    Sri Lankan food is something we rarely discover here in Melbourne.
    Thanks guys for showing the deliciousness of Sri Lankan food. We are now inspired to find the best Sri Lankan food here.
    Love the second place, nothing is better than going to a restaurant where the owner or the staff treats you like a family 😍
    Great food tour video guys 👍

      Melbourne is called little Sri Lanka. So many Sri Lankans restaurants and shops. Go to Dandenong, Nurre Warren. You could buy all these food at MKS at Dandenong and shorteats yum yum.

    Would love to visit Sri Lanka too! It's high up on our bucket list. Eating food with your hands is the best 🤤👋 kotu roti? Looks amazing the texture I can taste it and mixed in with curry must be heavenly. Chopped up leek potato n jackfruit what vegetables never sounded so good. Kingfish is a lot like sword fish top notch comparison! 😁👍

      @FoodandFootprints  5 років тому +8

      You guys will LOVE Sri Lanka! It was one of our favorite trips so far and we’ll definitely be back.
      Love eating with hands! That kottu roti has such a wonderful texture and flavor.
      Funny you say that about the veggies. We’ve said that Sri Lanka may be one of the only places we could ever be vegetarian.
      Thanks! Hadn’t had kingfish before, but that meaty texture immediately reminded me of swordfish

    Never tried sri lankan food. Looks so connected with mother nature and earth with the display of it with it in the banana leaf, the incorporation of the warm spices, comforting grounding dal, sweet tangy of the fruit, and curried vegetables etc. The lady at the second restaurant , so hospitable and lovely. The last restaurant wow with the decor, love the natural textures of your tea mugs and clay like water pitcher. Enjoyed watching you two together and the love between you ❤ ❤. The wu-tang murals, the skyline with the bridges and the water, the NY ( staten island experience. Both of you are werking them sunglasses can look like sunglass models. Love the sunglasses too. Just listening to you guys and feel like we went on food experience adventure with you both. Everything about this video was love!! 👌.

    • @FoodandFootprints
      @FoodandFootprints  5 років тому +2

      Thank you so much, Grace! You should try Sri Lankan food sometime - it is so flavorful. She really made our visit special with her hospitality.
      Haha thank you! Once you find shades that work for you, you keep rolling with them.
      We had so much fun filming this and exploring Staten Island. Visiting the Wu-Tang mural in Park Hill was a must!
