    We know it's a very hard situation right now in Sri Lanka and we want to do everything we can to support the locals 🇱🇰
    We filmed this video a few weeks ago in February. We were unsure if we should post videos of our time in Sri Lanka, as we don't want to be ignorant of the fact that many people are struggling right now.
    But ultimately we decided to post our videos of Sri Lanka and hope that they can continue to show the beauty of this country during these tough times, especially because tourism is very important to the country.

    Sri Lanka is a beautiful country but now there is a shortage of dollars in Sri Lanka. We urge you to visit Sri Lanka, which has a relatively old but beautiful environment. We need foreigners. Only you can save us from this pit. Come to Sri Lanka, we are waiting for you. And one more thing, subscribe to this channel. Thank you so much for adding the beauty of our country to this channel.🙏

    6:26 I'm sure that's called "pattis", not elawalu. "Elawalu" translates to "Vegetables" in SL. Maybe you misunderstand what they said of the filling inside.

    • @ZoeandSimon
      @ZoeandSimon  Před 2 lety +2

      We were also confused, because on the menu it said Elawalu, but we only knew them as those filled Roti triangles 😁 So we're not sure if that was correct or not.

At 0:20 The dish before Zoe is a typical Indian thali dish a big packege of main course meal for lunch ( like rice or bhat in local Indian language, lentils or dal or sambar, bread or rooti or chapati, papard or homemade chips, vegetables, and 2 pieces gulab jamun etc and many more.)
