Colombo’s favorite crepe joint, Crepe Runner, joins the iconic Marine Drive food hub with the grand opening of its fourth outlet – the Crepe Runner Café. The café recently opened its doors to the public for dine-in, take away and delivery services.

The Crepe Runner Café is conveniently located at the heart of Kollupitiya and is easily accessible through Marine Drive. Customers can now enjoy a phenomenal view of the ocean and witness epic sunsets all while feasting on the delectable range of sweet and savory crepes Crepe Runner is famous for.

Crepe Runner’s story of success dates back to January 2019 with a simple food truck promising a revolutionary change to the food scene in Sri Lanka. They were the first-ever food truck to offer sweet and savory crepes in the streets of Colombo with a capacity to serve over 200 crepes a day. Due to overwhelming demand from their growing base of customers, Crepe Runner opened two more outlets; a café in Galle Road, Mount Lavinia and an outlet at the Food Court of Cool Planet, Maharagama. The newest café in Marine Drive is their second biggest outlet to open.

The new outlet will see several new additions to its menu alongside its signature range of sweet and savory crepes. By popular demand, Crepe Runner’s latest addition includes Loaded Fries topped off with either spicy meat or melted cheese.

Their range house beverages will now offer a variety of hot and cold coffees, coffee frappes and hot chocolate. All items at Crepe Runner are made to order and made to perfection with guaranteed consistency throughout all outlets.

‘We are thrilled to launch our fourth outlet and second café within a very short span of just two years since we started. The business has continued to grow bigger over the years and we are so grateful for our loyal customers and our hard-working team. We started Crepe Runner with a food truck running on the very same Marine Drive in Bambalapitiya and we are beyond excited to open our café on the same stretch to give our customers more of their favorite crepes’ says its Founder, Abdus Salaam.

Crepe Runner was recently awarded the merit award at SLIM Brand Excellence Awards 2020 under the category of Small Medium Enterprises for the brand’s rapid growth and success in the market.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe urged the Opposition to unite and disregard political differences to assist in carrying out the IMF agreement, which would aid in the development of Sri Lanka’s economy.

The President emphasized that his duty is not to condemn previous administrations but to concentrate on the development of the country. He also declared his dedication to constructing a better future by creating laws and frameworks that prevent the recurrence of past errors.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe delivered this message in a special address to Parliament this morning (22) regarding the receipt of the Extended Credit Facility from the International Monetary Fund.

He stated that despite allegations being leveled against him that his objective was not to rescue the country from an economic crisis but to safeguard the Rajapaksa family, the international community had acknowledged his efforts to carry the country across the economic vine bridge.

The President further said that he had faith in rebuilding the beloved country where he was born, brought up and educated, and said that many past experiences were the reasons for confirming that faith.

The main Opposition, Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB), and the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) yesterday (21) moved Supreme Court against Treasury Secretary Mahinda Siriwardana over his failure to provide funds required by the Election Commission to conduct the Local Government polls, ignoring an interim order issued by the apex court, on 03 March.

Ranjith Madduma Bandara, MP, is the petitioner for the SJB and Vijitha Herath, MP, moved court on behalf of the JVP, the leading party in the Jathika Jana Balawegaya (JJB).

Two Opposition parties declared action against Siriwardana the day after the Freedom People’s Alliance (FPA) issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Finance Secretary to release the funds.

EC Chairman Nimal Punchihewa is on record as having said that in spite of SC directive he didn’t receive fresh funding.

The petitioners sought the issuance of summons on Siriwardana for contempt of court over failure to carry out its interim orders, given on 03 March.

The petitioners want the Finance Secretary punished in terms of Article 105 (3) of the Constitution.

The SJB stated that Siriwardana had refrained from carrying out the March directives, on the basis of a Cabinet decision, taken on 13 Feb., 2023. The SJB also pointed out that the offensive conduct of the Treasury Secretary, inter alia, causes grave prejudice to the esteemed authority of the Supreme Court and in turn disturb the public confidence in the authority of the highest Court in the country.

Minister indicates reduction in fuel prices in April

Published

on

Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara told Parliament yesterday that fuel prices would be reduced considerably according to the fuel price formula at the next fuel price revision, due in April.

The Minister said that the government would be able to procure fuel shipments, at lower prices, during competitive bidding, with the receipt of the IMF bailout.

There had been practical issues, and problems, in opening Letters of Credit, and obtaining credit facilities, in the recent past, as Sri Lanka could not give a guarantee to fuel suppliers, Minister Wijesekara said.

“We could not open LCs and obtain credit facilities when procuring fuel. After the IMF bailout, we will be able to procure fuel at lower prices during competitive biddings. We will be able to obtain a long-term credit facility as well. Fuel prices in the global market seem to have declined and the rupee has also gained strength against the US Dollar. Having considered all these factors, fuel prices will be reduced by a considerable margin which could be felt by the people,” he said.
