<\/span><\/h2>\nKottu is a typical Sri Lankan dish and consists of vegetables and small pieces of roti. You can add egg, chicken or fish. All ingredients are put together and baked on a large baking tray and then everything is chopped into pieces on a large chopping board with a huge knife. The best local kottu can be found along the road in one of the local restaurants where only locals come.<\/p>\n
Tip: Ask your tuktuk driver to take you to a local restaurant. We have done this a couple of times and the food here was very tasty and super cheap!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/span>2. Devilled Rice<\/span><\/h2>\nMost restaurants in Sri Lanka serve Devilled Rice. This dish owes its name to the fact that it is very spicy! Usually you can pick between chicken or prawns that are fried in a spicy red sauce. The sauce is served with white rice. Don’t skip this dish when you are in Sri Lanka!<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Fresh smoothies<\/span><\/h2>\nYou can buy fresh smoothies and juices on every corner of the street. Some restaurants have smoothies on the menu, but in other places you can create your own smoothie. How great is that? Especially on a hot summer’s day! You know what’s also great here? They mostly use iron straws instead of plastic ones! This limits plastic use.<\/p>\n

<\/span>4. Hoppers<\/span><\/h2>\nI’ve never seen this dish before: hoppers! Hoppers are a kind of bowl-shaped thin pancakes that come in all shapes and sizes. You can choose a “Hopper Natural”, but also a stuffed hopper. A hopper with egg, vegetables or yogurt, for example. I loved them!<\/p>\n
