  3. Hill Club

    Dinner at Hill Club is an event in itself. The five-course set menu focuses on hearty meals like roast beef, served, with all the trimmings, promptly at 8pm. The whole thing is carried off with faded colonial panache: gloved waiters, candles and linen tablecloths and serviettes. For the formal dining room, men must wear a tie and jacket – there are a few on hand, but they sometimes run out – or Sri Lankan national dress. Women must also be suitably attired in a dress or dress slacks. The dress code at the Hill Club’s à la carte, casual restaurant is not so strict.

Monster Mash also serves a wide variety of traditional British foods, including puddings, sausage and mash and, of course, outstanding fish and chips. It also has a fine selection of wine, beer and ale.

    With a library of English-language books, a stack of games, and treats that range from quiche to fresh-squeezed orange juice to oatmeal cookies, this contemporary café is a popular expat hang-out. English menu, English-speaking staff and free wireless internet access too.

    Fosters

    Fosters is Australian beer and the staff here are Chinese, but they manage to conjure up some decent Brit pub food (steaks, pork sausages, fish and chips, steak and mushroom pie etc) without the annoying olde-worlde interior design. The leafy outdoor deck is great for a pint.

  7. Mason's Arms

    Suddenly, a clunky structure emerges from the swaying palms; it's a Tudor-style manse, plucked directly from Stratford-upon-Avon and plunked down in the steamy jungle. This lodge-like lair is one blood pudding away from being an official British colony. The fish 'n' chips is a local favourite.

    Bread & Butter

    This is a tiny place that is popular with resident English teachers. The pub food includes staples like fish and chips, pies and burgers.

    Cat & Fiddle

    Look for Brit standards like proper breakfasts and pork pies on the menu at this open-air pub that's – not surprisingly – popular with expats. Surprises include the 'Blarnyschnitzel', which is made with chicken.
