As holidays approach, many friends will choose to travel abroad, so if you want to travel to Sri Lanka, you must remember to taste Sri Lankan food. Come and see what's delicious with me.
1. Blue crabs
Unlike in China, the blue crabs in Sri Lanka are not bred and grown, but are caught fresh from the Indian Ocean every day. Stay away from pollution, so the crabs here are big and thick, very fresh and sweet. It's a pity that the local practice in Lanka is not in line with the taste of Chinese people. It is recommended to go to the Chinese restaurant in Colombo to taste it.
2. Epinephelus
Epinephelus inhabit the rocky reefs and coral reefs along the coast of Sri Lanka. Langka's unique natural ecological environment and life make it rich in nutrition and tender in meat. The price of Sri Lankan grouper is staggering, and a whole steamed sea bass is equivalent to only a few tens of yuan.
3. Lobster
Lobster in Colombo is cheaper and more affordable than that in China. Because Colombo was colonized by Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain, the food here is cooked in a westernized way, and the lobster is mainly western food, which tastes very good.
4. curry feast
Sri Lankan dishes are mainly composed of rice, fish and vegetables with various spices and curry. Traditional rice Rice and Curry consists of rice, curry (fish, meat or vegetarian food), beans, vegetables and peppers. Sri lankans are spicy, and all kinds of spices will have a special taste. People who are not used to it can try curry dishes with lighter colors.
5. Pancake
Hopper is a small round pancake with a bowl shape, which is very popular in Colombo. People often stand in the shop waiting for the owner to make a Hopper, and when they buy it, they are a dozen. The best Hopper is Egg Hopper with an egg in the middle, sprinkled with pepper and salt, and Honey Hopper with honey is also good.
6. Indian cuisine
India and Sri Lanka are close neighbors geographically, which invisibly makes the diets of the two countries have many similarities. If you have never been to India, it is also a good choice to have an authentic Indian meal in Lanka.
7. Freshly squeezed juice
Colombo is located in the tropics, and it is rich in all kinds of exotic fruits, whether it is green Guava, beautiful Avocado or sweet and sour Wood Apple. Freshly squeezed juices with different flavors are all good products for relieving summer heat in hot weather. There are all kinds of fruit juices sold in small shops everywhere on the roadside. The pure natural taste without additives and the affordable price always make people want to stop.
8. Byriyani
Byriyani is a common special fried rice in South Asia, which is cooked with various spices, vegetables and rice. Odd and fragrant, often accompanied by eggs and sauces, the most surprising thing is that there may be a delicious fried chicken leg buried in the rice.
9. High-end hotel buffet
There are many luxury hotels in Colombo, which are deeply influenced by British colonial history, and the British legacy still exists in hotel service. Even if you don't stay, going in for a buffet or having a drink in the hotel Club is a very recommended experience.
1. Special fruits
The streets of Colombo are full of golden coconuts, which are not common in China. Generally, you can put it on the floor of a roadside shop at will, and ask the boss to cut one for you if you like it. You can cut a small mouth with a few brushes, and you can taste it by inserting a straw. Coconut meat is tender and smooth, which is simply a natural jelly.
There are as many as 18 varieties. Different kinds of bananas have different tastes, some are sweet and salty, some can only be used for cooking, and some can be used as medicine. Bananas have different prices according to different varieties. The most common yellow banana is a few rupees each. Red bananas may sell for 2 rupees/piece.
I keep discovering Hakata fried dumplings, Hakata ramen, etc.
