- Koggala , Sri Lanka - Local Sri Lankan Family Invites Me To Their House
I got invited by a village family a few weeks ago ➡ • Sri Lanka Village Fami...
I got invited by a subscriber of the channel here in Koggala, Sri Lanka. We had super delicious Sri Lankan food and I was able to get to know their lovely family. Experiences like this are really memorable for me here in Sri Lanka, so I am super thankful for that.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Sri Lanka, making Sri Lanka travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Sri Lanka. I will be traveling Sri Lanka, showing you around local places and try lots of different Sri Lankan food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Sri Lanka now from a more authentic local point of view.

@@KenAbroad try to go see turtles and whales.turtles lay their eggs in this month.you can see them in this area.
@@KenAbroad 👍👍👍😊
Watching from India. I have spent a lot of time in this very beautiful country. Sri Lankan people are very humble and hospitable. I loved staying in this Gods own country every minute was special
"God's own country" haha I like that. Glad you enjoyed your stay in Sri Lanka and hope you get the chance to visit again 😊
That is the truth dear...
Thank you vidyut
thank you so much for your lovely comment dear Vidyut SL IN
@@KD-zj4ye I will surely visit your beautiful country again soon. For me Sri Lanka is my second home.
This time in our country having somany problems but peoples still living with happiness ..respect to thems how they treat to you .❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
It shows the true nature of the people!! RESPECT from Thailand 🇹🇭
@@jomontanee 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
It s true, Sri Lankan people mostly are very kind, the reason why I have visited this island many times….! They are indeed amazing people..! I even made friends with Sri Lankan people during my many trips & our friendships are continuing until now..! :)
Come again
she is such a bubbly happy personality. love it
Oh wow....What a wonderful day to be invited by a subsciber to her house for a scrumptious meal. See how hospitable Sri Lankans are !!! 👍👍👏
She’s Amazing with her Smile & very good English ( what a hospitality) salute for the way she is, I’m proud as a Sri Lankan, God bless her family, love from UK
It’s so nice to see this family treating you to such a wonderful meal, bless them. Also nice: to see you eating with your hands; it reminds me so much of my time with my dear Indian friend in England.
Thanks for promoting srilankan tourism industry
What a lovely family. I love those pots. Thank you Ken for sharing this moment with us and thank you to the family. Learning about food and culture of other countries is my favorite way to relax.
very nice of them to take you in to their home for an authentic Sri Lankan meal. Shows the kindness of this country. Cheers Ken
Home cooked food is the best, well said, Ken!! What a great experience staying in this type of homestay with a family where you can see how food is prepared and you even give a helping hand. 👍👏 Guess you have gained a lot of knowledge, right? From watching how a coconut plucker climbed up the tree, how he plucked the fruits and lastly how to remove the coconut husk. Good of you to enquire how to obtain coconut milk. It would be better if she were to demonstrate it. Wooooow...that set of claypots and plates are super beautiful...am loving them.
Great video !! Great energy, can feel the joy, fun and happiness. Thank you so much for your hard work, Ken.
You continue to inspire me Ken!!!! Sri Lanka was not even on my list to visit but now it IS!! Kob Khun Krub! I will definitely visit this homestay also. I continue to LOVE your raw footage showing your authentic emotions and thoughts. This particular episode has ignighted my desire to have a FARMSTAY in ISAAN. I am currently in the USA but returning to Phuket next week as I was discouraged on our farm in Buriram. I think after staying in Phuket for a year, I may return to our Farm in Buriram and pursue the dream of an authentic Isaan Farmstay. You will always have a standing invitation to it as YOU have entertained and broadened my horizons ! TY!!!!
Happy to hear that! Thanks a lot 🙌😊 enjoy your time in phuket 💪
So proud of you Disni ❤
Wow, you're super lucky to have a such a tasty meal and pleasant place to stay.
Have more and more natural local people's home made food and experience their lifestyle or local way of living.
I love the way that lady speaks ❤️🙏 excellent family 🤝
yeah so sweet my friend
Thats my sister♥️
@@parasathuwijethunga4035 i wish some day bro💪💪thanks💪join me sometimes
@@WalkWithRooha sure thing sister, thanks for the invitation ♥️
@@parasathuwijethunga4035 thank you so much for your kind answer
You become so beloved by Sri Lanka!!! 😍❤️✨🌟
After watching this vdo I feel that if you like you should be a teacher. Why? Because you have so many real life stories to tell to our children. To embrace the world, to face life at face value, to take risks and TO TRUST PEOPLE’s GOODNESS. A teacher like you can inspire hundreds youths to be a decent human beings. 💗💕🙏🙏
Oh a teacher? I don't know but I take that as a compliment, thanks 😊
It seems to be a very nice place to stay few nights. The owners of the Adara Guest House seems very kind hearted hospitable people. I can’t wait to come to Sri Lanka for a vacation. Great video Ken.
Thanks for this wonderful video. It's lovely to see u being invited into d locals home. D home made food looked so authentic, served in clay pots. How quaint.
Lovely to see Sri Lankan hospitality at it's best Ken. The clay pots are beautiful and the food looked so delicious. Great home and garden they have.
Her smile is so beautiful. 🥺
yeah my friend 🥺🥺
Aww she is my sister♥️. Thanks for the complement
Hi Ken. Don't plan to leave sri lanka. Stay here the rest of the month . You will adapt to the electricity problem like us & it will be a new experience to you like us 🤗❤️

@@KenAbroad So happy to hear it Ken! Thank you very much on behalf of all Sri Lankans. 🇱🇰 Stay safe & blessed ❤

Next time come my house 🏡 bro I arengmant sum dinner 🥘 arugambey 🙂
It's always nice to enjoy some local hospitality & experiencing their daily lives as well. Yup, nothing like home-cooked food / meal....I approve...As always, stay safe , be vigilant, take care mate.
Sehr sympathische Menschen! Best wishes
If you staying still in southern part of SriLanka, you must try Buffalo Curd with Kithul Treacle, the most popular dessert in Southern SriLanka. You will be amazed 😀
I tried that in another video and yeah it was super delicious 💪
@@KenAbroad Oh yeah I remember now. On the way to Kandy from Immigration Office. 😀
@@kasunwarnakulasuriya8118 exactly 😄😊
@@KenAbroad but the curd from down South is the best.
@Thiru SambuYour head is above the clouds.
Wow such a lovely family. So cheerful, her laughter is so contagious & she is so warm. Ken you look so at home there. You look more relaxed in their home. How lovely😘
Wow! Nice cuisine👌Thanks Ken, nice info about SriLanka. I'm motivated and surely visit SriLanka in near future. 😀🤞🍀
Yeh as a sri lankan i really appreciate if you visut my paradise you are warmly welcome
@@egodagemedi5793 thank you Egodage Medi. Surely I'll visit in some months🙏😇❣. Kindly mention your place name. I'll be grateful!
Beautiful people of Sri Lanka ❤
Luckily , you see kind heart people from Srilanka. You are young , your life has to move on let the world know how simple life from these people live peaceful without material or money and share happiness without anything in return.
What a beautiful family and a lovely meal. And the views from the house wow
All the "safety"that he need ....was bowing to the tree, three times ! ( According to Sri Lankan labour safety department )😇😇😇
@@gerardfernon3339 it's a formal way of showing respect ...A cultural thing . It can be religious... like praying God to protect himself whatever the religion he believing in or just showing respect to the nature :)
@@gerardfernon3339 That actually isnt a religious practice. They used to bow as a respect to the tree. He gonna take something out from the tree, so paying the tribute.
@@imsarajayasinghe3574 you must be fun at parties 😂😂😂
i can just imagne doing something like this in the uk health and safety would be after him because they have become silly .
@@gerardfernon3339 bringing the hands together like that is a commonly used gesture in south and southeast Asia. It is used in 3 situations.
1) As a greeting - Sri Lankans do it when they say Ayubowan (or Wanakkam in Tamil), Indians do it when they say Namaste, Thais do it when they say Sawadee.
2) As a means of showing respect and gratitude - When you show respect to an elder you bow down and do that gesture. People in rural Sri Lanka do it to pay gratitude to the tools they use for their livelihood. A farmer would pay gratitude to his tools and cattle using that gesture before he starts plowing his field, and in this video the coconut plucker is being grateful to the tree.
3) when praying - Buddhists use it when praying to the Buddha, Hindus use it when praying to their Gods, and I think Christians use it too sometimes.
So proud of you Disni & family ❤️
Thanks Ken.So interesting 👍 VDO,Lovely Family 👪
Wow mouth watering program 😋 I am so glad that you have enjoyed with a lovely family with the delicious food. Stay safe and carry on your good work ❤️👍🙏
Visit us in koggala - adara guest house koggala ♥️

When she was frying the onions, I swear, I could smell it, and actually, instinctively, tried to get a whiff. :D
Hi Ken 👋🏻 wow...this is super aroi makmak 👍🤣 I'm drooling here watching all the homecook dishes very much similar to Malaysian food maybe a bit different in the preparations , this definitely feast for the eyes 😅 beautiful dining area with windows all around , you can see the amazing view wow...plus 5-star service. Your room looks comfy , bright and clean 👍 I love the design of the ventilation holes for air it reminds me of my grandmother's house

The young Coconuts and king coconuts are.for the water. The mature Coconuts used for the coconut.milk.,.and the dry coconuts are for the coconut Oil... Presently Srilanka is going through a crisis,but don't let that worry you..

Hi Issa nice to see you man 😄. Things have gotten so messed up in Sri Lanka comparison to the good old days when Jhonny and the guys were there. With all the power cuts and long queues, we are moving forward anyhow.
@@harshakumara970 Heyyyy.... Sup bro, 😜👊 long time no see 😄. Yeah i know. Things are going sideways. 😐 ලෝකල් පුටින් seems to have no idea how to run the country. Inflation has skyrocketed. All the foreign reseeves are gone. Now scrapping the bottom of the barrel. I don't know what the fk is gonna happen or how to get outta this mess. Hope you are doing fine. ✌️🙏
@@nashdapistolshrimp8641 Yes, I'm doing fine. A lot of our old friends are here, but not all of them.

beautiful place and wonderful host
♥️
@Wayne Anthony Holmes im the guy in a black shirt n the lady is my sister . Thank you so much ♥️
beautiful food presentation!
Wonderful family . Very nice experience with locals ..enjoy
Thanks mate♥️
Most travelers like to learn something from research. Why did the coconut water throw away? If he had been allowed to taste the coconut water without throwing it away he would have known something else about the mature coconut. Already he knows the king and young coconut water taste. Thank you all for inviting him. Thanks, Ken too for the nice video.
Appreciate your thought. We wish we had done the same but that was a quick few seconds and not everything goes perfect. 😊
you are a niec guy Ken. lots of love from sri lanka. by the way u shd notice once these ccocnuts are opened, we use coconut scrapers to scrape the coconut. then some people extract the coconut milk by squeezing em manually by mixing the scraped coconut with little amnt of water. or else you can use electric juicer to extract the coconut milk ..!
Welcome to sri lanka. ❤🙏❤
That white bird in the garden is an egret. Koka in Sinhalese
You will only find this kind of hospitality in places like Sri Lanka/India, etc....most Asian countries.
That's a beautiful home.
Thanks mate♥️
It looks like a great guest house with a great family. I will have to note the name down.
Interesting coconut tree at the back yard
I am a Cebuano and as I was watching this video, I am amazed at how hospitable are Sri Lankans. Hope i could see like this in my home country Philippines!
When you eat with hand, mix one curry with small portion of rice and eat. So you can taste each one. Different flavours. Then you can mix and match and see which combination of curries taste great.
I have often found Sri Lankan Sinhalese cuisine of rice and curry is bit dry. Sri Lankan Tamil cuisine rice and curry more watery/gravy heavy.
It's not taboo to eat with left hand if you are left hand dominant person. Some old people might not like it. But generally Sri Lankans are too cool not to offend guests.
Yeah. I haven't actually heard anyone say "Eat only with the right hand." here.
why is it more or less important to eat with right hand if possible ??
@@sweeta17 because Sri Lankans use the left hand to wipe the butt, so that hand is considered unclean.
@@kasunwithana2262 Oh yeah. Completely forgot that. I have heard that before.
@@kasunwithana2262 Not only srilankans
Also coconut drink is the best for health 😁 i dont know why lot of people not drink tht😑
Nice people nice vlog brother stay safe ❤
Great to receive invitation from your subscriber for such a delicious feast. The tree climbing to pluck coconut looks interesting, in Southeast Asia monkeys are also used to pluck coconuts.
Yeah I saw that in Malaysia, monkeys were trained to climb the trees 😲😄
Hello everyone good evening wow it's delicious to eat when you shake hands!!!👌👌👌👌😋😋😋🇵🇭👏👏👏👏👏
nice yummy food :-), very nice people too, :-)
ස්තූතියි 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰👍👍👍
watching from Singapore. what a nice feast! oh, now I miss my home :) I really love those clay pots. miss them so badly. so glad you have experienced this local hospitality.
Lovely family so glad your staying in Siralanka. A lot of youtubers iv been watching have left sadly.
Ken, the brown one with hair is old coconut and the one you drink from the stall is a young coconut.
No, they grow in two different trees
@@deshika27 yes possible but it’s still an old and the other a young coconut
Amezing hospitality.. 👍❤❤❤👍
Loved the video, Ken
amazing vlog☺
Thanks 🙌😊
Go to Umandawa Temple . You will experience different kind of natural food there. I recommend that you must go there.
Sri lanka is the best tourism destination of the world👍👍👍👍
Wonderful family ....❤❤❤👍👍👍
Thank you♥️
@@parasathuwijethunga4035 you most welcome dear
Thank you visit my motherland. God bless
