Top 10 Sri Lanka Foods

[@FrugalTravellers]

Welcome to Sri Lanka, the home of delicious healthy food & unique fruit! Here are our 31 Sri Lanka videos in 1 playlist. We hope you enjoy this series & we look forward to reading your comments 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️: Sri Lanka Travel 🇱🇰: kzbin.info/aero/PLCmNbKU5iMrm1426S5ltprrISCZunP-BF

Sri Lankan food is actually a reflection of our multiculturalism. We've got dosa (pronounced here as thosa) and wadai from Tamil culture...biriyani and watalappam from the Moors...malay pickle from the Malays...lamprais and lovecake from the Dutch Burghers. And of course the traditional Sinhalese rice and curry is unmatchable. Fun fact, the "s" is silent and it's pronounced "lump-rye"! As a Dutch Burgher myself, "authentic" lamprais is a rarity now, my great-aunt is probably rolling in her grave for replacing the "frickadels" with "cutlets" 😂 but either way it's delicious!! Also, the secret ingredient that adds the tanginess to the achcharu is none other than - vinegar! We use a special type of Sri Lankan vinegar made of - you guessed it - fermented coconuts 😁😁

[@FrugalTravellers]

Wow 😳 This is awesome to get so much great, useful information from someone who really knows what they're talking about. I love the fact the multiculturalism comes out in the food. Such a wonderful variety on offer. Thanks so much for this. We really appreciate it. 🙏

[@minervarose7664]

@@FrugalTravellers not sure if you guys are dessert fans, but if yes, here are two traditional Sri Lankan desserts to look out for! First is "kiri pani" - buffalo curd with kithul treacle. Kithul is a type of palm tree and the syrup from it is delicious! It also has a lower glycemic index than regular cane sugar...but, many sellers will adulterate pure kithul treacle by mixing in cane sugar, which changes the unique texture and taste...so you gotta make sure it's the genuine thing! Also, curd made from buffalo milk is considered much better quality than cow's milk but it isn't always available. The second is watalappam, which is a kind of caramelized custard (??) lightly spiced with cloves, cardamoms and again - kithul treacle.

Thank you for posting this I enjoyed it and "liked" and "subscribed". My questions are fundamental. I'm renting a Tuk tuk so I have transportation covered. On an average traveler's budget for two people, how much did food and accommodations cost per day? I'll be there in Sept for a month. Many thanks in advance.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hi. Thanks for the question. I think we covered it in one of our videos but can't remember which now. We spent $US 11 per person per day over 7 weeks travelling there. Transport was a minimal cost on public transport. Hope this helps. 🙏👍 Have a great trip.

your channel was in my feed today and i clicked on nuwara eliya . bc sl is a tiny island therefore so many visitors capture more or less the same destinations and therefore it can get a little boring already knowing history etc . but i found your video the most interesting about nuwara eliya i have seen . i went up country twice and enjoyed it and sl very much . my top favourit foods are . hoppers with / without egg - any meat curries - bread - dhal & potato curries - sinisanbol is fried onions with maldive fish and what ever else in it not sure i have often wondered why vloggers dont number their videos 1 @arrival etc to departure bc people can see the videos from the start to last day . i shall watch your other sl vloggs soon

@@sweeta17 Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for your excellent question. First of all, we are so pleased you enjoyed our Nuwara Eliya video. I wasn't sure if people would like it as it was different to other travel vlogs from there, so it was most reassuring to receive such wonderful feedback. Secondly, your favourite foods sound delicious. Thank you for sharing them with us. Lastly, I just checked with Lee as to why we don't number our videos as I think it's a great idea. It's all to do with SEO, as if the first video shown by the algorithm to a new viewer is No.26 in a series, then the viewer is likely to think they're too far behind and lack the impetus to watch.

[@CD-ho4hm]

Hi, I’ve been following your vlogs of SL for while. The doughnut shape vadai is made up of Urad Dal beans. They soak it in water and grind it for the batter. Whereas the hard crispy vadai some times with a prawn in the centre is made of ordinary dal. Also, the green lumpy odd looking vegetable is known as bitter melon. Authentic Lumprice is hard to find. It was invented by the Dutch extract of Sri Lanka. You should be able to find a good Lumprice in somewhere in Colombo, next time. Unfortunately, I’ve been living in Australia about 3 decades now, so unable to recommend a place. However, I’m glad you liked my beautiful island. Take Care!!! 😊

Hoppers - Yes, it is a fermented RICE flour batter. Origin (‘Appam’ from south India) what differs is the condiments and flavours. Lamprais - few places do this the original way. However it was a Dutch influence on Sri Lankan cuisine. They brought influences from Malaysia/Indonesia. Achcharu - The zing is from coconut vinegar.

Hi. Your reviews are great. ❤ but actually Lump rice origins are different . May be its from Thailand or somewhere . Dosa is South Indian as you have mentioned . But others are on point.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thanks so much for this. 🙏. Somebody else said the lamprice has Dutch origins which sounds interesting. I'll have to do some more research! 😊👍

Hello Mandy and Lee! Sri Lankan food looks so wonderful! I may be able to survive the heat as long as i have a healthy dose of ice cream, smoothies, and coconut water. 😊. I wonder if you had any gastronomical issues while there. We americans have sensitive digestive systems. Except for microplastics. We seem to be okay with that! 😆. Take care and I'm very happy to see you both looking so healthy!! 🤗🐕

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thanks so much mydogsmells. This really made us smile. We're glad to say that we had no stomach issues at all in the 7 weeks we spent in Sri Lanka. 🙏. I'm sure if you Americans can stomach squirty cheese and pop tarts you can eat anything. 😆😆👍

Correct hoppers made from rice flour. But string hoppers can be made by using both rice and wheat flour.

[@FrugalTravellers]

Thanks for this clarification. Much appreciated 🙏😋🙏

[@barbaras5874]

Mandy and Lee, I am thinking of going to Sri Lanka but struggling to make the decision. One of my anxieties is dogs and there are so many there. Did you find it difficult to handle the street dogs and were they at times aggressive?

[@FrugalTravellers]

Hello Barbara. I've thought back, and I'm pretty sure that the only aggressive dogs we've encountered in the past year were in one village hiking up to the rice terraces in Banaue, the Philippines. If you have a fear of dogs, the Maldives would be good for you as they're illegal here 😳🥹 ~ Mandy

[@barbaras5874]

@@FrugalTravellers thank you so much Mandy. I had no idea about the Maldives, sounds like a very nice place to travel! I have always felt uneasy around street dogs. My partner really wants to go to Sri Lanka but I am finding myself feeling very anxious and unable to decide. There seems too much I am worried about to enjoy it fully unfortunately. Although it looks like a beautiful country from your videos. I feel like it's maybe a bit too much for me at the moment. Do you ever feel a lot of anxiety about a trip? You both always seem so calm and positive!

There is a You Tuber called "Half Russian" who went to Sri Lanka with similar fears. He ended up living there for 6 months & according to him the country cured him of his phobia in regards to dogs.
