Sri Lanka has gotten bit expensive with the financial crisis when compared to neighboring countries like India, but still cheaper when compared to other world counterparts, travelling, always try for tuk tuk or uber, or rent vehicles, normal tuk tuks are scams
Thank you so much nice video ❤I'm from Sri Lanka
Recipes are different from region to region..as well as to communities to communities..their spice mixture different..Coconut oil is basically used by Sinhalese but never used ghee and gingelly oil ..But Tamils used ghee and gingelly..Dosa , parat, and wade are basiclly Tamil recipes...Hoppers , kiribath (milk rice) strinhopprs, are of Sinhalese..kottu , biriyni are basically of Mulslims...of course one can not make lines of theeals..We have varity of tasty meals...of course sothern province recipes are treated tasitest.....you can experianced the differenc if you eat three consecutive days Matara, Jaffna, and Baticaloa...ie north, south, east....of course colombo is pickel..😊..The way of eating is also different.eg.Green gram is eaten by southern people with greated coconut and lunumiris (chille sambol, where as Jafna peopl eat green gram with either jugaary or sugar)
The majority of Negombo's population are Catholics, a legacy of Portuguese colonial influence. Fun fact: Negombo is often called "Little Rome" because of its significant Catholic population and the numerous churches in this predominantly Buddhist country. The St. Sebastian Church you visited on Sea Street is architecturally inspired by the Reims Cathedral in France and is built in the Gothic Revival style. Saint Sebastian is the patron saint of Negombo.

Sri Lankan pan cake, milkrice with fish curry,
I love your accent .where are you from ❤?
lovely content guys. enjoy and thanks for visiting Sri Lanka. take care
Great... Thanks guys
I see more of your faces than I see the food! Is that not the point, to show us the food, but your focus is on entirely on yourself! You are just not good at making videos. unsubscribed.
I hope you get an invitation from a srilankan family for lunch and dinner
Be careful not to go to an Arab country other than the Gulf because it will be scary and unsafe like the countries in Africa, Syria and Iraq.
Tick these in your bucket list Ambul thiyal Milk rice Sri lankan sweets- kokis, Thala kerali Kirala juice Palm fruit

When too Jaffna?
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!! 🤗🐕
There are tamil people in srilanka so obviously the food is similar
Most complete food introductioned video for foreigners on the internet. Great work.
❤
Thank you so much 🤗🥰🙏

Thank you for your comment.
That is some epic street food! Chiang Mai's on my bucket list for long-term travel in the future for early retirement and I cannot wait.
Well I can safely say you'll be in food heaven there. You're going to love that early retirement! Enjoy 😋😊
Wonderful! Yes I recall very well having high tea at the Grand Hotel. I recall the wall with all the teas shown at 7:00 and 15:15. It brings back such wonderful memories. Such a beautiful and unexpected place in Sri Lanka. It was a unique experience but thought the high tea portions were a bit small for me. I am a glutton after all. 😂 BTW-the best scones I ever had were in New Zealand. 🇳🇿
That's great that you had such a pleasant experience there also. 😊 It certainly is unique and really enjoyable to do. I thought that the portions were rather small too but we'd just eaten a large, late lunch so were still very satisfied. It's all about the ambience of such a historic place. Yay for NZ scones 😋😋. Now we're feeling homesick. 😆

Thank you 🙏 Sending the love ♥️♥️

What is the exact location in jeddah
Hello! That's a great question. It's around the corner from the excellent Indian restaurant we ate at a few times.
Are you still in Sri lanka? As at 25/May?
No, we were in Sri Lanka in June-July last year, then had to return to Australia for surgery after I was diagnosed with breast cancer at Asiri Hospital Kandy. ~ Mandy
@@FrugalTravellers Oh!. That's very sad news to hear!. Hope you have done your procedures and on the road to recovery. God bless you 🙏 ❤️. Hope to see both of you again in Sri Lanka. Take care.
