    ABOUT FOOD AND FOOTPRINTS:
    We are Greg and Jumi, hailing from opposite ends of the globe. Greg is a native New Yorker who was born and raised in Queens NYC and Jumi grew up in the beautiful islands of the Visayas region of the Philippines.
    How did we meet? One of us messaged the other on Instagram (before sliding in DM's was even possible through the app!) and we met just after Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in October 2012. Although we grew up in two very different worlds, we bonded over a love of experiences over material things, delicious food and exploration.
    We have visited 15+ countries together since December 2014 exploring beaches, ancient temples, bustling streets and ruins. Along the way, we get adrenaline flowing whether paragliding, ziplining, or jetskiing.
    To fuel up for our adventures (and everyday life), we eat lots of local food wherever we are. Street food, carts, trucks, hidden gems and family-run sit-downs are our mainstays. We don't cook, but prefer to spend our money on experiences and we treat food as one. Hey, we gotta eat regardless, right? May as well enjoy it and support good businesses while we're at it!
    All of this is done while we work full-time at our day jobs. How do we do it? Follow along our journeys and you will learn more. Welcome to our lifestyle!

    Sri Lankan food is something we rarely discover here in Melbourne.
    Thanks guys for showing the deliciousness of Sri Lankan food. We are now inspired to find the best Sri Lankan food here.
    Love the second place, nothing is better than going to a restaurant where the owner or the staff treats you like a family 😍

Kingfish is a lot like sword fish top notch comparison! 😁👍

      Love eating with hands! That kottu roti has such a wonderful texture and flavor.
      Funny you say that about the veggies. We’ve said that Sri Lanka may be one of the only places we could ever be vegetarian.
      Thanks! Hadn’t had kingfish before, but that meaty texture immediately reminded me of swordfish

    Never tried sri lankan food. Looks so connected with mother nature and earth with the display of it with it in the banana leaf, the incorporation of the warm spices, comforting grounding dal, sweet tangy of the fruit, and curried vegetables etc. The lady at the second restaurant , so hospitable and lovely. The last restaurant wow with the decor, love the natural textures of your tea mugs and clay like water pitcher. Enjoyed watching you two together and the love between you ❤ ❤. The wu-tang murals, the skyline with the bridges and the water, the NY ( staten island experience. Both of you are werking them sunglasses can look like sunglass models. Love the sunglasses too. Just listening to you guys and feel like we went on food experience adventure with you both. Everything about this video was love!! 👌.

      Two of the best spices in the world!
      It really was an awesome place - it is a great place to introduce someone to the cuisine with the buffet format.
      We really did have a massive feast! Also fun to go to a part of NYC we never went to before

      I also love Cardamons. There used to be a gum that contained Cardamons but they were discontinued! I was so upset haha. That wrapped rice looks so complex and flavorful. I would just eat it with hands too lol. Good call.

    • @FiveMinuteSneakerTV
      @FiveMinuteSneakerTV 5 лет назад +2

      I love visiting restaurants where the owners or servers are excited about the foods they offer. Its such a plus for me. Those noodles.... Look so unique and delicious. I guess Sri Lankan food is traditionally similar to Indian in that you eat with your right hand? Crab curry! Yumm...

    • @FiveMinuteSneakerTV
      @FiveMinuteSneakerTV 5 лет назад +2

    • @FiveMinuteSneakerTV
      @FiveMinuteSneakerTV 5 лет назад +2

      Hahaha after 2 rounds of food, you guys aren't sharing a dish I love it haha 💪💪💪 I don't think I can do... 3 meals of the same origin in a single day.... But it does look like dishes differ from place to place. Maybe you guys planned this well and ordered different types of dishes at each place. What I also notice is that all the decor and atmosphere in each restaurant is rustic and awesome. I wasn't aware that stanten island has a big Sri Lankan community. Great info and awesome food tour guys!

    What’s your favorite ?

    • @FoodandFootprints
      @FoodandFootprints  5 лет назад +2

      It is a stunning spot! And the beauty is that the food matched up with it too.
      Favorite dish there was the black pork - those flavors were off the hook! For the day, tough to pick a favorite.

      Yup! Big contrasts there - we love gudeg so it was cool to have a Sri Lankan take on jackfruit. Yesss turmeric is such a great spice. True that lamb needs to be cooked correctly - when it is, it is unbelievably good!
