Lamprais Srilankan Cuisine

Seeking Sri Lankan Cuisine in Melbourne

1 min read

Is it weird to say the first time I had ever eaten Sri Lankan cuisine was when I was the furthest from the country? I had my first Sri Lankan cuisine in Melbourne at a buffet restaurant near my office called Cinnamon. Fafa took me there in my first month of living here after I declared the food in Melbourne to be terrible – bland and expensive, to be exact – over and over again for a whole month.

The place didn’t look great from the outside. But I could see a celebration going on the minute I stepped inside. Or just that everyone was happy and merry. Even though I came without much hope, I still had some. After all, it’s South Asian cuisine – one of my faves, only second to Indonesian.

I have eaten at several more Srilankan restaurants in the past few years, from Araliya to Elephant Corridor. But unfortunately, nothing left an impression on me. On the other hand, we have a Sri Lankan friend who is a fantastic cook who has been feeding us regularly, and her cooking will forever be the high standard of my Sri Lankan food experience, which will be hard to match.
