We started off our massive Sri Lankan street food tour tasting the locally made curd, mee kiri. Super tasty, full of delicious rich flavour, this was a great start to the Sri Lankan street food in Colombo.

We continued trying the best street food in Sri Lanka tasting hot butter cuttlefish and ice milo. These are some of the most popular foods you must try in Sri Lanka!

We finished off our Sri Lanka food tour heading to Galle Face Green in the evening. This is a busy spot for street food in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and we came to try kottu roti and isso vada.

Any trip to Colombo isn’t complete without visiting Galle Face Green and trying the iconic kottu roti and isso vade!

We hope you enjoy our Sri Lankan street food tour in Colombo, tasting kottu roti and isso vada for the first time. Stay tuned for more street food adventures tasting the must try street foods of Sri Lanka!

  1. Hello! 😊

    That curd with treacle reminds me of taho (bean curd with caramelized brown sugar and tiny bobba). I can also imagine why it is eaten for breakfast. The other items in the shop looks just as tasty.

    I love that look Steph gave Chris when he said that his Milo drink tastes better than hers. Hahaha! 😂 Those look like they have a milk foam on top. The sprinkling of milo powder on top seems like a great idea too. I'll be making one very cold one for myself one of these days.

    I got a bit worried for Steph as she bit into the crab. But I guess, judging from the video, the crab shell got crispy from frying and is easier to eat than I though.

    The last street food reminds me of okoy, a traditional PH dish often made with flour batter, julienned veg, bean sprouts, and shrimps. I do not see as many being made as street food though compared to way back when I was a kid.

    Thanks again for another fun, interesting, and informative vid. See you two next meal. 😊✨️🫰🏻

  2. 4:30 Kokis: deep-fried rosette cookies made of rice flour and coconut milk. Originally brought by the Dutch i think?
    4:53 Kevum: oil cakes made from kithul treacle and rice flour. The one you tried, "konda kevum" is so-named because it looks like a hair bun x)
    5:13 Thala guli: balls/rolls of sesame seeds and jaggery
    5:45 Halapa: sweetened kurakkan/finger millet with coconut, steamed flat in a kenda leaf

  3. Wel come to Sri Lanka. The UFO's shape sweets called "kawun", round wheel sweet called "kokish".last one you ate is called "halpa".you must visit galle, Kandy, Ella, nuwaraeliya. It will be memorable ❤️
