Or Pushpa's as it were, writes Rachelle. Where she cooked up what I'd like to think is the local equivalent of a weekend fry-up, or perhaps simply a typical Sri Lankan breakfast. Either way, it was absolutely delicious and slightly unnerving tantalising our tastebuds with that amount of fresh chilli at nine in the morning.
A spread of Hoppers (both string and plain) which are made from Rice Flour and Coconut milk. The plain hoppers are similar to mini dosas and the string hoppers are a small patty of vermicelli-like strings compounded together. Both act as a base to mop up the delicious light Dal and Coconut Sambal.
Again, all whipped up in Pushpa's kitchen before we opened our eyes that morning.The plate of fresh fruit with a squeeze of Lime finishes the meal and neutralises the palette. I enjoyed a pot of Sri Lankan coffee, which I likened to a pot of sweet mud (did the trick though) and Simon used the freshly squeezed Papaya juice to wash down the Chilli overtaking his mouth.
A wonderfully perfect start to the day. Thank you Pushpa.Bill for two, including sauce: 1750 rupees (GB£9.50, AU$17.00)
