Due to the Sri Lanka's location, it has absorbed so many influences from neighbouring regions as well as from traders, migrations and culinary influences via the colonial period. South Indian, Indonesian, Malay and Dutch influences mixing in with local Sri Lankan culinary techniques has created quite a unique set of dishes within the culture.
Do not forget a huge influence on the pastries and snacks we call 'short eats' are all influenced by the Portuguese and many more things like language and names! Common misconception is we are called desi's, Sri Lankan's do not consider ourselves desi.
@@greenmachine5600 it's not geography it's culture and history. Bangladesh, Pakistan and India at partition call themselves Desi because they were a part of one nation, Sri Lanka was not in that. Desi stems from desa meaning land or country. Desi is a term unrealized by Tamils and Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. This is not a term known to us, I didn't learn this word until I met Indians, Bengalis and Pakistanis. Please do not tell me what I am, and am not.
@@greenmachine5600 Desi is a cultural term, not geography. Desi is generally associated with India (especially North India), Bangladesh and Pakistan - they're different to Sri Lankan culture which has been influenced by the South Indian and Indonesian cultures. People in Sri Lanka haven't heard of the word, "Desi". People, outside of Asia who are of Sri Lankan descent have heard of the term because it is used by Indians so that term isn't used by Sri Lankans.
I used to live in Sri Lanka and it is so amazing to see you guys representing their cuisine. It is really such delicious South Asian food and deserves to be recognized! :)

It’s the spice used and the strength being mild. Not to strong to dominate the taste, not to spicy to burn your palette- though it can be. It’s the Goldilocks zone
I live in Sri Lanka and there are so many more food dishes I got to try yet. This is a food paradise and it takes a lifetime to try all that since the food culture differs in every corner of the Island.
True. Sri lankas sinhelese housewives cook quite a few authentic curry dishes cooked in clay pots over slow fire. Tender jackfruit ( polos) curry properly seasoned , immerse in thick coconut milk , and cooked for over 3 hours over low fire( using firewood) is a heavenly dish. There's also an array of cooking methods and flavours highlighted when making dishes to go with rice, using scraped fresh coconuts or coconut milk.
I would say that the lamprais (the dish wrapped in a banana leaf) is a symbol of Sri Lanka's multi ethnic heritage. It was created by the Dutch Burgher (mixed Sri Lankan and Dutch) Eurasian community and in part based on the Indonesian lemper. It incorporates elements that emerged in the country's distinct ethnic groups and now eaten by all groups such as the frikadellar, cutlets and shrimp paste.
I enjoyed this one so much! I want to try Sri Lankan food so much! I am convinced that Sri Lankan people are the best looking people on the planet. Thank you Fung Bros!
Hello there, I'm Sri Lankan - and thank you so much for the compliment. If you're ever down in Lanka, hit me up and I'll invite you for some fabulous Sri Lankan cuisine courtesy of my family :)
I think it's worth pointing out that Sri Lanka is a multi-ethnic country and despite historical and modern-day issues, Sri Lankan culture is "Sri Lankan" due to the cultural influences from the Sinhalese, Tamil, Moor, Malay and Burgher/Eurasian communities. Not to mention the other smaller groups like the indigenous Veddas, Chinese and Boras among others. Sri Lankan culture wouldn't be "Sri Lankan" culture without all of these groups.
@@thendino1 Yes with beaches and super cool people. Sri Lankans don't feel too much connection with India although many similaries. Like Canada and the US.

As long as there is racism and fake news among races, its easy for the policians to be in the high places. It is done in every party including Tamil and sinhala. Also I should say we should think about our motherland instead of fighting for races and religions. The main reason why this country is not being developed is we don't have unity among races and religion. Also if take a country like USA or India they consider them as Indian or Americans, but here we first talk about our race not about the country. As I know ealam tamils need to separate and establish a new state in SriLanka but think if we all get together and live in one country with peace and unity by helping each other, we can easily develop our country.

We should get rid of his island mentality and that's how we can achieve our targets as a united country but as long as Sinahalese, Tamils, Muslims work for their benefits, its hard to achieve. ස්තුතියි/ நன்றி
Sri Lanka has put it's own sping on Chinese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Mongolian, Indian food. There's a big difference in the flavour and it's sooo good.
Thank you very much for trying Sri Lankan food, my beautiful native country. Sri Lanka is home to many religions, ethnic groups, and languages. In addition to the majority Sinhalese, it is home to large groups of Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils, Moors, Burghers, Malays, and the aboriginal Vedda. Being colonized by three different cultures has influenced the culture of Sri Lanka to the point that all three are still present in the country today to a certain extent. I welcome you to my motherland Sri Lanka, Taprobane, or the famous "Pearl of the Indian Ocean" to explore more about our habits of generosity, kindness, food, culture, and Hospitality 🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰💓🇱🇰
Here it's more North Sri Lankan food means Tamil(South Indian style). If you want authentic Sri Lankan food best place is Staten Island NYC. Bay Street and Victory Blvd. And Lakruwana has the best Buffet 👌 on weekends.
Biryani was brought into Sri Lanka by the South Indian Muslims who were trading in the Northern part of Sri Lanka and in Colombo in the early 1900s.[citation needed] In Sri Lanka, it is Buryani, a colloquial word which generated from Buhari Biryani. In many cases, Sri Lankan biryani is much spicier than most Indian varieties. Side dishes may include acchar, Malay pickle, cashew curry and mint sambol. Biriyani isnt originally sri lankan its only very recently its come.
Kothu roti is originally came from a city call Barticaloa. East coast of Sri Lanka, where I'm from. It's a late night snack and it's street food too. The roll with egg call "methi vedi".
thank you so much! I am a Singhalese American... my family is Portuguese (Correas) too. This video made my achichi and seeya so happy they live in Negegoda and I only see them once a year and I do have my favorite kottu roti vendor down the street from their insanely beautiful house.
You should open a branch in Toronto? we do not have a really good authentic Sri Lankan restaurant in Toronto. Next time when i come to NY, definitely I want to visit this place.
If you are looking for a land of humble people with great hospitality, Sri Lanka is the perfect match.................... Nothing like clay pot cooked dishes and digging through all the curries.............................. ............That is the Sri Lankan way................heavenly.
I love the vedio!! Takes you down memory lane! Sri Lankan food is the best!! Especially the crispy hoppers and the lamprie!! I’m so glad you guys did this vedio, thanks Fung brothers and shanuk! I guess no matter how globalised the world will go.. where ever we live in.. our identities will stay as our root.. and also embrace cross culture!
The most popular Sri Lankan food which foreigners and many people are attracted to with a single taste is Kottu. If anyone visits Sri Lanka, you should try that delicious food also its addictive.

I'd love to go back to Sri Lanka. Some of the nicest beaches and scenery. The people are lovely and welcoming OH the food is top notch 👌
A little correction about the consumption of pork in India. It's widely consumed in most North Eastern states,Goa,parts of Karnataka and Kerala

The most popular Sri Lankan food which foreigners and many people are attracted to with a single taste is Kottu. If anyone visits Sri Lanka, you should try that delicious food also its addictive.
