- All I can say is WOAH!!! Sri Lankan food is so much more than I ever expected!
Sri Lankan food might take the cake for the most underrated and misunderstood cuisine. The food's incredible, and the vivid flavours you will taste are all a result of Sri Lanka's colourful history as a port for international trade in the olden-day Maritime Silk Route. Before ever trying Sri Lankan food, I had thought it would likely be much the same as Indian food. I'm sure I'm not the only one! Sure there are similarities, but there is so much more to unpack.
There are so many different spices, ingredients and cooking techniques used in Sri Lankan cuisine. You'll see influences from Indian, Chinese, Malaysian and Indonesian food, and even from the Persians, Dutch and Portuguese. Think stir-fries, curries, biryani, fried rice, and sambal.
In this video, we tried a Sri Lankan fried rice dish called 'thilak rice' with an incredible piece of devilled chicken, the national staple dish kothu roti, and string hoppers with lots of different curries (including chicken, mutton, fish and vegetarian curries).
Location: Lankan Railway Cafe, Mortdale

Love from Sri Lanka ❤️
Love from sri lanka ❤❤❤
The only way to truly enjoy Sri Lankan cuisine is undoubtedly in Sri Lanka ! My respect to the Sri Lankan chef in your video 😊
Would really love to visit one day!
@@SydneyFoodBoy You should visit soon. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people
I haven’t tried Sri Lankan food before but this has made me want to try ❤
Get out there and I hope you enjoy 😁
@@SydneyFoodBoy there’s one in my city I’ll have to try!
You normally nevery hear of Sri Lankan Food, mostly Thai or Vietnamese Food is recommed.
But since i travelled to Sri Lanka i absolutly love this food and for me it's really the best.
So many different types of Curries and all easy to make.
But prepare a lot of cinamon and curry & pandan
leaves (hard to get in europe) beforehand.
I'm so glad more people are starting to see how beautiful Sri Lankan food and cuisine is Michael!!
Thank yo so much. *lankave idan balana apita ena gamma* tysmm
Having travelled to Sri Lanka, I can also attest to the beauty of their food. Their curries are so beautiful, especially with the added coconut cream, their sambal is soooo fresh and vibrant, their roti I personally think is better than Indian roti, and the way they use seafood is chefs kiss.
Edit: next time @sydney boy food ask them for egg hoppa. It's the ultimate egg omelette.
I tried an egg hopper the other day! I loved it!! What a great dish!
Looks insanely good, thanks for showcasing a gem in this part of Sydney. Can’t wait to try that rice dish!
And thank YOU for watching Evette! The rice dish was incredible!
Hello im sri lankan , so proud about you chef and thanks for you Food boy for interview and show our county proud for world.💪💪💪💪💪💪 🇱🇰
Thank you for watching my friend! Sri Lankan food and culture is beautiful!
@@SydneyFoodBoy are you visit sri lanka
Sri Lankan food is all about rice and curries and I'm really happy you tried the most authentic stuff like all the varieties of curries. There's a huge range of vegetable to meat curries in Sri Lanka and they're all packed with different flavours. You didn't disappoint, you went straight down to the must try Sri Lankan food. Loved the video!
Defos giving sri lankan cuisine a try after watching this! Production quality is 🔥 keep it up bro
Thanks heaps Martin 🙂🙂
I eat Sri Lankan food everyday since I’m most Sri Lankan only quarter Aussie!😊and he’s right it’s a must try!!!😊😁👍🏽
The food looked DELICIOUS and I love that you tried all the different dishes 🍛..The nice thing about Sri Lankan food is the creamy curries with the coconut 🥥 cream so yum . I can’t wait for the next video ..x🥰💕
I somehow feel like you've tried more food than me Irena 😜😜😜
that food looks amazing . And i never thought of trying Sri Lankan food .
Definitely worth the try some day Bob! Hope you enjoy and thank you for watching 🙂
Bob, good to see you here and giving poor old Lucille and Larry Longprong some respite.
Might see you at this Restaurant one day!
Sri Lankan vegetables are loaded with all sorts of high nutrients. The range is amazing. You get a large variety of greens which are very high in vitamins and minerals. This is the beauty of mouth-watering Sri Lankan food over and about the vast preparations combining spices, coconut, oil and herbs. Sri Lankan food should get its due recognition. Thanks for this video.
The Lankan Railway cafe is an underrated gem that deserves to be in the spotlight. I love their food, and the owners are super friendly! It's one of the best authentic Sri Lankan cuisine experiences you can have in Sydney, hands down.
Kotu roti is my fave. When I explain it to peeps I say it’s Sri Lankan pad Thai made with bread 😅
😂 great way to explain it tbh! I love it too!
it’s not the bread we use it’s a type of roti we use called godamba roti to use for the kottu roti. you could buy the roti at coles now.
It’s more of a pad see ew but with wheat noodle (bread cut in noodle shape). But honestly one of my favorite street foods ever. So many different varieties as well, cheese kottu, dolphin kottu, palandi kottu, string hopper kottu etc
😁 I think you created a new way to eat string hoppers! We usually mix it with dhal, coconut sammbol and jackfruit curry (chicken or fish etc.) and eat like you would eat rice and curry. With the texture of string hoppers, some curries work better than others. I usually love thibbatu mallum (wild eggplant sambol) with string hoppers, jackfruit curry and dhal.
😂 yah he got me on that part i still cant stop my laugh 😂
I'm from sri lanka .Sri Lanka has delicious food as well as beautiful places
I'm from sri lanka too😊
sri lankan languages are beautiful too you know🙂
@@dini2425 yeah I know
actually most of these i tried sri lankan food guys eat indian and none sri lankan food and call them sri lankan food but real sl foods are rice,kevum,kokis 🤣🤣🤣
yes agreed
Noiiiiiice!!!.. luv spicy food!..have had indian curries ..but have never tried Sri Lankan food though....I'm just eyeing that goat curry and coconut sambal.🤤❤️
I think everyone needs to try Sri Lankan food! It's definitely different to what you might expect!
An awesome video.. I appreciate you showing love to our food
Thank you so much Laksiri! 😁
Eat string hopper dhal curry with coconut sambull it's taste super.
Oooo I see! I should have combined a few together like that!
@@SydneyFoodBoy and mix then together for 10 - 15 seconds then eat...
Thank you so much for traveling Sri Lanka.
Love from Sri Lanka.♥️❤️
A lots of love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤
Our magical foods. love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤
If you do not mind, in your video you are consuming the Sri Lankan food somewhat wrong. The stringhoppers should be placed at the base of your eating plate and the curries from the small dishes in the serving plate should be placed on top of the stringhoppers using a table spoon. After this the curries should be mixed with the stringhoppers while eating. Preferably the food should be consumed with your fingers. In Sri Lanka this meal is consumed with the fingers but you can eat with a fork as well. If you ask the restaurant chef who prepared the food he will tell you how to consume this food. This way the food is much more delicious.
I see!! I must try this next time! I apologise for getting the eating technique wrong! Thank you for teaching me Varuna 🙂
@@SydneyFoodBoy Not at all. There's no need to apologize. I am just letting you know how we Sri Lankans consume this meal. This way the taste is much better. All the Best! Good Luck to you.
I' m from Sri Lanka thank you again and again for doing this bro.appriciate that 😍😍😍
thank you for appriciating srilanka.keep it up bro.😃💛💯
Thank you for the kind words bro!
Firstly you have lost weight - so I hate you 🤣 but good on you. Secondly at 42 secs that family - you can see they are the most gentle beautiful family and I pray their restaurant thrives after this video. Another cuisine to add to the rich tapestry of cultures Australia has been blessed with. Thirdly, how on earth did you find this place outside of South West Sydney? I know exactly where that restaurant is as I know Mortdale well. Really good video & I will be paying them a visit!!!
I've lost weight?? Really? 😜 Thank you Hailey! They are 100% a beautiful family, hope you get to try their amazing food!
Here we go! Will be sending this to all my SL brethren.
🙏🙏😁
You have tried not only tastiest but healthiest curries in the world. We cook them with lot of spices so it boost immune system, also vegetables like Okra is very good for the stomach. It lower sugar, and reduce heart attacks as well. Reason why south asians live longer. ❤️🇱🇰
This is something people don't talk about when referring to Sri Lankan food. In fact, nutritional value is the most special thing about vegetables and curries.
You must visit Sri Lanka one day bro❤️ thank you for talking about our cuisines and flavours, shoutout to the chef and owner of the restaurant too!
My good sir ate string hoppers with okra, snake gourd and bitter gourd 😭 gotta try that one day
No karawila 🤢
@@duality7 YES KARAWILA 😤
@@harryr5785 😂
Will do! And my pleasure, thank you for watching 🙂 did I do something I wasn't supposed to? 😅
@@SydneyFoodBoy not at all😭 you just invented a new way of eating string hoppers.
Shoutouts to the editor of these videos getting better and better 👏👏
He means a lot to this channel! What would I do without him!
I am a Sri lankan..... when you are trying sri lankan food, it just gave me a huje proud & it make me more happier.... You may try cheese kottu as well brother ....
Good stuff! Looks pretty authentic compared to a lot of Sri Lankan food made abroad. However, butter chicken is not Sri Lankan at all. It is indian. The tiny bowls of curry need to be eaten with rice. Rice served in the middle of a plate with all these curries around which is mixed a little at a time (generally with your hands) with each other along with the rice.
String hoppers are supposed to be soaked in a liquidy curry like potato curry and chicken curry... with coconut sambol on the side. That too is generally mixed together and eaten with your hand.
One of the curries you mentioned is called snake gourd curry and not snake goat lol (the chef may have miss pronounced it). Do visit Sri Lanka someday, the food is out of this world.
Yummmmmmmmmm. So keen to give this place a visit
Hope you love it 😁
WORLD BEST FOOD IN SRI LANKA PROUD TO SAY IT 🍳🍤🍗🍞 LOVE FROM SRI LANKA 😀
Awesome Vid. Hoppers are a must as well. Cheese, egg, plain... Good entre'.
Tried hoppers just recently! Loved them! They have this lacey crepe texture, wonderfully stuff
Try String Hoppers with Dhal and Sambol !It's the best combination🤗
The food looks really great, thank for trying our County food❤
Looove Sri Lankan food - egg hoppers & crab curry are so good!
I also used to hate the bitter melon soup as a kid, but now I love it and even crave it now I'm older.
Looking at the stringhoppers just gave me memories of when I was in school sometimes when my mom couldn't pack me up a lunchbox she'll buy a packet of stringhoppers with pol sambol and the taste was heavenly.. I miss it
You should have tried Sri Lankan bread with pol sambul and parippu 🤤
nice....but now you can buy some land or a vehicle for the price of food in Sri Lanka.
President Ranil and the Rajapaksa family have ruined the country's economy.
Commenting with pride as a srilankan. Thanks for showcasing the srilankan food
Next one on the list for us to try :). The food looks delish. How do you research the places you do a video on? Do you go off recommendations from your insta followers?
A lot of the time, I hear places from word of mouth! If I meet someone from a particular background, I like to ask them where to find the best food from their cultural background and that's how I find a lot of places! I absolutely get recommendations from my Instagram followers too! Thank you to everyone who messages me :)
Ah. Yes! Home food😍❤🇱🇰🔥
love your videos man, very underrated creator! Keep it up and hope you blow up soon.
Thank you heaps Elton 🙏 appreciate you my friend!
Sri lanka is lovely country ❤❤❤👍🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
I'm salivating now. Sri lankan foods are packed with lots of spices. When I say a lot I meant it. It's full of favours and lots of health benefits...
Bruh Lankan food is unlike anything else. It's nothing short of amazing. It's quite different to Indian food in many ways. I recommend anyone to hit up a good local Lankan restaurant. You need to try watalappam for dessert and if you can find it, ambul thiyal. Lamprais is a really popular Dutch-Sri Lankan fusion food too that's great. String hoppers too. List goes on and on.
Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰😘
Love you right back Sri Lanka!
Hey nice video and I'm from Sri Lanka
I love Kottu Roti😋❤
I Really proud of my country ❤
Love from srilanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Proud to be born in Sri Lankan 😊😊
Proud to be born as a Sri Lanka who gets to taste these foods daily ❤️
thank you brother.I'm from sri lanka.If you visit our country you can enjoy many srilankan's foods and you can visit many beautiful places in srilanka.😍😍😍
Those vegetable curries should go with white rice and you should eat spring hoppers with lentils ,sambol and any meat curry😃
With lots of love from Sri Lanka
Thank you so much for trying Sri Lankan food!!!!!!

I love Sri Lanka, amazing food and people ❤. Thank you for this video! 👍👍
Thanks for trying sri lankn food💜️
As srilankan we always mix all curries with cooked rice. It so good. I think you would try it also. And also we normally eat string hoppers with dull or potato curry , chicken or fish curry and coconut sumbol mix all together. It also tastes good. 😁 you can try coconut rotti with pork curry and chilli sumboll... we have lot of dish with more delicious. We can't enclose it all with msg. 😍
The strings are eaten usually with any meat curry and famous pol 🥥 sambol for mainly breakfast and dinner! Do Sri Lankan high tea or any cafe that is almost there in every block Fab, Perera and Sons, Caravan if it is still there or at Cinnamon Gardens!
Chanaka is the best chef! So down to earth and humble as well. We drive from Kellyville for over an hour in traffic each way and its worth it. Right next to the station so catch a train if you like.
I also feel hungry when I see your food vedios.Nice delicious Sri Lankan food creamy , cryspy everythig.
I am from Sri Lanka and love food (sinhala) Sri Lanka
I'm watching this in midnight and my mouth is watering 🤣 by the way you need to mix several curries to enjoy the string hoppers
හේ...හේ....ගැම්මක් තමා අපිට අපේ කැම එපා වෙලා සුද්දගෙ කැම හෙව්වට වෙන රට වල අයට අපේ කැම රසයි

You should try a sri lankan girl too bro, There are plenty of sri lankan girls out there who would do anything to get the PR 😂😁

Hey bro, try the string Hopper by drenching it with milky Potato curry and with mix it tight with pol sambol 🤌🏾
කොහොමද එක
sri lankans don't eat Snake gourd / beetroot / pumpkin etc with String hoppers. those veggies are eaten with Rice.
Their aren’t rules for food in Sri Lanka
@@craigsrck4382 You're right
@@craigsrck4382 absolutely I eat anything and every combination...
Awesome, first time watching this vlog, wish to visit this place one day.
Far out that made me hungry! Really glad I found this channel!
Thank you so much for watching 🙂
First man i hv evr seen eating string hoppers with orkra 😂,
You don't know if it's good until you try 😂
Hi brother love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️🙏🏻
Looks very authentic and made with love and care. (This comes from me, a ruthless Srilankan food critic )
Wow 🤩 very good ❤️🇱🇰😍❤️
First time seeing someone eating string hoppers with okra, snake gourd, and bitter melon. You never tried it with the coconut sambal.
Much love from Sri Lnka🇱🇰
Mutton is not lamb it’s sheep (so basically mature lamb 😂) that’s what mutton is in the uk etc but tbh In actual Sri Lanka there aren’t really sheep so it’s goat meat most likely
I see! My bad on that one!! Thanks for educating :)
Nice !! It's just 5 min away from my work..will definitely stopping by
love from sri lanka 😊🇱🇰
Right, 0-1 years old = lamb, 1-2 years old = hoggett, 2+ is mutton. Also it's snake gourd.
Love from Sri Lanka. Most favoured one of mine is egg hoppers, sambol, and cheese kottu😂❤
If you want original kitty
Come to Sri Lanka's Mr.kottu
WOW Nice Video 🤩😎 Best Restaurant 🤩🤩🤩😋😋😋
Hi I'm from Sri Lanka you have to come you can learn sinhala welcome to Sri Lanka
