Sri Lankan Food in Business Class 🇱🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 лип 2024
- I travelled to Sri Lanka for the first time in 3 years, but only for a couple of hours. I used Sri Lankan Airlines to get from Dubai to another country, with a quick connection in Colombo.
It's been a while since I had some good, authentic Sri Lankan food, so I was looking forward to some during my journey. The national carrier of any country will always have some typical food from that country as a meal option.
I had indented to get some British food in my belly first. The last time I flew from DXB to CMB I was able to use the British Airways lounge at Dubai Airport. Sri Lankan Airlines and BA are both part of the Oneworld Alliance. If you're flying with an airline that's in an alliance, and you have lounge access through your status or flight ticket, you can use any lounge belonging to other airlines in that same alliance.
Unfortunately the BA lounge was closed. I think they only open it at times when there's actual BA flights leaving from Dubai. So, I had to use the Ahlan Lounge, which I could have used even if I wasn't travelling in business class as it's one of those third party lounges where you can get in with the Priority Pass or Lounge Key that you can for free with any decent credit card.
Usually those third party lounges aren't as good as the airline lounges, and they're usually crowded as well, since so many people have free access to them through their credit cards. This Ahlan Lounge was quite crowded but at least the standard of the food was very high and I enjoyed some delicious beef short ribs.
When I went to board my flight to Colombo, the business class queue had already been roped off and there was a huge queue for economy. I just lifted the rope for myself and a lady who was in the same situation as me, and we let ourselves to the front of that big queue.
Fortunately the aircraft was the A330-300, which is the good version of Sri Lankan business class. I've travelled Sri Lankan Airlines in business before and just had a reclining seat with not even any inflight entertainment. On the A330-300 it's the full lie-flat bed, and the seating is in the "wishbone" format, meaning you can have a seat without a neighbour.
Any flight where I don't have to sit next to someone is a good one. And all the better when you have a delicious Sri Lankan meal and fully flat seat.
I chose the lamprais from the dinner menu. Lamprais is a popular Sri Lankan food that was originally introduced by the Dutch Burghers. It's a packet of rice, vegetables and sometimes meat, wrapped in a banana leaf. I can't say that the version I had on the flight was authentic because it was get some rice and vegetables in the usual airplane food container.
The crew were very nice and offered me a second dinner. I was brought some Fish Ambulthiyal. Ambulthiyal is a type of curry where the strong masala turns the fish black. It didn't look too appealing and the first couple of mouthfuls tasted strange, but mixing it in with the vegetables, I really liked it.
After two Sri Lankan dinners and a pot of Ceylon tea, I was ready to nap for the remainder of the flight.
At Colombo airport I visited the Serendib Lounge, which is the official airline lounge for Sri Lankan Airlines. I'd been there on a previous trip and was given a free 15 minute massage in their spa. However, I wasn't able to repeat that experience as their spa was closed during the covid times and never reopened.
I just spent my time in the lounge eating, instead. Some Sri Lankan breakfast food was brought to the buffet just after I arrived and so I was able to enjoy some Milk Rice as well as Sambar and Idli.
The next leg of my journey was again on an A330-300, which I was happy about. This time it was breakfast food that was served and I chose the sweet option. String hoppers filled with jaggery with starfruit jam on the side. One of the tastiest breakfasts I've ever had.
Between the two flights and the lounge, I surely got my fix of delicious Sri Lankan food on this trip.

No coconut water in the flight and the lady the way she responded is not good enough.
I miss Sri Lanka so much, my favorite destination!

Welcome
DALE YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN OUR HEART FROM COUNTRY NEPAL 🇳🇵
We always miss you Until our last breath @dale Phillip❤️🙏🏻
@@AT-up6px what happened bro?😡👊
@@AT-up6px Lmao fr. I think he got really into his feelings tbf us Nepalese people are really patriotic and love anyone that respects and represents our culture and country so ig that's why
@@Gunmin777 until last breath 😂 lol
@@AT-up6px It's not funny to write RIP for someone not dead
Love From Nepal 🇳🇵💌
Sri Lankan Air was definitely awesome and the country was also awesome! Very hospitable people! Cheers Sri Lankan ✌✌
Thank you
@@janakiabeysundera1734 wlc 😍
So funny, Dale has enough food in the lounge for a family of four, but “he’s keeping it nice & light” he says 😂😂😂😂
Dale is a growing boy. He enjoys his meals.
I'm so happy when you picked Jakarta on the Srilanka airport. Thanks for coming to Indonesia again, Dale. 🇮🇩
klo gw suka nonton dale karena semua video dia ada sub indo
@ETAMS komen lu rasis banget macam Indonesia sudah bersih aja dari kemiskinan. Tapi bukti nya rumah kumuh di bawah jembatan dekat stadion JIS yang beberapa hari kemarin dibongkar karena merusak keindahan pemandangan dengan nilai ganti rugi 730 ribu sampai 2 Juta.
@ETAMS belum lagi rumah kumuh di Tanjung Priok, Pulo Gadung, Menteng, dll.
@ETAMS komentar jangan sombong dan takabur lah.... memang Indonesia udah gak ada daerah kumuh / slum ??
Hey dale just wanted to say I’m flying on Sri Lankan and was uncertain of how the carrier was performing, I was glad to see that they are just as hospitable as they used to be. Much love from Australia ❤❤
Sri lankan flight crew are very friendly 💕
Luke seems like such a great guy, I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves
U should comment this on Luke's video
@@cj3091 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why you say wrong Sh for shrilanka , it is S for Sri Lanka.
Wait what, I'm not watching Luke Damant right now? Haha
we hope to see you in Nepal again. Take care and have a good time in Sri-Lanka. cheers! 🇳🇵
wow dale you are going in sri lanka. nice i like your vlog and. sri lanka is very beautiful country. love from nepal🇳🇵🥰
The first lounge is actually quite big and the food looks great!
The service in business class is so great, and the service you get from being a celebrity is even better, haha!
The meals from both airlines were really good and looked delicious!
This journey is a food journey, eat all the way, you are really happy, I am so envious! 👍😄👏
My takeaway from this video is that Dale can eat 20 times a day 😂😂😂
No offense but I can eat more than Dale lol 😂
It’s so interesting to see all the foods you try, it makes me hungry!! btw, this vlog was fire ❤️❤️
Dale, the trick most foreigners miss when eating Sri Lankan food is that you have to mix the dishes in every mouthful to get the best taste. For example if you eat only the milk rice it's too bland in comparison. If you eat only the Ambulthiyal it's too overpowering. If you eat only the dhal it's not as good. But when you mix all three it's superb. You got to do this every mouthful for the best meal experience. Same goes for most other Sri Lankan meals.
Also if you are using your hands locals usually use a handwash or soap to thoroughly clean their hands before and after a meal. It's quite alarming to see foreigners use hands to eat without cleaning them properly. :)
Ps. Looking forward to your next long stay in Sri Lanka. Greetings and cheers from Sri Lanka!
Danuke I think Dale forgot his manners for awhile.😀
Srilanka is known for delicious cuisine and Srilankan Airlines is known for its amazing hospitality.
I’m from srilanka. I’m glad you enjoyed ❤️

There’s just something that makes your videos addicting. Looking forward to more videos :)
I didn’t realise how quickly 42 mins flew.. as usual, great great video ❤
8:55 "Ambul thiyal" is NOT made with tamarind paste! It's made using fish of the tuna family and a seasoning paste of pepper and "Goraka" (Garcinia Cambojia).
The term "Ambul thiyal" loosely translates to "Sour-fish dish." The Goraka acts as the souring agent, and it has a very distinctive smokey - sour flavour.
my fv fish dish is that
you kept us waiting on this one dale
always :)
How nice of that lady to offer you an invitation to her village after only meeting her. Amazing
love eating dinner with you dale! as always an amazing video :)
Love from NEPAL 🇳🇵❤️

Nice to see dale on adventure again, keep up the good work. can't wait to see Jakarta adventure.
Welcome to Indonesia again Dale 🙏
I suggest you come to East Java ( Malang, Batu and Bromo mountain) which is have nice and cool temperature.
But, it's coming rainy season now, so will be nice to go everywhere. I mean, even Jakarta will be not as hot as dry season 😅.
Just hope you enjoy your trips everywhere in Indonesia 🇮🇩
You'll come to Jakarta???? I'm so happy that you picked Jakarta on the board sign! Please come to Bogor, come to Curug (Waterfall) and have a great culinary experience there (Soto Mie Bogor, Toge Goreng, Bakso). Ah, but wherever you go I will always wait for your upcoming video. Enjoy your adventure in Indonesia. 😍
I love bakso and I ve been to Bogor...👍
