    🥒 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.

    Hi again Sonny and Ruzaina.
    My mother doesnt speak english so i am going to translate what she asked me to as this video is all the rave back home. I am living in Canada and my phone with the family group chat hasn't stopped buzzing since this video came out. My mother and her family and many others from Jaffna wants to thank you two personally for showing the Nallur Kovil festival and our food culture in such a beautiful and positive way. According to her even the NATIONAL channel of Sri lanka has never shown this. No one, even from our own country has ever shed a light on our festivities like this. We are really proud of this video. Jaffna has been through really dark times and we still suffer from severe ptsd. This video has given us so much love, light and positivity. Thank you Sir and Madame for showing Jaffna the love and kindness it truly deserves.
    ILLAŃKAYIL KATAVUL UNKALAI ĀSIRVATIPPAR!

    Forever grateful to Sonny and team BEFRS for doing this for Sri lanka!. 🙏🏽💕🇱🇰
    So much work has gone into this prodution. What an amazing and beautiful series. Working and learning video proudction with Sonny and his team has been such fantastic experience. Thank you so much. Sri lanka is a melting pot of different cultures and the food is the by product of a happy marriage between all. Sonny and his team arrived just two weeks after severe protests in the country and things were moving very slow as the island was not yet fully opened. There is more to see and more to experience in terms of food and culture. Each direction of the country have their own unique culinary experince and how i wish Sonny and his team could have stayed longer.. but we did have some serious fuel issue at the time too. Now however everything is getting back to normal and we hope to see you all coming in to experiencing our beautiful and magical island with absolutely delicious cuisine. Our magical island with delicious food and warm smiles awaits your visit to Sri lanka. 🙏🏽🇱🇰💕

It didn’t matter if we were the same people or not they always greet you with a smile and the most humble welcoming gesture. Most generous with their food. They rather you eat and they go without. There is a special place in my heart for my Sri Lankan friends.

I am so happy to see social media influencers like you making these amazing videos to build up great messages about a country like Sri Lanka. I really enjoyed your work and as a person who lived in Sri Lanka for 27 yrs of my life, I learned new things about Sri Lanka which I never knew before thanks to your video. In the meantime, I have a small critique, Throughout the 1hr and 10-minute video, I didn't see any Sinhalese style cuisine, Ruzaina mentioned there specifically, Sinhalese cuisine is what makes Sri Lankan cuisine unique, But sadly I didn't see any. Although Sinhalese are the majority in the country, in South Asia, Sinhalese are a minority ethnic group and their food is rare and unique.

    As she kept on saying this used to be a beautiful country and we've gone through so many things together, I lost my classmates and few other girls of my school due to the easter attack, then I lost so many teachers and nuns known to me at school due to the pandemic. with hopelessness we kept on moving and then due to corrupted government of the country and the barbaric regime we lost our 3 meals, continuous power cuts, no transport, no school, no sanitary pads. The nuns at the hostel asked us to use clothes as sanitary pads as the prices has risen and no more affordable. Amidst all these we still keep on moving hoping that it'll turn better, and the corruption will lessen than it is now.

    Sri Lanka has lavishly aromatic and spicy cuisine. For the real Sri Lankan food experience, if you ever visit the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, try visiting an authentic Sri Lankan kitchen. You will see different types, of the most aromatic herbs, chili powder, peppers, cinnamon, more spices & etc. Their dishes are the richest since they are cooked with coconut milk, there are also plenty of vegetarian dishes as well. And the crazy part? They all serve a purpose and used for a specific dishes added upon a specific time. Don’t you ever suggest to the cook, those spices are interchangeable. That is the uniqueness of Sri Lankan food.

    As a malay malaysian, im really suprise to hear some familiar words tht then sri lankan malay still use like dodol = a kind of sticky toffee made from coconut and usually a festive food , babat ( cow skin if in malaysia but intestine in sri lankan malay).
    Also, i can see alot of similarities with sri lankan food with malaysian food. Like the roti ( roti canai in malaysia) , that coconut sambal ( we have something similar called serunding), that yellow broth shrimp dish ( we have something called masak lemak, where the ingredients are the same and different proteins could be added.), and the string hoppers ( idlis by the indian community in malaysia. )
    Food do travel all over the world.. We should celebrate this interculture mix between us. ❤

I am from Italy and I have been in few other countries, but Sri Lankan food is just WOW! More than anything, they have very healthy foods such as Jackfruit in this video, and it's also little bit difficult to find these 'healthy' type of vegetables from street food vendors or they just add a ton of oil.
    My fav foods are: Kottu, String Hoppers, Hoppers, Uludu Wade, Isso Wade, Rolls, Rice with Coconut Sambol, Milk rise with lunu miris 😍😍😍 (this is just a short list)
