The diversity and quality of food in Australia is superb! So many diverse flavours and cultures at one’s fingertips. And no place in Australia has such abundance of cuisine than in Melbourne. On this day of exploring, I thought I’d visit some of the local family owned eateries that make up the vibrant authentic food scene here.

I’m happy to have found a restaurant focusing on traditional authentic Sri Lankan cuisine! …and it gets better because we can sample and try a variety of dishes because this is a buffet! It is a little away from Melbourne Central so first, we’ll make a stop for just a light snack, and I have the perfect place for it. A while ago I passed by a Wang’s Crispy Pancake where they offer thin pancakes stuffed with meats and other fillings cooked in a tandoor style oven made to order. I just couldn’t resist a thin and crispy meaty snack.

Next on the stop is Serendib, a small neighbourhood restaurant hoping to bring Sri Lankan cuisine to Australia hoping to showcase this cuisine and for all to experience the unique flavors of the beautiful island and country of Sri Lanka. And their pride and detail to the Sri Lankan cuisine shows. Traditional foods of meats and gravies and curries are found throughout the restaurant along with live stations making fresh hoppers! Plain hoppers and egg hoppers with crispy thin edges and light spongy centers used to soak up the wonderful flavours and sauces from the buffet offerings. From hearty family style meals to the kuttu street food you’d find in Columbo, it’s a great way to explore and taste the diversity and variety of the Sri Lankan cuisine. Just a few tips, make sure to stop at the condiment station where you’ll find the best caramelize onions and chutneys to go on your plate, be kind to LSD (the cook making the hoppers) as he’ll keep you plate stocked, and don’t be afraid to eat with your hands.
