All I can say is WOAH!!! Sri Lankan food is so much more than I ever expected!
Sri Lankan food might take the cake for the most underrated and misunderstood cuisine. The food's incredible, and the vivid flavours you will taste are all a result of Sri Lanka's colourful history as a port for international trade in the olden-day Maritime Silk Route. Before ever trying Sri Lankan food, I had thought it would likely be much the same as Indian food. I'm sure I'm not the only one! Sure there are similarities, but there is so much more to unpack.
There are so many different spices, ingredients and cooking techniques used in Sri Lankan cuisine. You'll see influences from Indian, Chinese, Malaysian and Indonesian food, and even from the Persians, Dutch and Portuguese. Think stir-fries, curries, biryani, fried rice, and sambal.
In this video, we tried a Sri Lankan fried rice dish called 'thilak rice' with an incredible piece of devilled chicken, the national staple dish kothu roti, and string hoppers with lots of different curries (including chicken, mutton, fish and vegetarian curries).
Location: Lankan Railway Cafe, Mortdale
