More Than Just Rice & Curry
If you think Sri Lankan food is just rice and curry, you haven’t eaten your way through this island properly.
The flavors here are next level. Fresh seafood, fire-roasted spices, and dishes so full of flavor they’ll ruin bland food for you forever.
Here’s what you need to try:
🥥 Hoppers – Crispy-edged, coconut-infused pancakes that cradle an egg like a piece of art. Best eaten with spicy sambols.
🌶 Kottu Roti – A personal favourite . . . its the ultimate street food. Chopped-up roti, sizzling on a hot plate with chicken, veggies, and spices, all mixed together in a rhythm you can hear before you even see it.
🐟 Fresh-off-the-boat seafood – Grilled, curried, or cooked however you like it. No frozen fillets here—just today’s catch, served with a side of ocean breeze. As seafood smorgasbord awaits!
🍛 Rice & curry, but done right – Not just one curry. Five or six, all different, all fresh, all made to be mixed together for a bite that hits sweet, sour, spicy, and umami all at once.
☕ Tea that actually tastes like something – Sri Lanka’s tea country produces some of the best in the world. You’ll never look at a supermarket tea bag the same way again.
And if you’re worried about missing your home comforts—Sri Lanka’s got you covered. Great coffee? Check. International cuisine? Everywhere. Gluten-free, vegan, organic? No problem.
And did I mention the fruit? Mango, guava, bananas, passionfruit, watermelon, oranges, the list is endless. This is food Sri Lankan style.
Come Sri Lanka with me.
