Is THIS How You Eat STRING HOPPERS? 🇱🇰
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- Folks, for todays lunch we are having a few things, but for the first time I will try the famous Sri Lankan string hoppers. On one of our walks we decide to take one of the local restaurants in the middle of the town - of course with no tourist around. Still, first they try to only give me daal instead of real gravy with my string hoppers. They think all foreigners can't eat spicy food - but they are wrong, we eat all the chilly in the world, so let's bring it on.

Enjoy Sri Lanka our favourite country in the world ❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰
I sure do
Thank you😍😍😍
Wonderful of you to show and share with us the normal situation in Sri Lanka. Yeah, it doesn't look like there's a crisis there anymore. People are out and about and shops are opened for business. Everything looks normal. Thanks for the good work, Sir.
Well said
Srilanka will bounce back for sure. The signs are good. My prayers for the people of Sri. String hoppers is my favorite dish. Idi apam is healthy
I am sure
I hope so. There are lots of smart people, it really takes an intelligent and responsible government to bring it all together.
Lovely! Can't wait to go back to Sri Lanka...all that yummy food and its friendly, smiling people.
totally do come back
Great to hear you are enjoying the trip. As a father. I am so happy for your children who will have brilliant memories. All the best!
Thank you so much!
String hoppers are generally breakfast or dinner ...' your lucky there were some even for lunch .
Yes, there were some left over
First rule of vlogging, don't get yourself killed! You don't simply stand in the middle of the busy road and talk to a stick while the oncoming traffic is waiting for you.
That being said, stay safe, have fun and enjoy the holiday!!!
Welcome to Sri Lanka brother. 🙏🙏
I'm sure you will have a fantastic time.
Just finished watching it. Seems like you'll fit right in Sri Lanka, quite like a local. Subscribed. !!
Cheers mate, yes, I am lucky to be still alive.
The restaurant seemed quite elegant. The Sri Lankan version of this string hopper was a new surprise. But the typical Sri Lankan food that pleased Mrs. Moonshine was excellent.
True that
String hopper, hopper and pittu (putta) is also considered quite typically srilankan as well.
@@aparnafonseka3475 Thank you Aparna for your kind awareness. I love this simple Sri Lankan dish.
@@anupamdas1811 you are most welcome 🙏 if you haven't already visited srilanka please do visit.🌺
Most Sri Lankan foods are so yummy and heavenly. Thanks for promoting.
Our pleasure!
Love your (and the family's) attitudes and the way of living... Wishing you a wonderful journey ahead...
Thanks so much
String hoppers are best with fish chicken or egg curries, dhal, coconut sambol, and caramelise onion (seeni sambol) children love it with potatoe curry.
Have a enjoyable and safe stay
May God bless you and your loved ones.
thanks mate
haa haa You and I both ate string hoppers today 🤭🤭🤭😁

Even in time of crisis, businesses must still go on but internally the people are suffering.
Really beautiful video. I like today's video more and more . Can't wait for tomorrow. Everyday is like a surprise cuz we don't know where you're gonna take us in your videos.

It is amazing I agree, but we are not on holiday, we travel permanently
Yes, this is how we eat string hoppers (idi appa). You did it correctly. Better than a local. Your hand eating skill is improving day by day. 😁
thanks mate
Wow …you eat perfectly with your fingers …
Super enjoy your saty Si with your lovely family.
Thank you so much 😊
Your videos are so natural and unscripted...lots of fun!
Glad you like them!
Always love your vlogs .cz your style is so natural ..enjoy beautiful sri lanka ...thank you for sharing with us
My pleasure 😊
String hoppers look yum yum yum. We do have string hoppers in Malaysia and l usually eat them with palm sugar and shredded coconut. That triangular vegetable roti looks yummy too. Good review anyway. Surprised that Dylan refuses the string hoppers. Maybe he's not hungry. Anyway, he's always a cutie pie. Have a glorious weekend, Sir and family.
So good
Is it Putu Mayam Chaw?
@@haryhary399 Yup, "putu mayam"
You are using your hand to eat like a true Sri Lankan. You are a pro.
Thank you so much 😀
This just made ma day!!! Love this channel to the moon and back!
so nice of you
Thanks a lot for visiting and promoting our beautiful mother Srilanka ... Subscribed mate...
Thank you so much 👍
Wow!
You ate with your hands like a pro.
Some dexterity on show here!
Thank you 😋, but I always eat with my hands
@@yvesthesleeve
Okay, No surprise there then.
Enjoy Sri Lanka.
Trust me that country will not let you down.
I want to eat all of that food. Now.
😀😀😀😀😀😀
I am really hungry looking at you eat that IDIA-POM.. it's really delicious and my mom used to make that. It's so sos delicious to eat with sambar. Think I am gonna have that one of these days. My mom is good in making that. Really awesome and good finger licking brother. 🤣🤣😝😝
Hope you enjoy
Best wishes to you and your family. You are very genuine person and know how to enjoy ur life. Thank you for all your help to rebuild tourism in srilanka
I try mate
Thank you so much visit to srilanka 🌹❤️
my pleasure
Crisis is not finished yet , It is still there , Srilankans are suffering from the inflation thanks to corrupted politicians but forigners like you are always welcome to Srilanaka, they can come and enjoy whatever they like because our people so friendly they will not do any harm to forigners.
Yes I see, everybody is indeed very friendly to us.
What you're eating is call idiapom. Pronounce like India without the n so it's IDIA-POM. It's delicious and my mom used to make that too. Really delicious . I love eating that with sambar
I really appreciate the fact that the father feeds the same local delicacies rich or poor. Really loving that attitude.
cheers mate
Ediyappa is good with potato curry and coconut sambal...
Try egg hoppers and plan hoppers with katta sambal, you will love it.
Thanks for the tips!
I say .. your youngest is a copy of you! He looks like a happy child!🤗
Rice noodles in this shape are found in South India! Just called Iddiyapam and something else in another southindian language that I forgot. Really a noodle that can be eaten with everything. India has indeed influenced the kitchen of Shri Lanka in a good way. Then again I am not sure the ethnicity of the restaurant you visited,, lol..
Also I was surprised how busy the city is!! Not as small as I first envisioned! Good to watch..👍
Well, I am pretty sure the place is very authentic as it is just a local place in the middle of the town, and there are only local people in there, no foreigners.
@@yvesthesleeve oh yes, I am sure you are correct. I was merely considering the cuisine.. if it was Sinhalese, Tamil or Moorish? I guess during the time the differences could be more or less watered down..
Nool puttu in kerala
@@ridgegourd9415 thanks!
@@474bonnie string hoppers are called Idi Appa in Sinhalese and can be found in every food shop in every corner of Sri Lanka regardless it’s Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim communities. It’s a very popular meal. Another similarly popular meal is hoppers/ Appa which is similar to a crunchy crepe made with coconut milk , rice flour and eggs. Also Pittu which is again made of coconut and rice flour can be served with sweet or spicy condiments.
Like I said I am a Sri Lanka living in America and I miss this authentic Sri Lanka food.
I can buy everything here even prepare the food but it doesn't taste the same.
Enjoy your stay
Ah yes I understand
Great meal of string hoppers!! Never tried it savoury! Always as a dessert with palm auger n desiccated fresh coconuts! Will certainly try it next time!! Baby Dylan has the sweetest smile !!
Ceers mate
Don't know why you got it with dal unless you asked for it. It's super dry. It is eaten with sodhi and sambal. The coconut grave u had the first breakfast. U missed it in Malaysia u can have this in the Indian restaurants for breakfast or in the evening.
Not sure but I got gravy in the end...
Well, I will hopefully get it again
We Sri Lankans eat it different by mixing and matching different current. Dhal is an option.
Beautiful family....you are good u tuber...love you all from Sri Lanka.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Hi sir ! I like your small sun he is very quite. He is adorable same like you. Nice family. take care. love from Sri Lanka ❤️🙏🏻🇱🇰

Those string hoppers in Malaysia is known as Putu Mayam. We eat it with grated coconut and brown &/or palm sugar and also with chicken potato curry. Yummss

Sri Lanka was an ancient Transport and business hub even before the roman empire. At that time it had many other namea like Taprobane, Ceylon like that. After independence in 1948, Sri Lanka got its current name. Because of that international hub situation, Sri Lanka has developed thousands of food recipes.
I didn't know thanks
If you can please try milk rice with fish curry and chilli sambol,rottee with chilli sambol

At least they are dealing with it
