Sri Lanka Holiday (May/June 2009) Day 1 - 3
The first thing that hits you when you arrive in Sri Lanka is the warm air, followed by a questioner asking if I had any of the long list of symptoms of Swine Flu then followed by one or two body heat scanners and a short immigration process.
Looks like I’ve picked the rainy season to visit the sunniest island in the Indian ocean. It rained for almost 2 days now. But I missed rain like this, thunderstorms that lasts hours.
It was nice to finally eat food cooked by my mom after about one and a half years.
Lunch - Kiri Kos (Jack fruit), Rice, Dhal, Sri Lankan Chicken Curry and a salad.
Dinner – Biththara Apper (Egg hoppers) and pork.
Hoppers a very popular item of food in Sri Lanka; they are thin and crispy pancakes which are made from rice flour. The bowl like shape is due to the deep bowl like frying pan where they are fried for few seconds. Egg hoppers have an egg at the centre hence the name.
