I am a 60 year old woman (Aussie) who has lived in lots of different places in Asia/Sub-continent. I am so impressed with you!! I don’t say that often, particularly about TV chefs. I am always screaming at the TV when they wrongly present local foods in Asia and display their irritating lack of knowledge and sometimes their ethnocentrism. You defy all the stereotypes about travelling Americans, and you are so young! Your locals-level of knowledge about foods and ingredients is impressive. I also noted that even if you get to a country for the first time and mispronounce something, later on you have corrected yourself, that’s really cool learning and what travelling should be about. I just subscribed. Despite all my years travelling and working in those countries, somehow (for reasons, but too lengthy to go into) I never got to Sri Lanka. I am going in February 2020 for a food-focused month and can’t wait to try a lot of the foods you have listed. I used to live with a Tamil family in Malaysia, so I know some of them but not all. Can’t wait....thank you for getting me revved up to eat!
so thank you so much! yes, I do make a lot of mistakes, but I am still so new to this and just trying to soak it all in and learn as much as I possibly can! Happy to hear you subbed. If you need help contacting anybody or with anything, feel free to reach out to me via email. Wishing you the best and a great journey!
Dude! You are AMAZING!! I am addicted to your videos. You tell the story so beautifully, you shoot and edit and narrate so wonderfully. Your love of culture, food and people just radiates. Thankyou for sharing your uplifting energy with us and treating us to the BEST vlog series on Sri Lanka! P.s when the egg yolk broke, your commentary had me crying with laughter!! You rock! X
hahahaha you are way too kind but I love to read this! Really makes what I do put a biig smile on my face. Thank you so much. This means more than you will ever know!!
Yay! Yet another fantastic video on the best island in the world, Sri Lanka. Love the way you explain things and the tone of your voice is so calm. Them tropical fruits are so fresh and the real deal!! Keep it up max. Can never get enough of your videos. More on Sri Lanka please. Hoping to visit there soon..
Awww I being a Sri Lankan, loved and enjoyed watching this video so much !! Didn’t realize it was 20 minutes !! Wish it could be longer . Thanks again for being a humble and happy guest to our beautiful country ! Blessings for many more adventures in life !! 💗💗💗
@@Macoi24 : I absolutely love every single one of your videos. They are fun, and informative. Thank you for such great content. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos!
I love your accent. I love the fact you dont let certain things portrayed in the media deter you from exploring the world, the food and it's people. There are good people in the world and you are proof. We are not those people. We just want to eat sleep and live! p.s theres nothing like sour mangoes which you dip in salt and red chillie powder😋😋😋
Hey Max, I'm watching your videos for the first time, I just came across your channel while I was looking for videos from my Motherland Sri Lanka. Watching you eating foods cooked in clay pots and plated on banana leaves, NOT just makes my mouthwatering, I'm practically drooling! SERIOUSLY ;-). I miss my country's authentically cooked foods so much since I'm living far away from my lovely country!. Thank you VERY MUCH for showing the world my country Sri Lanka's beauty and the authentic delicious healthy foods to the world! :-):-).
Ahhh so wonderful to read this message! Thank youuu for watching! I am glad I just got the opportunity to explore Sri Lanka. it was so much fun and I loved it!
I don’t know when I’ll make my way to Sri Lanka as I have a lot of trips already planned out but whenever I do make it there I will refer to your videos to determine what foods I will try👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much for spreading the positive vibes of Sri Lankan cuisine and culture across the world. I watched every episode and you present it very well. It's crazy to see an American eat so much spice and not collapse =) And you seemed to love 'Pol Sambol' yeah? haha.... I got some relatives back in Long Island if you still wanna have 'sambol' in the States. Do visit again, all the very best for your plans ahead! Cheers
I love how you come from a farm in Arkansas and yet you felt the pull to travel and learn from the world when so many Americans think there's no life outside the USA! Well done you. Btw what camera or equipment do you use? I love your clips.
yes, I have always felt like there is something more outside of the USA. Hmmm, I use a canon with a 10-18mm and a rode mic. I have some of my equipment listed in the description box if you need to take a look. All the best.
That was great . I loved that little place with the poop floor. The blast furnace they were cooking on was amazing. Is it because we are from farmland that we refuse to let our baseball caps die ? Love the frayed edges bro. I have a FORD cap that is just shredded and falling apart and I think I'm gonna have it bronzed lol. Seems like a beautiful country , can't wait to see the next. See ya Max
Mannn, got to wear my Cubs hat because it has been there since my very first video!! I do like a worn down hat too haha. That mud home was really neat. Long live our hats, ha!
Hello Max. That mango is huge. The fruits are all sweet. Now lunch. Wow lots of food and eating them in the treehouse is awesome. Yum so good. Saved your blog last so I can enjoy it with lots more time. Now on to a big breakfast. I could practically smell what you’re smelling
If there is one thing that can unite Sri Lanka again after all that has happened; it's the fusion of food from both the North and the South. Watching you eat Kothu roti, appam, rice n curry and here I am munching on McDonald's!
Oooooo!! I like the Max’s way of eating hoppers, I miss this so much , BTW how do you stay this fit and slim eating all carb+ fat combo all day everyday, whatever you are doing for it keep doing it , take care of your health too , good luck and best wishes !! Thanks for saying so many nice things about my country
Seems you like srilankan 🇱🇰 foods.. Hope you will come back to srilankan again 😍😍 and try some delicious cheese kottu again ...and thank you very much to doing this ......
a piece of advice from a local : If you like to experience real authentic sri lankan taste, you'd better avoid the star hotels. Most of the time, they customize their food in a not so authentic way, so that they are less spicy etc. and more closer to international tastes. That's mostly because foreigners can't kind of bear the strong spiciness in our food. Taste of the same food served at a star hotel and a local hotel may greatly differ. At least, that how it's for me. Stated this here as a help for tourists who are yet come to here in the future ❤️
Ohh another wonderful vlog for srilanka food. I love those village food. Specially that belimal " Herbal drink was superb for your body(healthy) Having lunch in tree house so chill men. You are so lucky 🌷👍🌷👍 also your sinhalese words pronunciation so higer 👍💪
Not surprise that you eat every meal with sambal. Did you take some sambal back to US for your Christmas feast? The restaurant is very facinating, with a traditional kitchen, dining on a tree house and a plate of rice with dishes that looks so delicious. The hoppers looks similar to Malaysian apom but our Malaysian version is sweet unlike the savoury Sri Lanka version that you enjoyed eating with sambal and curry.
haha no but luckily I have a pestle and mortar soo I will be able to make some! Yes, very similar!!! was fun so see the differences yet was is similar as well!
