    Oh, man visited this beautiful Island a few times, mouth-watering food, never forget Ambul Tiyal Fish Curry and Pork curry in Negombo, one of the best I ever had in my life. Very welcoming smiling people of Sri Lanka.

    I had the privilege of knowing a Sri Lankan years ago growing up. His wife fixed us some 🇱🇰 food and I agree Luke, 🇱🇰 food is some of the most best food you'll eat in the world. Kinda underrated in my book. People should really try 🇱🇰 food.

    HI, Love to see these comments. Actually, you should come now to visit Sri Lanka now, it's a beautiful country with Good Food. If you need any places to visit I can recommend the best place. Some streets are full of food at night so it will be a very nice and tasty experience, no doubt.

    I don't think that there are many Srilankans like you. These are very commonly used exotic cuisines in Srilanka. but there is a very small fraction of people who grew up with western culture in their heads without seeing the values of their own motherland.
