Sri
Lanka Foods & Beverages
Food and Beverage Food is high adventure in Sri Lanka.
However a conservative visitor could always have a wide
choice of western food served with typical Sri Lanka
charm.
However no visitor would like to miss the variety of
fresh seafood from the seas around us – shrimp, crabs,
lobster, cuttlefish, seer – the king of Sri Lanka fish
and many other varieties too numerous to mention. Fruits
of all tastes and sizes ranging from the luscious pineapple,
to mangoes, mangosteens, bananas, (over 15 varieties
) papaws ever so sweet, avocadoes, oranges, durians,
passion fruit, and an assortment of several others will
satisfy even the most fastidious palate.
Typical Sri Lankan food – the rice and curry, hoppers,
string-hoppers, milk rice and several varieties of sweetmeats
and desserts-are a gourmet’s delight.
Speciality restaurants serving Chinese, Japanese, Indian,
Korean, Italian, Indonesian, French, and Germen cuisine
are found in the city of Colombo. Fast Food restaurants
are available in the cities.
Cocktail and punches prepared from the local drink arrack,
a product of the coconut palm tree, have always been
a great favourite.
The locally brewed beer is equal to the best in the
world.
Poolside buffets and barbecues, Sri Lanka nights when
Sri Lankan food is served under starry skies and a tropical
moon make dining a pleasure garnished with a touch of
romance. |
