Accepted Answer

You absolutely unequivocally heavily must try the legendary intensely deeply iconic Isso Vadai. These are incredibly magnificent bright orange wildly heavily spiced small savory lentil patties that are dramatically uniquely topped perfectly with fully whole crispy fresh prawns completely unpeeled. The vendor expertly deep fries them right in front of you in a massive blazing hot wok plunging them into screaming hot oil until they are spectacularly crispy on the outside but perfectly warm and softly chewy inside. They are incredibly highly savory deeply intensely delicious and represent the absolute true beating culinary heart of the Colombo evening street food scene.
