Many people commented on my videos that I should not be calling tea "chai" - moving forward I will do my best and call it "tea with milk & sugar". In my language "tea" is also called "Chay (Çay)", and also I have been introduced to this type of drink in Pakistan where they call it "chai" as well. So using the word "chai" never meant to be disrespectful or ignorant behavior. Much love and respect! 🇱🇰 Api Yamu, Davud :)

Chai is an indian word. We are not calling like that. The people can't understand that.

@@shaans937 Thanks for the info brother. I thought “chai” is an indian/pakistani word.

@@emnd4540 nope chai is derived from Chinese word "Cha" and spread all over the continents later Persians started calling it Chai that is how it ended up in indian subcontinent.

Just a little tip bro. Don't leave your food unattended after eating only half way. Most of the time waiters or the people who work in the shop might think you are done eating and they will take it away and make the table ready for the next customer. :D

[@emnd4540]

Hi Davud, small correction. Here in Sri Lanka people don’t call “chai” for Tea with milk. We use “plain tea” (a cup of tea without milk) and “Milk Tea” or “Tea” (a cup of tea with milk). I think word “chai” is using in India and or Pakistan. Edit: And also you can’t find banana roti too. It is not a popular food in Sri Lanka.

[@exoticsnyc6990]

Just a heads up brother, the tea is that you drink there is pronounced “Tae” or “Tay”. The noodle looking things are call “Indy Aappa” A traditional Sri Lanka breakfast consists of “Kiri Both” or milk rice in english. Also there is “Pittu”. Which is also another steamed rice dish that looks like a cylinder after its cooked. Since you’re not too fond of spice lol, you can eat those with “Kiri Hodi” or Milk Gravy in english. I use to eat these with some regular milk and sugar also. Enjoy brother. If you need help, let me know.

Typical Sri Lankan breakfast would be : Milk rice or String hoppers or hoppers ( plain hoppers or egg hoppers) or coconut roti. Try to enjoy those as well. We eat rice and curry for Lunch. Better try curries such as; jack fruit, " polos" , cashew curry, fried brinjal curry, dhal curry and fish- " ambul thiyal" style.

[@kanthisarojani7894]

The food you were eating there Sri Lankan snacks. Rolls and vegetable roti. Rolls are made with fish or meat ( usually mutton). You were asking banana roti. I guess you were asking coconut roti and banana. Just ask separately. That lady was making string hoppers. ( Idiappa) . You can try string hoppers with dhal curry as you cannot eat spicy. Try Lavaria ( string hopper pancakes filled with coconut and honey mixture). Thanks for visiting our beautiful country.

Hello Davud, good man. You are promoting street foods in poor Sri Lanka where most people are rich in their hearts. The fish roll you ate is called Chinese roll 😄. The noodles kind of thing the lady in the kitchen was making is Stringhoppers. You should have eaten that with Coconut Sambol and darl curry which is devine, so may next time.
