    I live in Sri Lanka and watching this video made me so happy that even people who's left the country gets to enjoy the awesome flavors of Sri Lankan food. Now I've worked up an appetite. Absolutely loving your content even after seven years. Hope you're doing good!

    Thank you for uploading this; you took a great deal of trouble. If ever I go to New York City I am going straight to Staten Island to this locality - possibly straight from the airport.

      Ali Ismail it will take you a while to get there...Because first take the cab/uber/bus/subway train into Manhattan from the airport. Then take the ferrry out there. Then walk or bus like he shows you. After a long flight to NYC you might need to sleep first then head out for Lunch the next day. I'm heading out there next weekend. Hope is the vegetable kottu rotti is good as once I climbed down from Sri Prada.
