Food

Yesterday after trekking up Sigiriya and cave temples, stopped for a bite to eat recommended by driver at one of the locals offering buffet service. Hosts were embarassed to charge 500 rupees all you can eat.
Three platefuls later, I realised the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine previously consumed was nothing like this home cooked food:-

• Jackfruit curry
  
• Mango curry
  
• Some spiky vegetable called Dambulla
  
• Chicken can't even begin to describe the taste
  
• with plain rice, dal curry, crackers and chopped salad..
  I handed over 1500 rupees which was gracely received, somewhat puzzled the family also agreed to a team photo.
  
  

Possibly the best I've eaten in the past two weeks served on a teak tree table probably +100 years old
