🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

I’m a Sri Lankan Tamil, but I live and was born in Australia as my family fled the war, I’ve only ever known Jaffna from stories and despite visiting the country I have never been there. This video helped me experience some of my culture and is a rare experience to those who haven’t before to see into the Tamil people and their cuisine.
Maybe it's time to go back and be with your people?
@@1neAdam12 Australia is safe, and I’ve been here my whole life, as much as I love my ancestral culture Australia is the place I know.
@@Hexagonius-js8tl
Problem with that thinking is now your people are becoming a majority and are changing the fabric of the society my people have built from nothing.
Indians didn't like when it happened to them, and they fought like anything to kick them out.
See how there's some conflict of interest here now?
@@1neAdam12 I feel different as we can live in peace it’s not like we doing anything bad, just adding to the multiculturalism, a nation can’t be preferential towards one group of people, I think Sri Lanka proves that
@@Hexagonius-js8tl
But what if you were being outnumbered in the country your ancestors founded, built and died for? Say,, If India were being forced to accept endless immigration from Africa, Asia, China, Europe, America and Australia, to the point you were quickly becoming a minority, how would you feel then?
Sri Lankan here. Its not often you see content about areas like Jaffna. As someone from the south west of Sri Lanka, you find that everyone knows what kind of place Jaffna is, but barely anyone ever visits, just because its such a long distance to travel by car or train. Domestic flights are unheard of on an island like ours. Its great to finally see Jaffna getting some attention. They have such a unique culture, compared to the more developed areas of Sri Lanka. Colombo is becoming quite westernized. You'd mostly find international cuisine in these areas. Tourism is indeed at an all time low, after taking hit after hit, from organized terrorist bombings across the country, to Covid, to a massive economical collapse, its a surprise its still standing as tall as it is right now. But I believe we are on our way back. Unfortunately we the people are at the mercy of incapable, uneducated, corrupt political leaders, who care about nothing but their wallets. I can only pray this country finds its way through this crisis, as it has many times before.
Really great to see an influencer showcasing our Tamil cuisine and culture!
yes makes me hungry for more 🍚🍜🥣🥣
Awan kozhli curry onnum saappidille😂
Food is culture.
Mmmm I love Tamil food!!! 😋
Yeah we love Tamil cousin tooo 😋😋😋 love from western province ❤
Being an Indian Tamil. I would love to visit Jaffna someday to see the authentic Tamil culture of my bros and sisters. 😊
Me too 🥰
Me too, been Colombo few times but never been jaffna.
I've been there.
Jaffna tamils are Aboriginal sri-lankan TAMILS we have been on Jaffna from time immemorial.
@@lathent1438 in Tamilnadu too
Being a Tamil born in Australia and never having lived in SL, I hope to find out more about my heritage and country.
Tamils value their own culture and language more than Indian culture; this is a problem.
Some Tamils are even go as far as to say that their language is as old and sacred as even Sanskrit; Tamils needs to stop this and integrate in to the Indian culture just like everybody else.
@@Krishnahgg India is a union of states and similarly it is a union of different languages and cultures. This alone is the beauty of India. If all cultures integrate, this quality is lost.
The love Tamils have for their language has always fascinated me and I wish other cultures in India did the same.
@@Krishnahgg He is a Tamil from Sri Lankan descent. Tamils living in Sri lanka since the Tamil kingdoms began, more than 2000 years ago.
@@mannyk2755 It's all fake.. Tamils never had kingdoms.
@@Krishnahgg Ok… An old saying says don’t argue with an idiot!
I’m so mesmerized by the culture, the food, and the kindness of the people. I truly hope the leaders of the country can make it more accessible for tourists once again. This would be a life altering experience
They are not kind people their army killed and raped tamil people in their own country itself that's the one of the biggest Holocaust in history
Jaffna is where I was born and living before coming to Canada. I haven't gone back since my family fled the country due to the war, and this video is special to me. A big thanks to Sonny and team for bringing my country back into the spotlight! 💚
So u r saying that your Family fled srilanka when Tamil tigers are fighting for ur rights and dying in the process. I respect Prabhakaran, he is a real Tamil tiger
@@Arunb15 Prabhakaran infringed the rights of Tamils more than Sri Lankan government.
He raped Tamil women, kidnapped underaged teens, imprisoned people who were against him, didn't even hold an election in the north.
Prabhakaran and his son were captured and killed by the Sri Lankan forces when they were fleeing from the war betraying his own people.
Even one of the most brutal people, H*tler suicide instead of fleeing like a coward like Prabhakaran.
@@Arunb15 Some fled because they wanted to go where they can have a safe and build a better life. Others because there was fear of persecution. SL forces especially target Tamil young men to create a climate of fear and insecurity. A million Tamils have left the Tamil nation(North and East) since independence in 1948. No where else in SL that many.
@@Arunb15 Then why did he kill his own people? 💀
@@Arunb15 I was living in an area that was getting bombed and shelled by the army. I think anyone in that situation would want to flee.
I love how Sonny’s team do their homework in having the best background music which represents the country they are visiting.. These simple things for us, makes your productions even more beautiful…
Kudos to your team too 🎉🎉
Perhaps they should learn the difference between squid and cuttlefish as well
so how is punjabi dhol representative of sri lanka?
There is viking music while they in temple. @pramodmohanan635 did you get paid by sunny or did you stand under coconut tree
I'm from Sri lanka and I have been to Jaffna but I have never seen the lump tradition.
We don't have any war here and the fuel problems are not there anymore.
I request humbly from people around the world to visit Sri Lanka to experience our hospitality and lend us a hand to get back on track.
Much love from Sri Lanka ❤️
... thank the Indians for lending you money to solve ur economic crisis
Have full reconciliation for those Tamils who were forced to flee the war, and for Tamil families who lost loved ones, homes, businesses and properties to the genocidal Sri Lankan Sinhalese Armed Forces, and their Puppet Master Sinhalese Governments throughout the decades of conflict.
Hold the entire Rajapaksa family and their cronies accountable for the deaths of innocent Sri Lankan Tamil civilians, and treat them all as the War Criminals they are, by letting the Hague mete out the justice and punishment they deserve.
Restore all properties and businesses to their rightful Tamil owners/survivors/successors, and compensate them with sufficient funds to allow them to establish themselves once more.
Declare Tamil as an Official Language, have proportionate representation for Tamils in Parliament to start with, have free and fair elections and press, and allow Tamils to progress to hold key positions in both the military and the government.
Allow Tamil to be taught in all schools, and treat all Tamil and Sinhalese students equally. Rebuild all previously predominantly Tamil areas, and demilitarise those same areas. Remove the shield of immunity from prosecution from ALL Sri Lankan government, military and police officials.
And, finally, declare that all Sri Lankan Tamils are equal citizens in ALL respects, and are entitled to ALL rights, opportunities and responsibilities as their Sinhalese compatriots.
Then, and ONLY then, will Sri Lanka know a lasting and prosperous peace.
Otherwise, let Tamils have their Eezham, and leave them to live their lives in peace!
@@temperatechimp ....as an Indian i can assure that the singala will never do that, it's not in their nature, maybe some singala are kind , but they are the exception to the rule, Karma is something they will have to face.
@@universeofopulence, the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora, along with the traumatised survivors, cannot wait for Karmic Justice, for it will take far longer than they will be alive.
No, these things must be accomplished well within their lifetimes, or else all the injustices and atrocities against them will be forgotten, buried and suppressed at every opportunity by each successive Sinhalese government.
@@temperatechimp ... that is under idealised condition, but the powers that be are drunk on total control and their society at large is corrupt , only the almighty can do something.
I met a Sri Lankan Tamil family on my Europe trip. I knew about the history of the Tamil-Sinhala conflict, but as I met Sri Lankan Tamils for the first time in my life, I started digging deep into the history of the people on the island. You did a very nice job pointing out the difference between the *Sri Lankan Tamils (Eelam Tamils/Ceylon Tamils/Jaffna Tamils)* as compared to the *Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka (Hill Country Tamils)* who came to the island and were brought by the British. Sri Lankan Tamils are the actual natives of the island, while the Indian Tamils came from Tamil Nadu. Yes they have a common ancestor, but they came from different time periods to the island.
Are you not forgetting the Sinhala people in that mix? They were the original people, even the Northern Tamils did not immigrate into this island nation before second century BC, and that land actually already were inhabited. The old capitol of the Sinhala nation and the royal court too for instance were located in Anuradhapura, until the Tamils begun immigrating into the north of the island, forcing the Sinhala to move the capitol first to Kandy and now Colombo.

@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv I'm sorry, I don't know much into Sri Lankan history, but I do know that Ashoka's son Mahinda spread Buddhism to Sri Lanka, along with Tamils also having an ancient history as well.
Loved this series! Hearing her talk about the resilience of her people and coming back from so many struggles is so beautiful and inspirational. Sri Lanka truly does seem like a magical place.
Its a Shithole
Well that can apply to countless countries. Nothing unique about that. However, I do think Sri Lanka is a beautiful country nature wise.
@LIndsayCordova I agree. Something sounded so genuine and hopeful about how she was saying it. I had a good friend that grew up during the civil war there. He had a very similar intensity in his love for Sri Lanka and hope for its future
it is indeed a magical place.
The neck lump thing I can explain. It's because the devotees in that temple carrying the statue are all Brahmins from the same family and caste and they just have a genetic disease that causes neck lumps in older male adults. Because Brahmins often intermarry extended family together it becomes very distinct.
This is why I love this guy. He always respect culture and he doesn't care about hygiene or cleanliness. I love watching him with my family we sometimes watch him:)
He does care but still respect
me too bro... 👍🏼👍🏼🫶🫶❤️❤️❤️
Illusion of hygiene*
This guy, he will eat anything you show him
he does tho
I’m a Sri Lankan but I have never been to Jaffna. Love to visit there and enjoy their delicious food. ❤
Beautiful Sri Lanka ❤

Another awesome video. Thank you.
Hats off to this wonderful Srilankan lady who has been nothing short of a cultural ambassador for her beautiful country. Her deep love for country can be felt in every word that she utters about Srilanka.
I wish all the very best to Srilankans for a quick recovery from the current crisis.

very underrrated comment. she is probably doing so much for tourism with helping this series its hard to measure.
What a spectacular finale to a spectacular series from our beautiful island Sri Lanka!😍🇱🇰A very big THANK YOU and forever grateful to Sonny and the BEST EVER FOOD REVIEW SHOW team for flying down at this crucial time and promoting the beauty of our island as it is imperative for tourism. Jaffna has been hidden and affected the most due to the civil war that was going on for almost 30 years. The citizens of Jaffna are very private and simple, but the city and cuisine are so colourful and bustling with flavours. This is the first time Jaffna has ever been featured this way on social media and RUclips to reach such a global audience. Especially this festival. In fact, even quite a few Sri Lankans have little to no clue about this festival, which is the longest festival procession on the island. There is beauty and amazing food in every corner of this island, may it be North, South, East, or West.
Please visit Sri Lanka on your next holiday. Our magical island with absolutely divine cuisine awaits you. 🙏🏽❤️🇱🇰
You were absolutely spot on in what you said.
We are a resilient nation. However, our extremely clever politicians keep on bringing us back to the rut.
@@TruthSeekerUK9 Thank you so much. I just wish everyone could one day see through the dirty politics and we unite as one nation and go forward.. because what we can achieve together is endless. 🙏🏽🇱🇰❤️
Thank you for an amazing series of videos! You were a great co-host, both in your sense of humour and hospitality, and in your ability to show the positives of Sri Lanka even in the midst of such trying times for the country!
@@RuzainaHadgie You are a beacon of light in a perpetually dark place. I left SL 2 decades ago and now looking to come back. I remember witnessing the positivity in you even when Mark Wiens visited SL. As you rightly said Sri Lanka does not need any miracles. The tiny island itself is a miracle. I grew up in Kandy before moving to Colombo. I was blessed to have friends who are Muslim, Tamil, Burgher, Christian, Catholic, Malay etc. The beauty of it all is that all Sri Lankans love the country dearly. (I'm still surprised that the so-called Easter Bombing took place). I hope and pray that SL will resurrect and bounce back to normalcy. Also hope that the Govt will get the priorities right. We've been battered for many decades now. People, irrespective of their creeds and castes expect to be happy. To feed the kids, give them education, freedom etc. Unfortunately, politicians are distracted conveniently. Support tourism and much-needed dollars will come. Support the fishing industry and cultivation, kids won't go hungry. We have been self-sustained for many centuries. Let's revive our souls!!
Much love and respect!!
Assalam Alaikum, God Bless! Jesu Pihital, Budusaranai!!

As a Tamil Srilankan born and raised in London while eating this food regularly growing up, it seems so surreal to me watching it in this format with the cultural aspects and stereotypically selected music on this channel, I don't know how to feel about this😂😂
Jaffna, where warm hearts, vivid culture and best of foods meet. Cheers from Colombo
The world knows a lot about Indian Tamils but not a lot about Sri Lankan Tamils. Thank you for shining the spotlight on Sri Lankan Tamils who are an integral part of Sri Lanka with their unique culture and their heavenly Sri Lankan Tamil accent. Love it, love Sri Lanka.
Not just an accent, Sri Lankan Tamils have, according to linguists, their own peculiar group of dialects (Jaffnese, Trincomalean, Batticaloan,...) that are generally not mutually intelligible with Tamil dialects of India.
Actually, "the world" doesn't know much about Indian Tamils either, lol. Particularly in the West, all people know is Hindi, Hindu, chicken tikka masala, naan and samosas.
I've met plenty of South Asian Americans that give me a confused look when I say I'm Tamil, especially if they're from places like Punjab or Bihar.
I grew up in a very white Protestant area of Houston, and the concept of vegetarianism was extremely alien. So no, "the world" does not know "a lot" about Indian Tamils, LMAO.
@@nahor88 In my country (in Europe generally, outside the UK), they even know more about Sri Lankan Tamils than Indian Tamils ! People are so accustomed to Sri Lankan Tamils that they regularly assume every Dark South Asian looking people as Sri Lankan, rather than Indian (who are associated with "North Indian/Pakistani" appearance). The Tamil language and identity itself are also more commonly associated with Sri Lanka. Many don't know that the Tamil heartland and majority are indeed Indian.
Nah. Dr pimple popper watching this rn. They all have Lipomas on their necks
@@drodro7672 As a Singaporean Tamil living in Canada, I can confirm this to a degree. Majority of Tamils in Canada are from Sri Lanka. Some Eelam Tamils are easier to comprehend than others. Likewise, I had a challenging time in Chennai understanding their unique Tamil as well. Similar challenges for English speakers too, I guess. I have no idea what they are talking about half the time in Northern England.
Absolutely fascinating! The culinary journey through Jaffna was a feast for the senses, and the Neck Bulge technique showcased an incredible part of Tamil tradition. Great work capturing the essence of Sri Lanka's rich culture.

I'm Sri Lankan and lived my whole life here but this is first time hearing about this unique aspect of Tamil culture. Tiny island with so much to offer. Made me fall in love with my country all over again. And I agree that food in Jaffna is the best. 👌

No offense but how do you live there and not know about an entire group of people in your country? I guess it's a poor country so people can't afford to travel, but if you were to tell me an American had no idea Appalachian people existed in West Virginia I wouldn't believe you. Interesting.
Getting ready to kill off the rest of us and stall more of our culture and holy places? Naiye
@@ATLTraveler the OP belongs to killers.
Food is always a feel good story. Everybody has to eat everywhere around the world. Its awesome.
That lady was so warm and welcoming I'd love to visit!!! 💕
Wow !! Enjoyed this. As a Caribbean person of Indian ancestry, I thought I knew most ethnic foods ( curries, spices etc) but this was such an eye opener. And the people look like our indo-caribbean relatives, even though history says our ancestors ( indentured labourers) were from India. The culture/foods adds Sri Lanka to my bucket list. ❤ 🇹🇹
Your ancestors mostly came from the northern Indian state of Bihar and UP. Sri Lanka is to the extreme south of India.
Many tamils in the Caribbean and South Africa
You should visit Kerala
I hope know one asked you where you are from,apparently that is a question that could identify you as being rascist
@@lesliehall7683 English seems to be your second language so I'll excuse your ignorance/stupidity!
As a Filipino married to a Tamilian Indian, I am dying to visit Sri Lanka. Hopefully before he goes back abroad we will be able to travel here❤️.
sigh
is he catholic

Can you show me around Filipino in your Bike?

Her smile and laughs are just satisfying. Big heart and loves to feed people. My heart is full of joy. I believe all cultures should experience all cultures at least once. I would love to go here and stay🙏☮️
I never skip scenes when it comes to Sonny’s video. I live through this channel and I appreciate learning about different cultures !
I wish I could try some of the foods...I watch his videos every day too ❤❤❤❤
15:00 This hit so hard. And of course, I love visiting Jaffna and enjoying their Amazing Culture and Food!!
I am sri lankan Tamil, reside in Canada for more than 30 years. There are more than 1½million tamil people scattered across north America and Europe, fled the country due to the civil war. I've been to this jaffna temple when i was 6 years old. Old memories. This video pretty much took us back home for few minutes. Miss sri lanka (jaffna)
Thats sad that srilankan tamils had to fled the island
Why did you leave?
@@jamierupert7563 As he said: during the Civil War in Sri Lanka.
More power to you brother
More power to u man
at 2:54 OMG she is my teacher Mrs.Joseph.... she was teaching us in primary section at Jaffna St.Patrick's college.. She looks the same as before when we were kids around age of 7... I'm 47 years old now... Sir you took me wayback to my childhood by show my teacher .. you made me in tears with happiness... Thank you 😂🥰
why do you have primary section in college 🪦
SriLankan tamizhs are one of the most intellligente,educated and cultural people in the world.I am SriLankan Singhela.❤
proud to be a srilankan tamil💪
Omg prawn sothi and nandu curry 😍🥰 brings back childhood memories and nostalgia
This is substance, everything that is missing with other food reviews. The story behind the food and how Sonny translates his opinions and tastebuds is what makes this the best food review channel to me.
As a Tamil Canadian, happy to see our land and culture and food being shared, thank you!
Man I want to eat the dosa 😭 so delicious food
What is Tamil Canadian?
😂😂🥴😏bc
@@ksh1692 what are you ?
I work in a restaurant and most our cooks are Sri Lankan, and most days at lunch they cook and share their traditional dishes 🌶 sooooo yum!! Grateful to experience! Be lovely to travel and eat there in person.
I can't express how much I am happy that you visited my country... I have been a fan of yours for a while and I love your program soooo much..... I wished that you would come here and now my wish became real... Thank you soo much for visiting here and hope you have visited Kandy, Gall, Colombo and etc with your handy camera Sony!!!!
as a srilankan sinhalese we proud of our brothers of tamilians.eventually all are simillar as human being in one country.
Sonnys guide Zulaina is adorable. I love how she represents Jaffna and how proud she is about its food and culture!
I'm moved to tears as I watch this. Particularly when she mentioned that Sri Lankans are resilient people.
Sounds like you are emotionally unstable...
Exactly why are you moved to tears?
@@carlknox8547 Because they are emotionally moved by the words of the host. We’re humans, emotions are a part of our design.
What i liked about your channel is you respect every food and country your going👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The star fort you showed early in your video were left here by the last civilization but I never knew of the one you showed. Very amazing. What a beautiful place , culture and people thankyou for the video 🙏
Everything that lady made looked absolutely incredible.
I got stranded in Sri Lanka for a couple days some years ago, and as a Marylander I LOVED their love of seafood 😍😍 also a beautiful and deeply kind people. They were very welcoming everywhere I went, they wouldn’t let me pay for a thing! Such a gorgeous place ❤️
The story of how you got stranded sounds interesting
@@djw5415 in short, a flight delay+sleazy “friends”= waiting on a western union wire.
I'm Ugandan and i was treated the same after i landed at Kochi airport in kerala. Each time i wanted tl buy food waiting for train they wouldn't let me pay in restaurants and shops. That was beautiful

Thank you so much for showing us different food in the world. we have coconut in our country but I don't know how to use it. it's time to learn more spices .the food looks spicy and delicious 😋.
I had the pleasure of trying Jaffna octopus curry when I visited Sri Lanka, and I still think about it every now and then. Top 5 seafood dish that I've tried, and that's coming from a Keralite!
thank u for showing srilankan Tamil people life .. love from tamilnadu
This series brought me so much joy. I went to Sri Lanka for a month in the summer of 2018, volunteering for that duration as well as traveling and exploring. The culture, the food and just everything about Sri Lanka while I was there has been one of the most unforgettable and amazing experiences I've ever had. I'm happy that there is a Sri Lankan restaurant near me where I can experience a portion of the amazing food I had there and I hope to go back soon. I miss this country and everything about it so much
This video brought back fond memories of this amazing country! Thank you so much!
The Jaffna people are really knowledgeable as well as kindful people, I have 5 year living experience with them.. I love them..❤
As a tamilan so happy to see the festival and the food cooked in Jaffna
❤
I am in awe! Sri Lankan food looks absolutely amazing!!! I found myself starving 5 minutes into this video.
I love your upbeat, edgy style of presentation. It would help my enjoyment of your videos if the dishes and venues you list in your description were in the same order they appear in the video. In this video I had to jump up and down the description to follow what you were eating at a given time. X
May God Murugan make sriLanka #1 again in tourist destination....love from INDIA❤
Sorry but your demon gods don't exist.
Sorry but your arrogance is contradictory @@sat0rugojo
Jaffna is a Tamil culture that many Sri Lankan Sinhala aren’t even aware of. Super cool and beautiful
Are you Indian?
Who told you that 😂😂😂
Are you indian or srilankan , cuz we know alot about our country
You must be an Indian 😂 Who is struggling to make ma mess 😂 We know about their culture very well . Because they are our people too....We are Sri Lankans
I really love how Indians judge sinhl ppl but fun fact is they didn't even visit Sri Lanka at least one time 😂
Lots of love from Tamil Nadu, Murugan and the Muthaitharu pathi thirunagai from thirupaavai as background music, well made video ❤❤
Hi Sonny Thank you so much for coming to Jaffna. Finally Ruzaina has brought a big RUclipsr to the North. Jaffna deserves to be recognized for their food. Most food in Sri lanka is Tamilan food but no recognition. Thank you Sonny and Ruzaina for this beautiful show. This episode in particular brought back so many memories and tears to my eyes. My parents also must be somewhere in sea of people at this festival at Nallur kovil. You guys are the best duo to point out the real story in Sri lanka.

Sri Lankan food is the most under rated cuisine in the world. I love their unique spices!
Wouldn't call it unique
@@DifferentMset11 very poor country Sri Lanka... Love from India
@@shakilupol7734 yeah but fewer rape cases and corruption and a super clean +hight literacy rate so I can say its more suitable for tourism compared to some other neighboring countries
@@shakilupol7734 not poor in people's heart .
@@learn1232 highest literacy rate and cleanliness didn't save your country tho, poverty has been the hallmark of the Sinhalese for generations, not now.
I love her "yeah" when they talked about the seaplane.
As a doctor, when i saw it first , i thought its Lipoma, But now.. i have no clue…
Love from India .
We all Indians wish Shrilanka comes out from bad times earliest possible and thrive again to serve the one of the best places for tourism.
Really appreciate how you respectfully present each culture, shows your involvement as a great human being. Love from Calcutta.
I tear up on half these videos from the pure passion of people.
I love this channel. Asian food is my favorite. All of it, from everywhere. Omg so delicious!
I'm Jamaican and now I've learned there is so much more to do with coconut.
I would love to learn to make the coconut hop/crepe.
So look up a recipe 😮
Look things up...
@@TommyBurger95 some people expect things to fall into their hands..
On Internet asking for advice but don't have time to look things up...
I thought all topical cuisines are same...with so much coconuts in islands 😂
@@DionneGudgin-bf4ny she didn't ask for your advice.
Thank you, sonny, for presenting Sri Lanka to the world In this hard time. Yes, Sri Lanka is a magical Island. Sri Lanka will fight back for its economic situation and people like you make a huge impact for that.
Really happy to came to vlog for our country sri lanka, big man like you. wish you long life "ayubovan"
I love Sri Lanka food, and by the way, even the fruit is spicy! One of the first times down their, together with my now ex-wife and her family, we went for a family picnic and they talked about fruit salad, looking forward to that. Here in Denmark fruit salad is very sweet and with rich cream, a overly sweet desert. In Sri Lanka fruit salad is any fruit chopped into dices and sprinkled with chili or curry powder!
The most flavorful cuisine hands down in my opinion. Sri Lanka will be my next destination to travel. Love from Vietnam!
Sri Lanka love from India 🤝🇮🇳🇱🇰🤝
Ruzaina is amazing! Thank you so much for guiding and accompanying Sonny to make this video happen, and yes, this video make me want to visit Sri Lanka maybe some day..
