Kottu Fueled Adventure in Kandy, Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- After arriving in Kandy I had a meal of Kottu, a Sri Lankan specialty. This was the fuel for an afternoon of exploring Udawattakele Forest Reserve, a huge green area in the center of the city.
The first time I ate Kottu was for supper at Pilawoos Hotel in Colombo. Being such a heavy meal it works much better as something to eat earlier in the day, when you want to fuel up with energy for something like a hiking adventure. That's exactly what I did this time.
This kottu, at Green Cafe in Kandy, was different than what I'd had before, that was loaded with chicken and cheese and came with a side of gravy. This one was without gravy and loaded with many different meats and seafood. So many different flavours in each mouthful.
The kottu-fueled hiking adventure began not so far away, in Udawatta Kele. This massive park is walking distance from the main streets in Kandy's city centre and has a varierty of flora and fauna. There's wild monkeys, deer, bores, owls and other creatures. Taking a pair of binoculars there would have been a good idea.

I'm your huge fan Dale. 😍
As a srilankan I would like to thank you for your service by introducing our forigen industry to the world . 😍
My favourite travelling vloger ❤️🔥
For the film buffs, here this(udawatte kale) is where the first forest scene in indiana jones & temple of doom was filmed, where indie finds those statues , the village set was built in the Trinity college primary grounds at the bottom of the road, forest cover was much thicker then and that ugly entrace arch wasnt there, its "protected" now but state of the sanctury is sad to see, it was a sanctuary then too,but nobosy let it go to ruin and it was free to enter. thanks Dale for the video
I love my beautiful country and Iam proud to be a citizen of Srilanka 🇱🇰
Welcome to my motherland dale,glad to see you again
They had a German accent Dale! Your ears have brexited that's for sure!
lol I called them Frenchies the whole video
@@Dale_Philip Dale is a Scot ,,they dont Do Brexiting :)))
Dale is a Scott they dont do Brexiting !!! :)))
@@RANIL7979 his passport says otherwise but I know what you mean. I don't take Dale to be a Euro lovee to be honest, but I may be wrong.. only he knows lol
Ya but he speaks Scottish, not, English. A very proud man!
41:50 I re-watched it more than 10 times 😂
I enjoy your videos in Sri Lanka and love that you keep going back. I'm in Kandy right now... would be great to meet up if you're still in town!
Nice walk thru the forest, and that breakfast looked very good.. Peace
Whoa.. This is the best Udawatta kale exploring video out here.. You must have covered more than 90% of the entire park.. Nice job.. Not many people goes to those caves to see them.. Thanks man, this was more like an informative video for all the local & foreign tourists who are coming to Kandy. .
Dale:How many MINUTES to get to the top
Lady: but it’s a huge place!
Dale: BUT, I have two strong legs 💪.
Lady: Oh, well then 45 minutes LOL!!!!!!
at least appreciate she guiding him...she got a good language skill of course
Krish H like you guys waiting for someone fault or mistake shame on you 😠
What are you people talking about? Lol It was a funny conversation between two people. You acting like I said something bad or negative
@@krish6506 Yah i was wondering what was up with those two as well. LOL
I spent 1 hour to go to the top.😆
Love this video, meeting that lady and the guy in the scooter is a nice experience! They seem very good people
Kottu is My favorite Street food🥰
Hambawa is a flying squirrel and very hard to see during the day. I recall seeing the Giant Squirrel in Sinharaja tho. For forest hikes Sinharaja can't be beat.

From tourist perspective watching your vlogs I have noticed how many things are there that we can develop in order to showcase the beauty of this wonderful island and also leave unforgettable experiences, I hope the tourism authority will open their eyes.
Amazing coverage Dale!! Keep it up!
Enjoy watching all your videos. Careful when hiking 🙏
What an amazing coincidence, I know the owner of that house, and it isnt the man you spoke to, he is the son of the owner. I've had lunch there a couple of years ago. They are friends of ours. they picked us up from the Kandy station, and gave us a tour of Kandy in their old vintage car.
Sounds like an awesome experience.
Awesome video again. Thank you for keeping us entertained and enlightened with your uniqueness. You truly are going a great job for Sri Lankan Tourism. You tell it as it is - no fluff. Now people know what to expect when they visit this great island.
i never knew that we had places like this... keep it up dale.

I like play far cry 3 when i see your video. Nice view dale 👍🏻
Hi Dale! Your vlogs are absolutely amazing. As I watch these videos I get myself in a feeling of traveling all around as you do. I recommend you to visit the Gampola tower in Ambuluwawa. The viewpoint there is beautiful, but too windy.
I am from Kandy too. And a big fan of Dale. I have watched almost all the videos of you. Welcome back to Kandy. There is nothing special to see in Udawatta kele. These small deer you can see every where now. They are coming to my garden also. Have a nice time in Kandy Dale.
After some time there was a rain today in Kandy. You have brought the blessings of rain to Kandy. Thank you for your hard work to improve the tourist industry of our beautiful country Dale.
Lovely lake view when you did see the right view point
Wow... it is great to know that you are having a fabulous time in Kandy. I was born in Kandy. By the way, Kottu is not an original Sri Lankan dish or street food as you call it. It’s originally from South India. The word “Kottu” means ( Left over food) in South India less fortunate people didn’t throw their leftovers. What they did was they made a mix of all what ever that was left from the previous couple of meals and either stir fried them or sautéed them together and ate it as another meal. Kottu was first known to the Sri Lankans through the Tamil community in the early 90s. Since then Kottu has come along way. Real (typical / authentic) Sri Lankan food, to say a few would be, Kiri Bath (Milk rice) rice cooked with coconut milk. Then comes rice and curry (steamed rice consumed with a few curries cooked with authentic Sri Lankan curry powders) boiled grains or sweet potatoes with coconut. Then again, string hoppers came from god knows where. Egg hoppers Of Course came from the Europeans as I was told. So coming back to Kottu, I’m happy that people are full and blessed after a full filling of it. Enjoy Sri Lanka.
That city is so sweet! Get it?
Damn I miss Kandy !!! Lovely Memories Dale !!! THANK YOU !!!
How nice videos u make as sri lankans we never have been places u shown...thoppigala video is very nice...and this video also nice thanks Dale
