If you have a sweet tooth, you must try Kokis. It is a deep fried, crispy, flower shaped sweet made from rice flour and coconut milk. You will often see vendors frying them fresh on the street during festival seasons.

Another incredible treat is Lavariya. It is a sweet, stuffed string hopper filled with a rich mixture of caramelized coconut and jaggery palm sugar. They are perfect with a cup of strong Ceylon tea.
