STREET FOOD is FREE in Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ??

- To properly explore a country it is a must to indulge in local food. That's why I decided to make my way to Aluthkade or Hulftsdorp which is the place to be for streetfood in Colombo.
Upon my arrival I realized that I was actually a bit early to the party. Most street food stalls would only open around 6 or 7pm and I was there around 3pm already.
As there were a few shops and stalls already open I tried some. I started off with some Sri Lankan pastries: Chicken Samosa, Maldives Fish Pastry and Sri Lankan Egg Roll. All very tasty, especially when combined with a nice masala chai.
After that I continued walking around the area where I saw the All Saints Church that looks very similar to the church (which is a basilic now) of the city I grew up in. The Saint-Hermes Basilic in Ronse, Belgium.
After that I tried the famous Sri Lankan string hopper. This is usually served for breakfast but I tried a quick one on the go. The vendor wouldn't accept any money for it. How kind!
After all that eating it was time to rinse it down with a juice. This juice was a double layered one and the taste resembled of that of a mojito. Even though it looked nothing like it they also called it a mojito, without alcohol that is.
I continued walking around and met some lovely ladies that liked posing for the camera.
Then, finally the time had come to try my last street food dish in Aluthkade. It wasn't a Sri Lankan dish. As a matter of fact, it was a Belgian dish! That's why I couldn't skip it. It is my duty as a Belgian to try fries when they are advertised in the belgian way.
I ended up hanging out with the owners for about an hour while tasting their delicious food. If you're in Aluthkade definitely go there!
After that one of the guys proposed to bring me back to my hotel on his bike. I tried paying for the ride but he wouldn't accept any money. Some real authentic Sri Lankan hospitality!

I would like to express my deep appreciation to the gentlemen at the String Hopper shop and French fries shop in Sri Lanka. Their warm and genuine hospitality is a true reflection of the Sri Lankan culture, and any tourist visiting our country should be fortunate enough to experience it.
I would also like to extend a special thank you to Tim, who came to Sri Lanka during a difficult time and showcased the beauty of our country to the rest of the world. Your presence here was truly appreciated. Hope you had a great time in Sri Lanka
100% respect

2:50 Maldive fish is a staple of Sri Lankan cuisine, you can pretty much eat it with (almost) anything 😂 The Sinhala word is Umbalakada, while in Tamil it's Maasi (this is the word the gentleman used)
Edit: 4:20 Speaking of sushi, I once made makizushi with some Maldive fish curry inside, it surprisingly works haha
Oh thanks for the explanation. I loved it!
Lovely people!! Clean city!!! Love srilanka from nepal!!! Will be there someday!!
Sri Lankans will give you their meal eventhough they haven't eaten... very generous and friendly people , Thanks for bringing us lovely videos from Sri Lanka ❤
As I mentioned in your 1st vlogg you will love Srilanka and Srilankans,
Don't listen to media or comments given by various people. See, experience then believe,
End of your journey you can rate Srilanka comparing with your other travel destinations.
Hulfs dorf Church was built during duch period.
Have a safe and happy journey

After that Huge meal in aluthkade, they offered it free of charge. But when you insisted on paying they said "ok you can pay Rs.100".
Rs.100 is like the cost of the napkins bro. Which means they still offered everything for free 😊😊❤
Very hospitable people.
#respect
The street food area you visited is called Aluth Kade (which means new shops built additions to Petta Market by the British period). The area is called Hulftsdrop because, during the Dutch ruling period, this area is called Hulftsdrop. Hulfts was a Dutch Army Leader. The Church you show in the video would have been built by Dutch. That is why you saw similarities with your country's church.
Correction : The Church was built by a set of anglican sinhalese including the bandaranaike family during the british era.

Hey Tim, plz visit Kandy and Ella..They are very beautiful places to explore...Love from Sri Lanka 😍🇱🇰
Hi there, I will surely visit those places. Thanks!
@@timtense But something must be said. The street food in Aluthkade you went to is a trick brought by the Muslims to bring the Muslim food that was rejected by the Sinhalese back to the Sinhalese people after the bomb. Muslims came to Sri Lanka as immigrants. It is not the food of the natives of Sri Lanka that you have eaten. To eat them, you need to go to the southern part of Sri Lanka like galle,matara and hillcountry like kandy,matale and middlecountry like anuradhapura, polonnaruwa and the areas where the indigenous people of the Vanni region live.
@@Oshada-colo okay u racist
