- Sri Lanka Village Family Invited Me To Their Home - To try tradtional Sri Lanka Food
The previous video, Kandy market spree ➡ • "Sri Lanka No Corona" ...
A subscriber invited me to join her and her friends in their home in the mountains near Kandy, Sri Lanka. It was also one of my first times in rural Sri Lanka. Already one of my coolest and most memorable experiences here in Sri Lanka.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Sri Lanka, making Sri Lanka travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Sri Lanka. I will be traveling Sri Lanka, showing you around local places and try lots of different Sri Lankan food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Sri Lanka now from a more authentic local point of view.

I am also inviting to you to come to galle sri lanka. Then you can see more tourist attraction place wich are situated in southern province of sri lanka. If you want to came here please reply to this comment. I will help you to show some beautiful places in galle. 😊😀💙
@@worldvlogs2017 yea me also inviting to you please come to galle.
I was in Sri Lanka 2 years ago had similar experience with the locals through a tour but this is truly an amazing experience. I'm very jealous 🥺
Ken. Where do you lives in sri lanka?
Please come back ANYTIME, your most welcome 🙏🇱🇰
🇱🇰
Ken come again,l will give superb lunch and dinner 🥣
😁😁 come back if you want they will give you good experience about us.😁❤
Many Sri Lankans are highly regarded for their hospitality as well as their humanity ❤️
Love you ken ❤️
For foreigners yes because it brings dollars and some recognition to their country! But for their own no humanity at all. Extremely selfish, when using roads, does not obey road rules. Government workers are always on strike to get their demands and never think about the poor people. The political leaders and high ranking government officials are corrupt as hell. Sri Lanka is considered one of the corrupts nations in the world. That shows their humanity!
@@barneycasting8331 Sri lanka is the best of south asia... much cleaner, humanity , Culturally. And one of the world best tourists destination... you lol...🖕😆
@@isurusandeepa8493 is the guy who u are talking to high or some shit ?
@@janmbro8812 I have a feeling he was drunk and still is
Sri Lanka is so beautiful! The cities and towns of Sri Lanka are much much cleaner than India!!
Thank you
Thanx ❤️💖
We are almost 8th cleanest in asia haha
india has more population, but much cleaner than western countries
Thank you so much❤️❤️
What a nice experience. Thanks to the lady who arranged everything and the beautiful family. 👌🔥
Nice
I like that you are experiencing the local ways, life and traditions, because some tourists don't like to live or eat like the locals, they just want to live luxuriously in hotels.
Living the ways of locals in other countries might be a challenge to you or other tourists but it is the way to experience life. 😊😊
I agree, the best experiences and memories are like this 🙌😊
That is why building highways was in a way wrong for Sri Lanka. The destination is the journey in Sri Lanka.
An amazing experience trying traditional Sri Lanka food in a village up on a mountain. Thanks a bunch to the subscriber who invited you to her/friends' home.👍👍👏
Sri Lankan hospitality, amazing ! The best way to know the culture and food is from the locals! Thanks very much to the subscriber and her friends for inviting Ken!!
Interacting with the locals always make the best videos!
And it's also what I love to do the most. More interesting than just filming landscape 😄
Ken you are so lucky to be experiencing the real heart of Sri Lanka by being invited into someone's home and in such spectacular surroundings.. In my 50 or so years of travelling (I first travelled from New Zealand to UK when I was 20) I can honestly say that meeting the ordinary local people away from the touristy areas brought me the greatest joy. I think it's doing the same for you. These experiences will stay in your heart forever and can actually teach you many life lessons. Gute Reise!
Yes I agree 100% 😊
Visit North Jaffna to meet our nice Tamil brothers. Srilankan Tamils are very kind and Friendly like us and they can cook tasty foods
Nope tamils aren't our brothers lol...they r dravidians and the culture is so different..and they aren't that friendly
@@vladimirkalashnikov8986 we share same country for me all the sri lankan tamils and muslims are brothers
All the "Sri lankans" are brothers.No one put you harm.Our Tamil and Muslim Brothers are also friendly and kind similer to Bhuddist and Cristian brothers.
I would like to invite visit North and East sri lanka to feel various cultures. 🇱🇰 ❤
@@vladimirkalashnikov8986 aru u sure 🤣
Yayyyy! That's where my husband's family is from.. I'm excited to come and visit one day and learn more about the culture. This video gives me a perspective and deeper appreciation of his country.
That was the best video from all your videos Ken, yes I've watched all of them, I'm a Muslim and honestly it was the most wholesome experience ever. The most wonderful, generous and hospitable family that invited and shared with you their most beautiful private and intimate family experience clearly speaks volumes about the Srilankan people. What a wonderful, humble and pleasant folk. Thank you ladies and I hope Ken you recognize and cherish this experience?
The Srilankan lady who welcomed him firstly, reveals everything in detail is fabulous👏.Aunty, you bring our Pride to the whole world 💪..everything we have.everything grows naturally and can be grown here.this is our heaven, my motherland Sri lanka❤🇱🇰
Beautiful country beautiful people God bless you always 🥰❤️🙏🙏
It's not an ordinary village..... But a place surrounded by heavenly NATURE
Wonderful video Ken. We think living at posh addresses and owning bungalows makes us rich. Actually this Sri Lankan family is the rich ones… hill living, all manners of fruit trees and spectacular views.
what a great hospitality of Sri Lankan Family
Aww! That is a true Home. So much heart and love and making full use of the land. Really great location too. Very natural behaviour by the family, this video gave me a very warm n fuzzy feeling. What an ultimate life to retire to, Gosh...
some of the benefits proving eating with hands is a healthy habit
1. Eating With Your Hands Helps Increase Blood Circulation
Eating with hands itself is an excellent muscle exercise, which in turn increases blood circulation. The excessive movement of the hands may help keep the blood flow smoother.
2. Stimulates Digestion
Our body is believed to have bacteria or flora, which resides in places like hands, mouth, throat, intestine and gut that protects us from harmful bacteria growing in the environment. When we eat with our hands, the friendly flora protects our digestive system from getting exposed to harmful bacteria, further stimulating the digestive system. This doesn't mean you forget to wash your hands before and after you eat!
Do clean your hands before eating food
3. Believed To Help Lose Weight
According to a study published in the journal Appetite, when people ate by hand while simultaneously reading a newspaper or watching television, they were less hungry during snack-time, and opted for a lighter snack. Researchers concluded that eating by hand promotes a sense of fullness and satiety as compared to eating with cutlery. This, in turn, could help lose some kilograms.
WOW! 6 months ago??? I am so happy for all of you to make such a bonding. Not only between vlogger and subscribers but between cultures too. ❤️♥️🦋💕
3:21 OMG THE VIEW! 💫🌟
Bro next one you should visit Bangladesh 🇧🇩
And love our Sri Lankan brother🇧🇩❣️🇱🇰
Ladies were super happy, hospitable and so sweet. Ken, you don’t know how lucky you are to be invited into their home. One in a million person and you it! This is the best video. I love to see how locals live; it’s such a wonderful experiences to be able to see. Thank you so much ladies for inviting Ken. And thank you Ken for sharing as well.
Hats off for the family... You guys nailed it... this is what we should promote our country as locals . not by scamming them... Thanks KEN. Love you Man...
I'm glad you came to our country to create something like this and show it to the world.❤️

There are honest and innocent people in the villages ... meeting them must have been a good experience for you
Sri Lanka is actually a very nice country , I think it is best country in South Asia . If they develop and improve the hygiene and quality it will even be as great as Thialand, Vietnam and Malaysia . They must not get greedy though but keep the prices reasonable. The people are great. Hi there Naleer , who studied in Malaysia .
This video really moved me. It's so rare to see such authenticity anymore. Everyone was so joyful and eager to share. You've made a friend for life
That was a wonderful video featuring real living in Sri Lanka and what a great family. Such experiences of yours makes me want to visit Sri Lanka one day soon. Cheers!
The ambrella fruit juice you had is called amra or kedondong in malaysia and maa-kok in thailand. Its enriched with lots of vitamin C 👍😄😄😄
It is not ambrella it is embarella. You are welcome dear.
Well, Ken, you already have the experience of eating with hand when you were in Malaysia so it's not a problem now. Maybe after the subscriber has taught you the correct technique, it's easier now. Malaysians too use ambras and jackfruits ( usually young ones ) to cook their curries. Ambra drinks taste better with "assam boi". Wow, they even packed some food for you to bring back to the hotel. How hospitable they are !!!
we have jackfruit and ambarella fruit in jamaica though we call it june plum. we sometimes eat it with salty spice - like they sell on the streets of vietnam. when i visited sri lanka i had noticed a breadfruit tree. the housekeeper where we stayed got some and prepared the most delicious melt-in-your-mouth curry! we roast the breadfruit and eat it as a side similarly to the way one would eat bread. :) sri lankan food is a delightful treat!!
The English rulers viewed Asians in some of their Crown Colonies using fingers to eat but they thought that they were using entire hands and they mentioned it that way and to this day Westerners call it “ eating with hands” Actually Sri Lankans use only the finger tips to mix food and eat using only fingers with no food contacting palms or the lower parts of fingers.
This kind of traditional home for extended family is also self sufficient in many kinds of food and the kitchen tools and utensils allow people to prepare everything from scratch. No fast food! It’s in general quite an environmentally friendly way of life too. Sour flavours are valued in Sri Lanka so even fruit which are sour are quite popular. As you can see it’s a healthy way of life! People are very active and do not need a gym! Just everyday activities keep them fit. Pounding and grinding food with heavy stone implements is a daily happening. The food is great in SL because so much effort and love goes into it! You have a very good bunch of hosts there, lovely people. Lovely home. The little squirrel is called a lena and they are very common and friendly. Leftover food is often put out for wild creatures which is why you can see such a variety of animals and birds. There are headmen and women in all parts of the country who look after local affairs as well as official matters. It’s a great system that ensures things are looked after, including public health measures, like ensuring there’s no stagnant water left around, this helps control mosquitoes, so malaria is no longer such a problem. I miss
SL a lot, it’s a great place.
Wow all points in one comments. Awesome mam 💗
Thx.. ❤🌼
Thanks
Thank You Ken, what a wonderful local experience you had. This is what makes your channel so unique, and personable. Amazing!
Wow Ken that was Awesome stuff. Nice to see how they grow and bring it to the table. Woman are so talented.
What a wonderful video of authentic Srilankan life style,, hats off to the lady, who invited him to visit Sri Lanka 6 months ago!
Im really proud to see how our peopel treat you. This is the humanity of sri lankans
Im proud to be a Sri lankan♥♥
Thumbs up!... .Nice to have locals / subscribers inviting you to their home ,sharing their culture, food & way of live. The very reason why we travelled.... To experience new things and gain more insights...Stay safe , be vigilant , Take care mate...
Hi Ken 👋🏻 wow best video so far of SL episode , you're so lucky to get invitations from the locals , what a priceless experience to see their home and try the authentic home cooked food by the local villagers , really awesome. I love the village 'kampung' vibe and they have the whole market there like you said 🤣 I think you've tried the banana blossoms and the ambarella juice in Malaysia before , we called 'kedondong' juice with asamboy 🤣 remember ? I sometimes cook sweet curry 'kedondong' (pajeri kedondong) super aroi 👍 not sure of the green leaves , was it moringa ? That roti sure looks delicious , nutritious and easy to prepare 👍 the lady was so lovely the one who invited you and love everyone that stays there , lovely home and beautiful eating area with amazing view 👍 I really enjoyed watching this episode Ken , well done 👍5-⭐️
It is gotukola leaves not murunga.
@@kumarimapa7595 thank you 👍
If you come sri lanka . I can invite to lunch.
@@tharindudissanayake116 awww...thank you so much 🥰
Thaks to the subscriber for inviting you. You took us all along with you.
That view was epic... Imagine waking up to that every morning
Wow that is an authentic hospitality of srilanka specially thanks to that respectable family
Sri Lankan women are very strong 💪🏋️💪
They’re all so nice!❤️❤️ we’ll be in SriLanka in a few weeks too! Travelling in Cambodia right now
Welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Enjoy your stay❤
Warmly welcome to Sri Lanka.
Love you from Pakistan 🇵🇰
The view from the terrace is absolutely mind blowing and no words to describe the beauty of the scenery....luckyyyy people
This is more like it ,meeting the lovely locals ❤️😁The fact the young lady got in touch with you many months ago Ken speaks volumes 😊
This lucky guy gets invited to everything in every country….great video
Most Sri Lankan video I've ever watched from a youtuber.
Like the atmosphere in the village house with the squirrel and the chickens, the view from the roof is awesome. Never heard about the green colour fruit that your host prepared juice and also curry. Would love to visit Sri Lanka and try the fruit. Did not know that papaya flower is a delicacy in Sri Lanka, never taste it before although I know Indonesians eat the flowers too. I think it is a very unique experience. 👍👍👍
Its banana blossom fry with spices. Very delicious.
@@dharshanaw5926 Thanks for the info. I have tried banana flower about once or twice before (in Malaysia, but prepared as a salad), it is quite delicious. Sri Lankan cuisine is very unique, would love to try it.
@@KethTamilTubing Thanks for the info, would love to try it in future.
'Banana"flower is packed with nutrition that cannot be found elsewhere. Sri Lanka has a number of varieties of plantain and very rarely one can buy banana which I am not sure whether it's imported.
English name of the green color fruit ie 'June Plum'
It looks really nice there. Now I have to add Sri Lanka to my bucket travel list!
Thank you for coming to share happiness with Sri Lankans 😍😍😍
We love Ken and his travels.........thank you for showing us how beautiful people can be x
Wow wow.. what an experience. I've seen many vloggers touring Sri Lanka being invited by locals for a lunch or dinner all free. Is it normal there in Sri Lanka. Hospitality to the nxt level
Just awesome. Love your videos bro. Enjoy
You are really lucky to be invited by a stranger & I understand that Sri Lankans are happy to do this. It's so nice to see & experience the unpolluted clean village life. People look very innocent, welcoming & willing to share what they have even though they are not rich financially but rich in their culture. I don't think it's easy to find people cooking the traditional way as every thing is modern today. I'm sure the food raste better when cooked in clay pots & with wood fire. You might experience more of this kind of reception if you visit more villages. Remember that Sri Lanka is a country with a long history in many aspects. You have a lot to discover among the different races traditions, food, culture etc.
Really awesome experience Ken… You’re v lucky to be able to experience that.. OMG!! Tqvm to your Subscriber for bringing you there.. 🥰❤️
It's wonderful to see you getting well with the locals. You seems be enjoying the hospital of the locals. Thanks for sharing your experience so world could see how people live in Sri Lanka.
wonderful experience. We did this when we came to Sri Lanka 15 years ago.
Come again .it's already 15 yrs ago
It's so sweet for your viewer to invite you to this local village tour and I'm glad to hear that you've enjoyed it! The food looks amazing. Stay safe!

Great job Ken! Brilliant perspective into the other side of the world. I loved see how local communities live. Fantastic video, and such a warm and welcoming community, brilliant hosts! :D
13:15 I'm a village headwoman and I can confirm she was 💯 correct with that information. And FYI you can't cut down coconut trees as well without gov permission 👀😊
Thank you for visiting Sri lanka Ken! And I'm really enjoying your sri lankan vlog series & looking forward to more interesting contents like this 👍. Have a great time here! 🤗
Ah thats interesting 😊
Headwoman means grama niladhari?
Wow never heard from a headwoman or man before. I left sri Lanka with my parents before I was an adult although I had heard and met headmen/women before ,I did not seen a response to a TH-cam video.
@@vijayafernando1 They use the word HeadWoman/Man for Gramasevaka for better understanding I guess.
@@soonalldotcom3381 no not at all , that means ගමේ ඔලුවා😂
So nice that your host has educated you on how to eat rice! The salad (mallum) is a kind of cress. But mallums can be made with a variety of different leaves. As you can see the diet is very healthy and fresh.
Really happy that you came across some good people out there after some chaos.. And not every tourist visiting Sri Lanka is blessed with such an opportunity 🙂 good luck with your future travel adventures ✌️
Ps. Traditionally Germans should be way better at wood chopping 😉😋

Such a wonderful video with utmost humility Ken. Great tour guide and host. Scenery and garden looking so lovely. Instantly fell in love with the village.
Now, that's how I would love to see a country and its people, such a nice experience. Excellent host, venue and thanks for bringing this experience to us. 😍
Wow Sri Lanka is so amazing. They can speak English even better than Europe. And they are so welcoming to others without any hesitations. Great.
Thank you for sharing this video, it’s so amazing experience and you are a great guy too. Look forward to see more.
this is honestly my most favourite video of the tour around Sri Lanka so far.
That was just freaken awesome. WOW!!!! What nice people.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience. It's lovely to be invited for a home cooked meal in a beautiful village.
wow. that's really authentic meal for common village folks. the best moment here is how you practise eating using hand like the locals do. bravo Ken.
i really enjoyed this video other than any other video you posted in sri lankan tour. i am so happy since you got the chance to enjoy most authentic sri lankan foods in one place which is a typical traditional sri lankan home. as you mentioned in a previous video what to eat in sri lanka i commented so many authentic sri lankan foods under your comment and most of the foods i mentioned you got the chance to experience in one sri lankan local home. that GOTUKOLA SALAD is my favorite salad too i am over the moon ken. nice video thank you for this experience..🤗🙏
Love to see more like this, what's happening in the villages, especially the traditions, food, how they cook traditional food, day to day life & many more. Keep up your good work.
Ken, you sound to me like Harrold Bald when he was touring sri lanka.Hope you will have great time and give the world a good impression of sri lanka with our authentic sri lankan food and hospitality.Enjoy your stay looking forward to more videos to come through .
I wish Harrold will see these videos and come to sri lanka to join you.
Wow that's so nice to invite you over. It is so beautiful there!!!
Hi Ken, I am from Sri Lanka and watching all your travel episodes on your TH-cam channel.. You can travel all over the island enjoying its beauty. Be sure to visit the central hill, which is the most beautiful mountainous region in the country..
WOW ...... such a nice hospitality. This is so wholesome though. Lots of love to this Sri lankan family here..💕
Great video Ken, lovely family and you presented yourself extremely well, really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Happy to see you invited by a nice family in Kandy. My wife is from Kandy and I lived Four years during the seventies. We are watching all your videos made in Sri Lanka from UK. We lived in your wonderful country for twenty years in Niedersachsen. Danke schön und Alles gute.

Ken, your subscriber was so sweet to open their home and shower you with their hospitality....best experience ever. look for a homestay and get to stay a few nights in their simple environment.
It is so great to have this experience with the locals in Sri Lanka. You have had one of the best experiences Ken. Wonderful! Sri Lankans are best at their hospitality.
This is the wonder of a village in Sri Lanka ... they are very genuine and hospitable ... but unfortunately many tourists who come to Sri Lanka miss these opportunities ... a beautiful program ... very happy friend you come to Sri Lanka ....
Wow 👌 great bro enjoy the trip much happy to see you another beautiful video stay safe .

Hi Mr.Ken,
Glad to hear that you are having an amazing time in beautiful Srilanka. As a huge fan of your travel vlogs, we are honoured to have you here in Srilanka. We would love to invite you to our place, 'The Treasure, Habarana' to spend your time with us, getting to know about the culture, tradition and seeing the wonders of Srilanka that are located nearby. As Habarana is located in the middle of wonderful travel destinations, World heritage sites, wildlife, beach sides, I know it will worth your time to spend several days with us in our village!
As I am a national tour guide lecturer, I can guide you and make this destination a memorable one in your life forever! I will get you the transport also complementary!
This might be a golden hand to uplift the live pattern of real Sri Lankan villagers and the fallen economy of Srilanka establishing tourism again.
Yours sincerely
Lucky
That was awesome Ken. How they showed you the garden and all the fruits. The meal looked delicious.
