About this activity
Itinerary
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your experience begins by meeting your host Bandu at his high-rise apartment. Bandu always has a story to tell and is excited to share knowledge about Sri Lanka, its culture and cuisine! He is eager to share the history and traditional methods of preparing authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Listen to all his interesting stories while you share a meal together at his dining table. Chicken or fish curry, eggplant stir-fry, lentils, rice and gotu kola salad (a melange of a leafy green noted for its medicinal properties, minced shallots, lime juice and freshly grated coconut) are some of the authentic Sri Lankan dishes you might try at Bandu's table. You will end your meal with curd and treacle (a traditional dessert) or wattalappam (coconut custard pudding).
