SRI LANKAN FOOD TOUR: Trying Popular Sri Lankan Dishes In Colombo

[@ZoeandSimon]

We know it's a very hard situation right now in Sri Lanka and we want to do everything we can to support the locals 🇱🇰 We filmed this video a few weeks ago in February. We were unsure if we should post videos of our time in Sri Lanka, as we don't want to be ignorant of the fact that many people are struggling right now. But ultimately we decided to post our videos of Sri Lanka and hope that they can continue to show the beauty of this country during these tough times, especially because tourism is very important to the country.

What would you say was your favorite Sri Lankan food?

[@ZoeandSimon]

Hard to say! But we really like egg hoppers and spicy rice and curry. We also had many elawalu as a snack and of course banana chocolate roti for dessert 😁

If possible try travelling to northern and eastern provinces. You guys will definitely be surprised by the diversity in food, culture and climate compared to what you have seen so far.

[@utsab.sarkar_liveplatform]

Randomly found you. Loved your this food vlog along with your temple run vlog in Thailand showcasing Shiv, Vishnu and kali . Hi, Just asking Did you 2 somehow visit India ? At 0:20 The dish before Zoe is a typical Indian thali dish a big packege of main course meal for lunch ( like rice or bhat in local Indian language, lentils or dal or sambar, bread or rooti or chapati, papard or homemade chips, vegetables, and 2 pieces gulab jamun etc and many more.)

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thank you, glad you're enjoying our videos! 😊 Good eye, yes, we visited India in 2018 and it's one of our favourite countries to travel to (especially because of the food 😁). We don't have any videos on KZbin of that trip, but the shot in this video is from a Thali restaurant in Udaipur that we really loved.

Dear Zoe and Simon we all respect you as Sri Lankans... for choosing to spend your hard own money in this beautiful paradise still facing hardship due to the current economic crisis. As you can experience the economy can make some hardships but it can’t let down our hospitality of my people's kindness and friendliness’s. You are a true friend BCS friend in need is a friend in deed.. "Ayubowan" May you both bless with Long life..... #SriLankaYesYouCan

[@pattyk7132]

Wow it is much quieter than I thought in Sri Lanka. Id imagine I’d be like India. Nice food btw.

[@ZoeandSimon]

Thank you! Yes overall it's not as massive and chaotic as India can be in many parts. But we did find a lot of places that did remind us of India, especially because there's also a lot of Indian food in Sri Lanka 😊

[@ashanmendis8091]

this could be because of less population density Mumbai has more people than Sri Lanka

[@exon15]

It's also alot cleaner everywhere.

[@sankamadushan3343]

Come back srilanka ❤️🇱🇰

[@prcs4357]

6:26 I'm sure that's called "pattis", not elawalu. "Elawalu" translates to "Vegetables" in SL. Maybe you misunderstand what they said of the filling inside.

[@ZoeandSimon]

We were also confused, because on the menu it said Elawalu, but we only knew them as those filled Roti triangles 😁 So we're not sure if that was correct or not.

[@dimuthsadeesha9096]
