I associate Sri Lankan food with Indian food.
Can't blame me. Both countries integrate cumin in their daily diet.
I don't like cumin. I don't like spicy food.
So what's there to eat for someone who dies with spice?
I got some breakfast from the hostel. Their continental breakfast is just okay. They have a "side spice" that you can sprinkle on everywhere. I left it untouched.
I enjoyed the meals that were served to me during my stay in Oasis Tourist Family Resort. The food was freshly prepared and tasted like it. They said that they grow their own cumin instead of buying from the shops. The store-bought cumin had preservatives in them. I didn't know how cumin plants looked like so I wasn't able to check. The guesthouse charged LKR 667 for a full Sri Lankan type meal. I know that I can probably find cheaper ones outside, but I really liked the convenience of eating at the guesthouse and taking my time doing it.
This continental breakfast cost LKR 435. That is a fresh papaya juice. Yumyum!
