitude transcend to the universe 💫

Remember, if you have learnt a lesson in life which has transformed you into who you are today , they are teachers by their own right.

Take every opportunity to learn from whatever situation that may come your way, let every circumstance teach you what is important in life. At times you maybe astonished to know that your nemesis may also teach you to be a kinder person in a cruel world. You may ask yourself : Isn’t kindness beautiful instead?

Most of all take this day as a stepping stone to thank “YOURSELF” for teaching you, that you are your own hero 🏅💪

Life is a fantastic journey with bumps and hiccups along the way - teach yourself to enjoy it 😇

Hope you have a beautifully amazing Teacher’s day ❤️

Down Memory Lane ❤️

Our journey began with the love for and which led us to start our very own quaint and cosy cafe in Kandy back in 2017 and we proudly named it . It was a bumpy ride for sure but with the support and encouragement from our amazing patron, believer and cheerleader “Aththammi” ( ) we were able to push through and make our small dream come true.

It took us 15 hours a day for one week to convert a tiny garage space into our little diner. We transformed it into a cozy little eatery near the serene Kandy Lake, adjacent to aththammi’s beautiful Lake Bungalow, where locals and foreigners loved to dine-in.

One thing our team here at Chow & Dragonfly know best is to feed the hungry. Our food is always prepared with love and care and we were lucky enough to feed so many folks to their hearts content.

With our move to Colombo we decided that we must simultaneously give our attention to initiate a social outreach project called “Ripple Effect” along side with treating you with our tasty flavors from Kandy.

Aththammi’s words of wisdom and advice have been the forerunner of every step we have taken so far. Her house always had food for everyone. She was the happiest when she knew that she had fed all those who had come to visit her. When asked why ? She says: “ Darling, nothing brings people together than good food”

We have always been so touched by her words of wisdom and especially the following words touched our hearts so deep.

“In this troubled world it’s refreshing to find,
Someone who still has the time to be kind,
Someone who still has the faith to believe,
The more you give the more you receive,
Someone who is rich by thought word or deed,
To help another in the hour of need.

Keeping these words in mind, we have taken the initiative to give meal packs to recipients who so deserve to be pampered and taken care of. As a stepping stone, we have chosen 25-30 CMC Workers around Colombo every Sunday at 9.30am to extend our gratitude for their continued service. They work daily amidst changing weather and strive to keep our roads and cities clean and beautiful.

We salute you 🙏

Let’s make this world a better place - let’s start small and venture into something beautiful.
More the merrier they say 😬

Please know that 25% of the profits of Chow & Dragonfly will be allocated to this cause.

Do await our updates this Sunday ☘️

Thank you for your support guys. We appreciate it ❤️
