First Time Trying SRI LANKAN FOOD 🇱🇰 in Melbourne | Amazing LAMPRAIS, EGG HOPPERS, KOTTU ROTI

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Have you tried Sri Lankan food before? If you have, what's your favourite Sri Lankan dish? We absolutely love the lamprais and egg hoppers, definitely a must-have! 😍

[@PuriandSue]

Not yet! But we would love to try!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

@@PuriandSue hope you guys can find Sri Lankan food in KL 😊

[@lostgirl2798]

You should check out Sri lankan rice and curry. There is lots of currys in Sri lanka....

[@jayf4005]

Sorry guys what you had was nothing close to a authentic Lamprais.. That’s a sorry excuse of a massive rice and curry pack wrapped in a banana leaf.. Surprising you couldn’t find real Lamprais with a well established Dutch Burgher community in Melbourne

[@TwoHungryDiners]

@@jayf4005 it’s not that we couldn’t find it. We need to explore more restaurants. As the title suggests, this is our first time trying Sri Lankan food. There are many more Sri Lankan restaurants to discover in Melbourne. In this video we have only visited three restaurants in Glen Waverley. In Melbourne there are hundreds of suburbs, it will take time to find and ask around what you call an authentic lamprais. If you know what an authentic one should look like, and have a place selling it here in Melbourne, please let us know 😊

[@lindyralph8792]

Yuum! My partner is Sri Lankan, yesterday we went to his brother's place and had stringhoppers, chicken curry and mackeral curry with homemade pol sambol and also seeni sambol which is the onion one. Hoppers are my favourite, especially with a curry such as black pork curry, SO good. One of my other favourites is the eggplant that Peter loved, my mother-in-law used to make a really good one. There are some places on Centre Road Clayton that you could try in the future, one is a grocer that sells ready to eat food as well called Cakepoint, you can get stringhoppers as well as hot food like pan rolls to take away. There are also a couple of small Sri Lankan restaurants in the same strip.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We need to try Sri Lankan curry next time! Oh yes we had the seeni sambol too in the lamprais. How good is that eggplant dish 😍 We’ll check out Centre Rd In Clayton one day. Thanks for the suggestion ❤️

Hi

[@nickandhelmi]

We love Sri Lankan food, so underrated seriously. Glad you guys enjoy it too😋

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Agree that it is so underrated. We need try more dishes in the future. 🤤

Kottu Roti is the best💯 I can eat that everyday, seriously soooo good🤤

Discovered Kottu a couple of years ago through a Sri Lankan friend and it's become one of my go to comfort foods; it's an incredibly underappreciated dish.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

the amount of kottu roti is huge!! ohhh lamprais! looks incredible... this episode really brings us back to our Sri Lanka trip memory... 😄

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Your Sri Lankan series is super cool! Would love to go for a Sri Lankan adventure one day 😍

[@pandaexpress1319]

Great video guys. Sri Lankan food is underrated in my opinion and definitely deserves more attention. My favourite is kottu! :) By the way, hoppers are usually served for dinner in Sri Lankan restaurants both in Sri Lanka and overseas.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for watching! Ah I see! That’s what we read from online articles too, no wonder most of the restaurants serve it during dinner time here. The egg hoppers are so perfect for breakfast though! 😆

[@happywo526]

As a sri lankan i fall in love with koththu. ❤️

[@prashanigperera2513]

Thank you very much for trying Sri Lankan food, my beautiful native country. Sri Lanka is home to many religions, ethnic groups, and languages. In addition to the majority Sinhalese, it is home to large groups of Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils, Moors, Burghers, Malays, and the aboriginal Vedda. Being colonized by three different cultures has influenced the culture of Sri Lanka to the point that all three are still present in the country today to a certain extent. I welcome you to my motherland Sri Lanka , Taprobane, or the famous "Pearl of the Indian Ocean" to explore more about our habits of generosity, kindness, food , culture and Hospitality 🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment and for watching our video 😊 We wish we can visit Sri Lanka one day and experience the richness of culture of Sri Lanka ❤️

[@prashanigperera2513]

@@TwoHungryDiners Definitely. You will not be disappointed by the generosity, hospitality, and food my people will offer you. You'll find that Sri Lankans are very hospitable and take pride in inviting people to their homes also. Welcome!

[@aaxbii]

dont forget bout tamils not indian tamils

[@prashanigperera2513]

Read properly. Have mentioned as Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils. And why you wanna drah the racism bro..JUst enjoy the food

coconut sambol! yum!! we love stringhoppers! and coconut roti !! coconut is love 🥥😍🥥😍🥥

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yes coconut is love ❤️🥥

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

We've never tried Sri Lankan food. I don't know that is available here in Chicago. The coconut gravy and sambal sound amazing, loving all the colors on these dishes. The deviled chicken looks intense. Glad to know it's not as spicy. 🥵

[@tetill8207]

yep.no known SL restuarant in Chi town.. but there are eazy SL recipes on youtube you can try your own.😊

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hope you can find a good Sri Lankan restaurant one day in Chicago. We really love it!! Definitely one of the underrated cuisines in the world 😍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! Yes, we always try to feature local delicacies and small businesses as much as possible. Glad you enjoyed the video!

oh what a coincidence! yesterday, we had some Srilankan dish ! it was so gooood! let's see if there any food we had! 😄

[@TwoHungryDiners]

That’s nice! ☺️ what did you have?

[@dnnbuddy]

You should also try "Lunu Miris" with hoppers. There are hundreds of curry combinations available for String Hoppers. Also, String Hopper Koththu, Bread Koththu, Dolphin Koththu, Cheese Koththu 😄 are some popular variants. And all of them are so delicious 🔥🍴👌. Thank you for trying Sri Lankan Food. 😍😍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hope we can try you suggestions next time we have Sri Lankan food. Thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@RudyVisuals]

I don't know much about Sri Lankan food so this was a very interesting video to watch! I really want to try some of these dishes now. The string hoppers and the devilled chicken look delicious 😋

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You will like the devilled chicken, we think! Hope you can find good Sri Lanka food in the UK 🙂

[@dreaminnasmr5782]

Thank you for trying Sri Lankan food and making such a detail description, great job!!! New sub here🥰

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! ❤️

[@thisarumenake7385]

Thank you both of you bringing Sri Lankan food out to world. There are some unique Sri Lankan foods you can try of. They are mostly mains and curries not fast foods. We welcome you to Sri Lanka and try ❤

[@PuriandSue]

That lamprais plate is loaded with so much goodies! Looks delish!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You guys would love that lamprais! Packed with so much flavours 😍

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

stringhoppers look very unique. im glad someone came out and told you how to eat it. I would of messed that up 😅😅

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Definitely a unique Sri Lankan dish to try 😃

[@PuriandSue]

Wow you guys tried so many dishes! Must be hard to choose haha! The stringhoppers is definitely very interesting, with so many things to go along. Good to have someone to explain how to eat it, I'd probably do it wrongly haha!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

We had to stick to 8 dishes only in this video even though we wanted to try everything 😅, otherwise we would blow out the budget 😆 You’re right, the stringhoppers is good to pair with any dish, especially curry that we didn’t get 🥲 Next time we should order some Sri Lankan curries!

[@nishanthakumara9838]

Come srilanka i am srilanka boy

[@SantosChronicles]

It is so great to see you out and about!! Good to see you guys are no longer on lockdown. Sri Lankan food looks so good. Watching your videos early Sunday morning always makes me so hungry. I would be so lost on how to eat this. Good thing we have your videos to show us. That deep fried chicken is totally something I would really like!!! Holy cow the portion is huge!!! We have spent a lot of time eating at random parks during this weird time.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha hope you had some delicious food after watching thia video 😃 We were lost a bit on how to eat the food especially the stringhoppers, glad the owner came to explain to us. Looks like eating at random park is still a trend for take out food, especially we’re approaching summer now 😄

[@shashawol]

I love the sweet Hoppers 😍and wow that Kottu Roti sounds delicious! Because of the way the roti is broken up, it looks so similar to nasi/mee goreng :O

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha yup the kottu roti reminds us of the nasi or mee goreng, maybe the closest one is the flat rice one like char kway teow 😄 I agree, I think we enjoy more of the sweet hoppers than the savoury ones!

[@shashawol]

@@TwoHungryDiners Oh yeah that would make sense because of the cut roti shapes! 😄 Yum!

[@1tan_freed0m]

Thanks for trying the food. 😀 For those who haven't you should try it. Love from Sri Lanka 🔥❤️🇱🇰

Spicy flames are really good for quality by even Sri Lankan standards. Their Lamprais was the best I had in a very long time, usually restaurants don’t put that much effort into their lamprais.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah that’s good to know that we picked a good quality restaurant to share with our viewers. Agree!! That lamprais is divine! 😍😍

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

Never seen roti like this. That's a ton of food. That chicken dish has our name on it too. Those hoppers look so fun! We'll eat anything made with coconut milk. :-)

[@TwoHungryDiners]

The coconut rotti is such a unique take on rotti. We’re used to eating Indian roti and this one is definitely different but so tasty! Reminds us of arepa haha 😆

[@ashanmendis8091]

Juggary is Syrup of the kithul tree and not from sugar cane if done right

[@PeterandYen]

Really like all the different kinds of Rotti in the world and that coconut rotti looks so different. The texture and shape especially looks interesting. Mmmmm that devilled chicken. We only tried Kottu roti recently too, such a yummy dish and yet another variation of Rotti hahahaha. Rotti #1

[@TwoHungryDiners]

That’s good to hear you enjoy your kottu roti. The coconut rotti is different that what we originally imagined, but we love it! Haha yes rotti is love ❤️

[@MapPinTravel]

Nice to see you guys in Srilankan restaurant in Melbourne. yes you are correct 13.55 . normally we are eating Hoppers for dinner , breakfast or with evening Tea. 💓💓

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks for confirming and watching this video. We love hoppers❤

[@ChandySaoStreeteats]

Wow the lamprais looked massive. I would struggle to finish that!!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Haha at least we eat 2 times from a plate of that lamprais for the both of us. So affordable!

[@RudyVisuals]

I'm bet the Wattalappan is delicious but I'm not too sure about the wine glass presentation 😅 it looked so much better once you laid it out on the plate

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Hahaha that's what exactly we thought. The wine glass presentation seems to be a bit weird 😬

[@DoNotDial09]

We call the onion thing u got with coconut roti is "lunu miris" and u have to kind of mix the string hoppers the gravy and the pol sambol together with your hand. And jagery is made of honey take from a tree called "kithul" I dunno about their in australia though. And 12:26 It's a "kunisso sambol" which is made of coconut and a small shrimp called "kunisso". And the other one is brinjal moju. One of most common dishes which we all crave for😍

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for the information you shared! 😊

[@sithuu5160]

Love from srilanka ❤❤❤❤❤🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

[@DriftZone__sl]

Awesome vid guys Love from sri Lanka🇱🇰 💗

[@hperera9029]

There are different variants of hoppers as well! We have honey hoppers and milk hoppers which are also great sweet hoppers and tastes super yum too! And the plain hoppers are heavenly with seeni sambol (caramalized onions). And the string hoppers are usually really good with some spicy curries too with pol sambol and seeni sambol. You guys should also try the Sri Lankan biscuit pudding for dessert as that’s really good too.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge! We will try more type of hoppers next time and also the biscuit pudding. 😀

Whoa that's a lot of food! I'm glad you got to try some good Sri Lankan food! I want to try the devilled chicken, looks like something I would love! Good portion for that koti rotti! Ooh hoppers, looks interesting! This will definitely fill my palette with all kinds of flavor hehe.. good episode guys!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

You gotta try Sri Lankan food if you can find it! It’s still under rated imho compared to other asian cuisine but the taste is unbelievable! Yes the devilled chicken is the bomb, so addictive! 🤤

[@ssboooy4153]

Best way to eat string hoppers is lay them on a plate, and assemble your curries and sambals around. Mix them together

Guys i think you are eating these dishes wrong, string hoppers are meant to be dipped very well in kiri hodi and add some pol sambal with maybe some chicken or fish with the gravy...then you mix very well with hands and eat its a total different experience

[@deeveer1539]

Thank you for trying the sri lankan food ❤

[@TwoHungryDiners]

To make 3 hoppers they have to fire up 3 cookers, that’s why it’s only available at night where they get more orders.

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Ah good to know! Thanks for watching 😊

[@lostgirl2798]

For string hoppers there is lots of currys go with it. Specially dal curry. And the lunu miris goes best with Hoppers more than coconut samble....

For the pol rotti if it's hot, it's delicious with butter. But for SriLankan food if you see anything free standing mix it with curry and it'll be much tastier.

Jaggery is not from Cane sugar. It's made from coconut sap. 🙂

[@dilakshanathanaplana3906]

Yeah string hopper are in the evening dinner at 6pm oh 7pm night

[@asankawlk]

In terms of Spices there are common spices used across South Asia like chillies and cardomoms. But about the spices you possibly could have smelled/tasted in Watalappam is Cinnamon. Which is the truest form of (Ceylon) Cinnamon so technically not a Indian Spice but a Sri Lankan spice. And looking at the Lamprais dish, that sambol might not be a coconut sambol instead a "kunisso" sambol, which is made out of dried little, tiny bitsy shrimps. I'm just guessing.

[@nushiskitchen]

Cheers!

[@doitsavemoney]

Huge amount of kutto roti and the pol rotti seems good! I am not fond of Sri Lanka dish but they are slightly same as Indian cuisine,I guess.! Enjoy ur meal watching from kuwait Janice 💖💜
