Balaji Dosai at Kandy

We skipped the lunch at Dambulla as we were traveling to Kandy today afternoon. Our bus reached Kandy after an hour and 45 minutes of travel. We got down just opposite to the famous Indian restaurant named "Balaji Dosai restaurant".

Ordered a pair of ulunda vadai(40LKR each), onion uttappam(a pair for 200LKR) and a ghee dosa (220 LKR). As usual, sambar was made of pumpkin. Not sure why only pumpkin is added to sambar in this country. Whatever it is, that was absolutely fantastic to go with dosai or vadai. Coconut chutney and chana masala were other sides for dosa and uttappam. Surprised to see two onion uttappam on a plate. Ghee dosa was too big for me to complete. Both quantity as well as quantity was great over here.

Washed down the meal with a milk tea(60LKR), while my friend had a ginger infused sulaiman tea(20LKR). Food was purely divine. We had food at the main branch opposite the tooth relic temple. This restaurant has another branch at the end of the road. And there is a one next to it with a word "Sri" added into the name. It is always better to have at the original branch rather than getting disappointed at other places.

Sri Lankan Delicacy at Dambulla

Happened to visit a local Srilankan hotel for dinner tonight. Decided not to have any kottu for dinner. So ordered few appams(12LKR) along with a fish fry(100LKR) and double chicken curry(200LKR).
Appam was freshly made. Fish fry was cold, but too yummy. Would be good if they have at least re-heated it. Chicken gravy was just ok, but had two big pieces. They also served some type of sambal which was like a chilli pickle, didn't touch it much.

Everything was good except that we had struggles in communicating with the Sinhala lady waiter. Luckily there was a Tamil guy to help us explaining rates and about various dishes.

Overall a descent food with pocket friendly price. They had lot of different buns(veg, plain, fish), Muscat halwa,...We may visit back if time allows.

Ice sticks at Trincomalee

Generally food is little pricey in Sri Lanka compared to Tamil Nadu. But ice cream is super cheap in this island country. Today we happened to find an ice cream kiosk while descending from Koneswaran kovil at Trincomalee. Me and my friend got yummicious strawberry and orange flavoured sticks for just 15LKR each. We are now addicted to ice creams.
