SRI LANKAN FOOD

Sri Lankan food is hard to find even in a cosmopolitan city like Singapore. But I found a stall selling authtentic Sri Lankan food in  theTekka Food Centre in Serangoon Road, the hub of Little India. The Indians are described in the photos above. I did not eat my lunch with rice but with String Hoppers known locally as Putu Mayam and  Coconut Milk Rice cake known as Kiribath. Joyweed is a species of spinach which is supposed to have mood-altering properties. The Goat Tripe tastes funkier than Beef Tripe, and the salted Queenfish is cooked with Red and Green Chili. Seems like Sri Lanka cusines uses more Coconut than Indian cuisine.  I was also surprised to find Sri Lanka food even spicer than Indian food.
