Lunch / Mahanama ( hotel)
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
In Sri Lanka, they make lunch gorgeously most. They serve sometimes too much dishes on the table.
Here I show you the typical menu of lunch dishes in southern province Mahanama in Sri lanka.

Mallum ,parippu and pol sambol are basic dishes of Sri lanka.

Breakfast / Galla guest house You may think this breakfast is too simple.Yes,it is simple but is nomal and traditional. 　Pol sambol , kiri hidhi are the indispensable foods of breakfast. The yellow soup ( phot - middle ) is Kiri hodhi. This is usually applied to boiled rice, and mix with rice, then eat with fingers. These days they used to have it with Paan ( they call bread as so ) .Those style is increasing in number, The water for washing meal - fingers is in the blue ball. Appearing in center are Arariya flowers. - Breakfast / Mataraat a resuthouse The pancake (phot - center ) is Appa.. It is Idhi - Appa oh right side. Upper left is the yellow soup named Kiri hidhi. This is the one type of traditional Sri lanka break fast. If you want to try to take those you must order ti before fore night. Because Sri Lankan never think that foreigners do not like to eat these type of food. They use to mis-understand our travelers mind. Give them order. And shall we enjoy thier tropical life.

- Lunch / Mtara at road side hotel I found the typical, general, and ordinal hotel st road side in Tangalla town. A middle-aged manager was sitting in the entrance of the HOTEL and she is also the owner. She asked me , "Monava-dha kan'ne? " I answered , "lanka-ve kaama nam kanava" It means --- "What you want?" "If you have Sri lankan dishes I sahll have it." Town market is situated in near , so many people working there are come here and eat mother - made - foods. Please look at the egg on the plate under side of the picture. That is the present from the Lady - Manager. She was pleased because a foregner visit her restaurant and he asked Sri lankan traditional dishes. I ate all the food with my own fingers.It is not oily , not artificial Just be tasty. Yes, you may say that it is not elegant Bbut I found something truth of our life - culture there.
