Today we set out on an epic street food tour in Kandy to taste the best street food in Sri Lanka. Kandy is home to some popular Sri Lankan foods, and we kicked off our Sri Lankan food tour tasting some delicious traditional Sri Lankan curry. The Sri Lankan curry at Mandiya is cooked fresh each morning. With so much Sri Lankan curry to choose from, you’re bound to find a Sri Lankan curry that you love. Being the national dish of Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan curry is definitely a top Sri Lankan food in the country.
We continued our search of the top Sri Lankan foods and explored the local areas of Kandy, tasting local short eats, going through the Kandy Central Market, and tasting the rich and flavourful Ceylon tea.
Kandy is home to some of the top Sri Lankan foods, making it a must stop for the best foods to eat in Sri Lanka.
We finished off our street food tour in Kandy, Sri Lanka tasting the unique achcharu and an insane cheese kottu roti. Kottu roti is a popular Sri Lankan street food and something you must try, we couldn’t believe how cheesy this kottu roti was!
We hope you enjoy THE street food tour of Kandy, Sri Lanka as we explore the city and taste Sri Lankan curry and cheese kottu roti, as well as the unique and strange wood apple. We had such a great day tasting the top Sri Lankan food of Kandy.

![EP 09: THINGS GOT WEIRD IN KANDY SRI LANKA 🇱🇰 (we've never done anything like this) [KANDY VLOG]](/img/n.gif)
What's up everyone!
One of our favourite Sri Lankan dishes is Kottu Roti. So we're wondering, where's the best Kottu Roti in Sri Lanka?
Thanks for watching! 🧡😊
Hi guys loving sirilanka!!
I know a really realy black siri Lankan friend who cooks amaising!! Actually got me into indian cooking. Now its all i cook.
@@nathangrueber9834 Sri Lankan food is incredible, we totally agree! You must cook up some tasty dishes😋🤤
@HungryTwoTravel Upali's by Nawaloka serves scrumptious kottu. I suggest you to try their mutton kottu if u are red meat lovers. My favorite is Pillawoos at kollupitiya. Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka guys! Love this vlog.
@@lankancookbook9141 Oh yum, mutton kottu!! That sounds incredible! Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching and commenting 😊
If you can visit dutch resort kapungoda negombo ❤
Cinnamon actually originated from Sri Lanka. It's the only place where you will find pure cinnamon.
Yes, the cinnamon tree is abundant here and the cinnamon is truly first class. We love how it is used in so much of the cooking, it adds such a wonderful flavour🤤 Thanks for watching and commenting!
As a Sri Lankan I never got hungry this much after seeing a foreign guy's food tour video like your video..this is super tempting... now I'm on my way out to order a cheese kottu
Thank you so much for your kind words. Sri Lanka is full of some incredible food, we're loving it so much! The people have been amazing as well. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, and enjoy that cheese kottu 😉🤤😋
Same bro ❤
Love from SRI LANKA 🇱🇰
Watching from Toronto. Miss my hometown Kandy
Kandy is such a great city, we can understand why you would miss it. Hopefully you can visit again soon! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting 😊
The first ball like food which was coated with roasted rice flour that you tried is called " Aggala " . And it is made up with roasted steamed rice flour , shredded and may be roasted coconut (because it is needed to be kept for a long period of time without deteriorating ) , treacle or caramelized sugur syrup, pinch of salt and pepper to give a little punch to that ball. Normaly sri lankan people make them for new year festival as a sweet and also as a good supplement when the SL budhdhists climb the "Sri padha " or in other words " Adam's peak. The peppery heat will help to settle down the coldness the people will get when climbing the Sri padha.
Wow, that's amazing, thanks so much for the information, Nipun! We really appreciate it😊
As a Srilankan proud about my country foods & nothing can beat it💪🏻
There's incredible food here in the country😊
@@HungryTwoTravel 😊
That sugary ball is "AGGALA" made out of dried rice , scraped coconut and sugar.
One of my favourites and missed sri lankan food badly

Cinnamon is originated from Sri Lanka and safer to use than cassia. Cassia contained toxic called coumarin and it can be harmful to liver in long run.
Ambul mean sour in Sinhalese. That specific curry is from sothern part of Sri Lanka and special ingredient is Garcinia(Goraka).
Yes you're so right! We love the cinnamon in all the Sri Lankan cooking, so good😋
Great food tour nice views your videos are the best ❤❤❤i like it 😊

Thank you for watching😊
Welcome to kandy.❤
Thank you so much!
Travelling Sri Lanka
Such as incredible country, isn't it??
My favourite thing is when you eat things that you don’t know what they are and just describe them and guess what they are. So fun!!
It's fun for us too! It's an experience to just guess what it is like that, makes the experience something else😝 thanks so much for watching and commenting, Krista! 🧡 You're the best
Btw you're guessing most ingredients correctly 😊
Glad you enjoyed Brother ❤❤🙏
Thank you so much
Hello there! 😊
I really love the architecture of the places you went to, historical charm is just oozing. It makes me think that the vibes would just take the dining experience a notch higher. The train ride looks epic too. 🧡✨️
As for the food, I didn't expect they would serving something with pork in that part of the globe. It was a nice personal discovery for me. Annnddd... now I know that there's also a wood apple, I previously only knew about velvet apple and star apple. Makes me wonder what other (x) apples might still be out there. 😊
I also like the place setup for local women to sell native delicacies. I agree with Steph that it looks like a great place to sample a bit of several stuff.
Your brownie-chocolate drink and mango mojito also looks bomb. And still on beverage, I guess I'm more like Chris when it come to tea, it's "just tea" meaning I prefer it without milk or sugar. And that might also mean that I still have a limited vocabulary to describe my tea experience. 😅
Great bumping into that train staff that recommended the roti. 👍🏻
Thanks for another great vid, guys. See you two next meal. 😊🫰🏻✨️
Hey Cris! We had such a fun time in Kandy, and especially getting there too!
We haven't heard of either of those apples, so that's news to us! We definitely want to try them both 😋
The local short eats sold by the women was a really cool experience, and a great place to try traditional dishes at a really great price, while also supporting a good cause. As for tea, something you must must must have in Sri Lanka, whether you're a tea drinker or not, this tea is some of the best! Worth a try for sure 😉
Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Cris! See you next meal 😉🧡
Thank you ❤
Thanks for watching!
Welcome to our country n enjoy guys
Thank you so much! We love Sri Lanka😄
Kandy is my home town.welcome to kandy
Thank you so much!
We feel the real taste of rice and curry when we are mixed well by hand not spoons. If you get used to eat it by hand and mixing propely, you will be able to eat it very deliciously. Thank you very much for your sri lankan food reviews and well done for both of you
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. We agree, the best way to enjoy the rice and curry is with your hands 😉
@@HungryTwoTravel yeah yeah😁😛
Best beautiful & traditional town is Kandy ❤❤❤❤
Agreed! Thanks for watching :)
Nice food tour
Fish ambul thiyal
You are 100% correct, which means sour fish. Also, make sure you have elephant House ginger beer with local foods.
It's not a alcoholic though we call it ginger beer.
Have a nice journey
Thank you so much! We've had that ginger beer and it is sooooo good😋 we love the ginger beer here in Sri Lanka. Thanks a lot for watching😊
❤ welcome to Sri Lanka
Thank you so much!
@@HungryTwoTravel You're welcome
Have a good one 💕
❤❤❤ srilanka 🎉
😊😊😍
The ball with floury and sweet you had as the first thing is call "Aggala" is made with roasted white raw rice flour, black pepper, shredded coconut and sugar , the the thing in doughnut shape is called "Vadai" is made with black urad dhal flour.
Thanks so much for the info!!
You guys are amazing 😍❤️ And I always love to eat kottu and achcharu(fruit pickle) 😩❤ Love from Sri Lanka and come again to our country 🤗❤✨️
Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😊 kottu and achcharu are delish! We can't wait to go back and visit again someday, we really enjoyed our time in Sri Lanka :)
22:28 Lipton tea is from our country. You have to go and visit Lipton seat in Nuwara Eliya
We wanted to but weren't able to make it there unfortunately. That will be for next time😉

We love Istanbul, we were there less than two years ago and had the best time, it's a wonderful city. We would love to visit again in the springtime 😊 all the best to you
Nice
Thanks for watching!
IM ALSO IN KANDY
That's awesome! What a wonderful city, isn't it? 🎉🎉
I really like Hela bojun food in this place.. really I miss all Sri Lankan food 😭😭😭
We really enjoyed the food there too😊 thanks for watching!
I was born and raised in Kandy
Fish curry go to Jaffna ( point Pedro ) Kottu go to Jaffna anywhere in Northern province .
During my school years. We go for Kottu Roti
Thanks for the suggestions!
Wonderful Kitchen.. Srilankan Cuisine.. but check out the TAMIL meals in Banana leaf.. Veg and Non veg too
We've had a few Tamil meals on banana leaf before and they've always been sooooo good. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting😊
Cheers Dears@@HungryTwoTravel
I love your huge ultimate bites! $3 for that curry breakfast 😮, amazing!
Haha we try our best😉😝 the curry was sooooo good and homemade, incredible flavours. You need to go to Sri Lanka!
Wood Apple drink is made from a ripen fruit which has the exact same texture of brown tamarind. It's almost like a tamarind juice but more sweet and less sour taste. The best was to make it is adding coconut milk into it. But the street-food vendors don't add coconut milk.
Yes it's a very unique fruit that's for sure! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting 😊
Visit rural Sri Lanka one day to experience traditional sinhala life style and food
We would love that. Next time we visit we will have to 😊
Try red bannana. We have so many variations of bannana here. I bet you havent seen red bannana b4.
Come to mention it, we have seen it but haven't had a chance to try it yet! We'll have to give it a go, thanks for the suggestion😊
Cylon tea & Cylon cinnamon world femous ❤
Yes! So famous and so incredibly delicious, Sri Lanka is full of tasty things😋
When eating rice with curries, mix it well with your fingers to get the best taste 🔥
Good to know! Thanks for the tip 😉

27:08 that fruit is called Indian Gooseberry (we call it Nelli in Sri Lanka), what makes this fruit special is it contains five of the six flavours sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and astringent. It has lot of medicinal properties. Not my favourite though 😊
Oh wow! Thanks so much for letting us know, very interesting taste agreed, we quite enjoyed it 😊
