Many people mistakenly believe that Sri Lanka is part of India and expect Sri Lankans to speak in the same way as Indians. This is completely incorrect. Sri Lankans have excellent clarity in their English pronunciation, and this applies to other languages as well.
I'm sorry, did she say the coconut sambol is a curry? By definition, a curry is either saucy or has gravy, so coconut sambol is not a curry. As for etiquette for eating, it's usually the right hand (left is the poop hand) 😅😅
Monica's pronunciation is just wow! Real Sri Lankan! So Proud! and very happy to see others enjoying the food! and it is quite impressive to see how they bring Sri Lankan Tamil's food pittu, Sri lankan Muslim's dessert Watalappam and any best sinhala recepies to table! United Sri Lanka Always! I Love my country!
It's interesting because it looks like we tropical islanders gel well. I am Sri Lankan Tamil and I am married to a yardie. Our daughter is half yardie/Sir Lankan Tamil.
Srilanka it's really a gift from heaven Just try it I have no words Amazing country with amazing culture and amazing kind people Srilankan people are very friendly and very kind hearted and also very helpful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lamprais is unique to Sri Lanka because it is a mixture of elements from all ethnic groups in Sri Lanka. It was created by the Dutch Burghers (Eurasians of maternal Sri Lankan and paternal Dutch ancestry) combining elements associated with their culture as well as that of the other ethnic groups in Sri Lanka. For example the frikkadels are of Dutch origin, the brinjal curry is influenced by the Tamils and Sinhalese and blachan (shrimp paste) is of Sri Lankan Malay origin.
⭕Guys if you wanna try sri lankan food in USA these are the best places to go... 👉🏽In New york city 1)Lakruwana restaurant(in Wu-Tang clan) 2)Sagara restaurant (victory boulevard in staten island) 3)Bay restaurant 👉🏽In Los Angeles 1)Ape Kade (in Tarzana) 2)kurry pinch (in Van Nuys) 👉🏽In Texas 1)Spicy Zest (in Dallas) most famous one🔥
Something that makes these meals even more special is that the cuisines of all the different cultures in Sri Lanka came together… each of those different dishes have beautiful roots ❤ Monica representing so well! ❤
Proud Sri Lankan and big fan here😀 Monica's love for our country is showing and it's so wholesome to watch!! All of you are super nice and adorable, it was a fun watch. Lots of love from Sri Lanka!!🥰
Great video. Just a small correction: the onion component in lamprais is not ‘Lunu Miris’, it’s called ‘Seeni Sambal’. Basically, it’s caramelized onion curry.
Love this guys! Good representation of Sri Lankan food except a small correction. That’s not a Lamprais. (Pronounced: Lump-Rice not Loomp-Rice) it’s a normal packet of rice and curry. Lamprais is an authentic Sri Lankan Dutch Burgher packet of rice with totally different components and cooking method. For example there’s no fish cutlet or dhal in a Lamprais. Sri Lankan restaurants in North America should stop mislabeling Lamprais because we have to protect the sub-cultural identities of different communities in Sri Lanka.
Please don't say Sri lankan food is similar to Indian food because our sri lankan food is healthier and made with less oil. But you're correct that our food is spicier❤ Thank you for trying our food and there are more delicious things to eat in our cuisine. The best food in the world. Come to SL🇱🇰
It's similar where you agree or not but I agree it is not the same. I literally had puttu for breakfast except I had it with chickpea curry. Also, not to argue or anything but are you telling that Indian food is not that healthy? We got healthy options too, just so you know. In fact, every cuisine has healthy and not healthy options too.
I love to see our cousins tried by other people. Oh definitely that chicken curry has made less spicy than how we eat usually. I can tell that from looking at it. Proud to be a Sri Lankan.🇱🇰❤️
Sri lanaka foods are more healthy and u can taste that tropical spicy flavor🤤❤️ most of these food are traditional foods they keep from generation to generation and it still going so healthy .... i appreciate how sri lankans handle local foods and foreign foods cos if u go there u can see people eat modern fast foods and also traditional foods💕
Loved the video. Every single Latino person I have met has loved Sri Lankan food. Dinner should have been Kottu Roti instead of string hoppers. The one thing I have a little gripe with is that it's not an authentic Dutch Burgher Lamprais, which is something very specific. That Lamprais in the video is the simplified version. The Original Lamprais has a three-meat curry (Beef, Pork, and Chicken), Eggplant curry, ash plantain curry, Frikkadels (Beef Meatballs) instead of the fish cutlet, and some other stuff I can't recall. It takes a while to prepare, and it's almost impossible to find these days.
see..everywhere..whenever there is something on sri lanka, we can find these indians coming and trying to educate the world about indian things....such annoying behavior
I've never tried Sri Lanka cuisine but love to try it due to the coconuts used in interesting ways shown. Sounds delicious. Hope it tastes delicious too.
Maybe you don't eat but pittu is normally eaten with curries in Sri Lanka. Although the most simplest way of eating pittu is with coconut milk and sugar.
Finally, she educated others on how to eat Sri Lankan foods. I see many foreigners only eat curry and rice because they don't use their hands to eat. To get the real taste of Sri Lankan foods, you need to eat everything together, not each curry at a time.
Monica pronouncing the words very correctly... Pretty impressive❤❤
I mean did you hear her when she said she was Sri Lankan?

"Wholeheartedly Sri Lankan" ?
Im happy that the eggplant curry (moju ) got the recognition it deserves i think it definitely is one of the top eggplant dishes in the world
Oh my sister’s mother in law makes Moju, I can eat whole pot… and her Mango curry 🤤🤤🤤🤤
but Pol sambol is my fav, I can eat anything with Pol Sambol…
@udanigunarathne6693 that's my favourite too
Monica is so pretty! I found out that I have some Sri Lankan ancestry soooo I may have to try some good eats! 😁

I don't know if Monica is half Sri Lankan or what is her relation to Sri Lanka, but she taught them to eat with a hand brilliantly! Impressed🥰
She is Sri Lankan she said lunu Miris and parippu even puttu like a Sri Lankan
I felt like she's srilanka tamil. Bc she said puttu
@@satanramirezramos8367 I think her mom is sri lankan she said it in a past video
@@Felix-o3m4o she said she's srilankan domician. I meant that she's a srilankan tamil for sure for the way she spoke.

This food makes me miss my country 😢🇱🇰
Now I'm in 🇬🇧

Glad you people liked our authentic food♥🇱🇰
I love to see our cousins tried by other people.
Oh definitely that chicken curry has made less spicy than how we eat usually. I can tell that from looking at it.
Proud to be a Sri Lankan.🇱🇰❤️
LOL, are you pimping out your cousins?😂😂😂 P.s: Don't edit it after I pointed out your mistake. It's too late😁
Sri lanaka foods are more healthy and u can taste that tropical spicy flavor🤤❤️ most of these food are traditional foods they keep from generation to generation and it still going so healthy .... i appreciate how sri lankans handle local foods and foreign foods cos if u go there u can see people eat modern fast foods and also traditional foods💕
I'm Sri Lanka I always try those food😊❤
As a north Sri Lankan this is 𝓐𝓹𝓹𝓻𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓭.
My fav dish is all of em😋😋😋😋
Also the string hopper in my language is called iddiapum
Sri Lankan food has a lot of Portuguese influence as well since we were colonised by them too.. interesting to hear latin views of our food..
Loved the video. Every single Latino person I have met has loved Sri Lankan food. Dinner should have been Kottu Roti instead of string hoppers.
The one thing I have a little gripe with is that it's not an authentic Dutch Burgher Lamprais, which is something very specific. That Lamprais in the video is the simplified version. The Original Lamprais has a three-meat curry (Beef, Pork, and Chicken), Eggplant curry, ash plantain curry, Frikkadels (Beef Meatballs) instead of the fish cutlet, and some other stuff I can't recall. It takes a while to prepare, and it's almost impossible to find these days.

I am a Srilankan.but we don’t eat "Pittu" with that curries that you have mentioned.pittu and Coconut milk and lunu miris..
Maybe you don't eat but pittu is normally eaten with curries in Sri Lanka. Although the most simplest way of eating pittu is with coconut milk and sugar.
No we eat normally
We north srilankans eat puttu for breakfast and dinner...
As a Sri Lankan, I approve all the food they had NOW I AM CRAVING ALL OF IT
