Street Food in Sri Lanka - ULTIMATE FOOD TOUR - Egg Hoppers + Kottu Roti in Colombo, Sri Lanka!

Let it be like honeycomb-shaped calluses. - Do you want it cut or do you want it in pieces? -How do they eat it? - They cut it. - Yes, let's cut it, yes of course, cut it, thank you. So we found, we found the store with the intestines, where they also had mixed calluses. And they have a whole can of chicken necks that look like they were cooked in chili paste. So let's serve some samples. (speaks in foreign language) - Listen, I'm going to go get a bottle of water, okay? - That looks incredible. - That's intestine. - That's intestine, yes. - Here we go. - Oh, he has a shovel. - That definitely looks like intestine, which I have. - Yes, this is intestine. - It's open. - Yes, it's as if this were an intestine. - Very good guys.

Woooo, greetings! - Health! Oh yeah! Oh, that's tasty! - Good yes? - Is very good. I like that it's not sweet, it's just chili flavor. - Mika likes it! - And salty. - It's like chewing gum. - This is so new to you, right? - It's like meat gum. (laughs) Okay, okay. - Maybe mine wasn't as chewy as yours. - No, yes, yours was a little stickier. - Very good, next one. I'm ready for the next one. This is the stomach of a cow. - Yes. - Cheers! - Hmm. - Oh yeah. - Ooh, I like this one, I like this one better.

When you chew like this, chili oil juice comes out. - They are also calluses but it could even be another part of the stomach. - Here we go! - Next bite. Oh yeah. It's a totally different flavor, it's almost milky. Milky, chewy, greasy, yes, definitely. I think Mika was already sucking on one of her necks. - It could be Mika's. - Okay, I'll take Mika's. The next piece is the chicken necks, which are just right, he just cut them in half. - Just a normal Sunday afternoon. (laughs) - Chicken necks. Oh yeah. You can eat the bone. - Oh yeah!

That's good meat, it's like good meat. - Calcium in bones, you have to crush them and chew them well, but you can eat the whole bone and everything. - First time I do this. - Eat the whole neck and everything. It has a lot of texture. It has a lot of bone texture. - It's like nankotsu, as you already know nankotsu, like cartilage. - Oh! - Like fried chicken cartilage. - Yes, yes, yes, they do it in Thailand too. The chicken necks are actually one of the best pieces because they are not as salty and have more of a well-balanced chili paste.

The tripe and tripe are also excellent. I just received two of them. - Sweet! Desert? - Desert, guys! Cookies, cookies! I wanted to try dal vada, which is like a dal and lentil fritter. A dal/lentil burger. Oh wow, that's like fried to a complete crisp. You taste the onions, you taste the starch of the lentils. - Mmm - That's crispy. - Oh yeah. Super crispy and has such a crust. - Yes. Thank you very much, very good, very good, thank you. So much texture, so much flavor, incredible. We'll try to find one more dish here before continuing.

Hi how are things? - I am one of your followers. - Thank you so much! Oh, that looks amazing. Wow, they're betting twice. We'll stop at the next restaurant just down the

street

for more curry, but just one dish in particular. We came here specifically to eat the brain curry, which they are known for. But they have a lot of different dishes. And immediately what you notice the difference is that it is like a green curry sauce, colored and with lemongrass. They almost look like cauliflower. But I can guarantee you that they are much creamier than cauliflower.

Are we doing fingers? - Everything, no, everything. - All the thing? - All Yes! - Oh, you're going to think about it, okay? Yes, yes, turn it around! - Okay, I'm going to break it, I can't eat, I don't think I can open my mouth that much. (laughs) - I hope I can fit into this, I'll try. Health! - Health! - Brains up! Wow. - That's a lot of cream in my mouth at once. It's definitely too much brain in one bite, like the creaminess almost overwhelms me. It's really like the texture of panna cotta. It's so creamy, almost fluffy.

The flavor of that curry is actually very mild, you don't really feel much spice other than the brain itself. Normally people shouldn't try that all in one bite, but it was a lot of fun. - It was a good dessert after the necks, and the tripe to finish with a creamy brain dessert. I feel pretty good. - That's a lot of cream, honey! - That's a lot of cream in your mouth at once. Yeah! Nice to meet you! - Yes, nice to meet you! Bye bye! - We are on our way to Galle Face to eat some of the most iconic Sri Lankan

street

food

in Colombo.

And we'll be right on the beach, it's getting close to sunset. It will be a beautiful setting to enjoy street

food

on the ocean. Welcome to Galle Face, this is probably the most iconic area and gathering place, as part of Colombo. It is right next to the ocean, there is a lot of development in this area. It's a huge open space where people gather, where people fly kites, there's street food. It's like a park, it's like a meeting space. It's just a positive and fun place to be. We will try some street food here, which will end this

ultimate

Colombo street food

tour

, and then, yes.

The water here is also beautiful, I love it. Crab and shrimp. (speaks in a foreign language) Oh, do you eat the peel too? - Yes. - Oh, it's all fried so... (speaks in a foreign language) - Soft shell crabs are. - Ah OK. And then the shrimp too? (speaks in a foreign language) - Do you want to try this one? - Especially at night, right? Located along the boardwalk, you'll find several street food stalls, all of which serve orange, crunchy snacks encrusted with shrimp, as well as crabs. - Yes. - What is this? - Isso verde is the most iconic thing you will ever have in Sri Lanka, it is unique to Sri Lanka, and if you come to Sri Lanka and Colombo especially and you don't have isso vade, you have not completed a Sri Lanka.

Lanka

tour

or visit to Sri Lanka, trust me on that. - Awesome. That's why Galle Face is the place to eat it. Or you can eat it all over Colombo or anywhere? - - No, Galle Face is the place to eat it. The only. - So this is the place you have to come to, it's called isso vade and yes. I came when I visited Colombo in 2010. I remember coming to Galle Face, I remember trying this. I had no idea exactly what I was doing, but I remember it being good, crispy. I'm happy to come back again, now to try a little more. - I remember seeing you in 2010 eating this and putting it on the map, so thank you and thank you for coming back. - Great, I'm happy to be here.

And we're going to order some right now. Galle Face Sauce. - I call it Galle Face sauce. - Galle Face sauce, you only find it again at Galle Face, you have to come to Galle Face to eat it and then top it with a handful of onions and a cabbage-like mixture. What kind of dough is at the bottom? - This is chickpea flour. - Mmmm, mmm. Oh wow, oh that's amazing. Yeah! I remember that taste. It's very crunchy, a little sticky inside. - Tender center, crispy shrimp. - And the good thing about the prawns is that the shell is on, which gives the prawns an even more vibrant flavor.

The sauce is slightly tangy, the lime juice and then just those onions. It's like the perfect beachside, oceanfront snack. There is also a little spice in the back base, a little cumin flavor. - Same base but with crab. - It's the crab version, and it's like, it's a whole crab, it looks like a blue swimmer crab, an ocean crab, yeah? And again, when you order it, he adds the Galle Face sauce and tops it with a handful of onions, garnishing it. Hmm! Oh, be careful of the crows or they will come to attack. Oh, they did it. - They made it! - Oh good. (laughs) Oh wow, we were vlogging and weren't paying attention.

The crow has taken our snack. - Last burger. - You have that crunchy chickpea layer dough on the bottom again. But then you like to bite into the body of that crab, it's like juicy, you get like that, and you get that extra spicy crab flavor again because you eat the shell and everything. The peel has a lot of flavor. Wow. Oh yeah. You can chew the entire claw, but it is almost crunchy. - Mixed

kottu

and seafood

kottu

, beef kottu, chicken kottu - What do you recommend? - Uh, mixed kottu. - Here's one more thing we need to eat to complete this food tour of Sri Lanka. (Food sizzles) Okay, so kottu

roti

, is one of the most iconic foods to eat in Sri Lanka.

And then grab the iconic double-handed spatulas and work rhythmically, cutting, mixing and stirring all at the same time. Then you mix and match the seafood, everything goes together. You can smell the aroma, the curry leaves are just vibrant there, it's like a fry bread all in one, meat, gravy, chilli, pepper and spices all freshly absorbed into the

roti

. And yes, it is something you don't want to miss when you are in Sri Lanka. Or yes or yes. It's salty, you taste the curry sauce, you taste the curry leaves. But to be honest, it's too salty for me.

The great thing about kottu roti is how they chop and stir everything. It's like it's soaked in that roti bread. It's quite salty, but quite addictive. I think this is a whole liver here. A whole chicken liver in that bite, oh yeah. Well, we have reached the end of this Sri Lankan street food tour in Colombo. It has been an incredible day, we have eaten incredible food. I usually do a street food tour all in one day, it's all in one day, from one place to another. Today we did it in two days in this video because many things were closed, it was a holiday when we started.

So we spread it over two days, but the food we ate was delicious. I met incredibly friendly people and it was an amazing time hanging out with Ruzaina. She is The Minority Taste, she loves Sri Lanka, she loves Sri Lankan food, she knows Sri Lankan food. And I will have all the links to it in the description box, check them out below. And she just looks at that sunset right now, she's beautiful. (waves crash) I will also have all the information in the description box below, all the food we ate. You can check it all out below.
