You unequivocally must try a traditional Sri Lankan Rice and Curry. It is not just one dish but a massive central mountain of rice surrounded by several deeply flavorful heavily spiced vegetable curries creamy lentil dhal and a fiery fresh coconut sambol. It is the absolute heartbeat of local cuisine.

For a completely unique breakfast experience you must actively seek out String Hoppers. They are delicate steamed nests of rice flour noodles perfectly paired with a rich savory potato curry and intensely spicy onion relish. It is completely different from any Western breakfast and utterly delicious.
