About Sri Lankan Food
I am pretty sure that the best meals in the whole world are from Pakistan and specially from Karachi. If you are used to of Pakistani food, it would be much difficult for you to accept any other food. So what about Sri Lankan food? I won’t say it is similar to Pakistani food, although in some respects, it is. Sri Lankan food is more spicy, less oily, roti less food. Whatever food you order at a restaurant, there must be some bowls of chutneys along with the main course.

Rice is must in lunch. By the way, their rice is also different and it is not like the Basmati one that we use in Biryani. By the way, Basmati Rice is available in super-markets but it is really expensive.

They can make all types of meat but chicken and fish is more common. At most of the places, the meat is halal as most of the butchery business is being run by muslims but it is always recommended to ask before ordering any meal.

The best thing that they make is lentils (daal). Be it any kind of daal, you ll find it according to your taste buds. Their masalas are much better in aroma and in taste and in fact cheaper than Pakistan as well.

The best Sri Lankan food to try is String Hoppers. String hoppers are like namkeen sawayyan that is taken with a curry just like we took roti. Than there is another item to try known as only hoppers. Hoppers are slightly crispy papar like stuff shaped in the form of bowl and have something at base. Most common is the egg hopper where a fried egg could be found at the base of hopper bowl. You have to eat an egg along with its bowl. Hoppers are available in other flavors as well like fish, chicken, spicy, vegetable etc.
