[Penang] Sri Lankan lunch at Kandy, Little India

We’re back at Kandy last night to try their lamprais, that famous culinary contribution by Sri Lanka’s Eurasian Dutch Burgher community.

The one here wasn’t very good at all, and certainly a far cry from those we’d had from Kuala Lumpur’s various Sri Lankan eateries., especially Lankan Cafe in Bukit Gasing.

We also ordered some chicken cutlets and fish cutlets, as they reminded us of those delicious morsels we found all over Sri Lanka during our travels there back in 2019. The ones here were very good: freshly-cooked, with golden-crisp exterior, and moist, tasty filling. They are also pleasantly greaseless and, in fact, tasted better than many of those we had in Colombo during our last holiday there.

We also couldn’t resist ordering the egg appams, one of our fave food choices during our previous visit to Sri Lanka.

Condiments for our appam included seeni sambol (spicy, caramelised onions) and a piquant fish curry.

We’ll probably drop again by for their egg appams, if we happen to be in the neighbourhood.
