The taxi driver was referring to normal chicken kottu. But Cheese Chicken can be 800/-, and it depends on the size of the portion of some restaurants (one enough for 2) Alos, mind that cheese is insanely expensive in Sri Lanka due to heavy import tax.
That cheese called "Happy Cow cheese". You can buy it from any super market in sri lanka. Try that cheese with "Cream Crackers". You'll love the combination.
Kotthu comes 2 portion sizes One Regular small size And large size good for 2 to 3 people The one you got is large portion You can ask them to wrap the unused portion to take home Next time when you order kotthu ask for Small portion not the Large
Wow congratulations Mr.Ken. Normally cheese kottu may be 800/= 1000/= ., without cheese it may be 500/=. Hope you enjoy with your cheese kottu.😊 Stay safe. 🤜🤛
It cost me 350 sri lankan rupees with a nice masala dosai in kandy. It is really worth it. My Sri lanka vlog episode 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7YBxcX50HaA.html
Less than that in the KEELS (Keells is one of the best standard places in this country. ) Just 500/=, it costed around 400 in keells few months back ago.
The price is reasonable, normal chicken kottu around Rs.500 but cheese chicken kottu price is around Rs.800, and this Restaurant is superb. They added cheese slices too because some restaurants are only adding fresh milk instead of cheese.
Hey ken..Normal chicken kottu price is may be Rs500 less...but u had taken cheese chiken kottu...its price is may be Rs 600-800..... however i think u enjoyed your meal...good luck bro..🇱🇰🙏🙏
Hi Ken. In some shops take away price is lower than dine in kottu price. In Kandy, maximum kottu price is lies around RS 600. It depends on the restaurant. If you goto small shop, the price is lower. Large and AC hotel charge a higher price than smaller restaurants. Try Nasigurang and Biriyani, String hopper Kottu and Lump rice. Those are very some of favorite foods in Sri Lanka.
10:03 Only If you are going to "Take Away" food without eating, you have to order at the counter. Otherwise in Sri Lankan local restaurants also you just have to go inside and take a seat in an empty table. Waiter will come and take your order.
Hello Ken! That taxi driver said about CHICKEN KOTTU local price. There are so many kinds of Kottu In Sri Lanka. Compared to the other Kottu , Chees Chicken Kottu is expensive. Anyway I think you love kottu.
Yes Ken that kottu was really good ! The thing with the price is currently in sri lanaka everything is going up in price ! Example - Petroleum, Gas, Electricity, ect ! Thats why the prices are bit high but with this current situation it is a reasonable price !
That looks like a cute hotel! I can't believe someone's house could be that big, omg. And the chicken kottu looks delicious! Hope you had a good walk and tea afterwards :D
Ken you are the child trapped in man body, you always happy like what to see and it is nice to watch your videos. Stay safe No wonder your channel is growing. Congrats!
Looks good but such a huge portion. surely enough for 2 people. I'm begining to like sri lanka. Not sure I'd visit there but your videos in Thailand have influenced me to visit there. Hope to get there in Oct. Thanks Ken. Love your accomodation
Hi Ken ❤️ I would highly recommend you to visit 'UMANDAWA GLOBAL BUDDHIST VILLAGE' in Melsiripura, Madahapola, Kurunegala. You ll be able to taste truly Sri Lankan organic food. Also, can watch the process of harvesting/ making organic vegetables, organic fruits, leafy, coconuts ,coconut oil, organic herbal tea, house bio gas production, organic fertilizer and dried fruits. Make sure to contact them before visiting to avoid any inconvenience.
Rice and curry is the main dish, but people love hoppers, pittu, , coconut rotti, string hoppers too for morning and evening meal and b"fast. My favorite will be boiled jack fruit with coconut Sambol with a curry which is not available in the country I live now. It is a heavy meal, we might put on weight if we eat it everyday. You have to try it.
Hi Ken, love your content man. As someone who explores not so touristy places, can you do a video on " Yahangala in Kehelpathdoruwa" please. Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka.
I had a friend from tangalle who’s parents owned sujatha hotel and wonder if it’s still there as I left Srilanka 40 years ago so can someone please advise me thanks
That look delicious! I also just made cheese kottu yesterday at home..🤣...by the way Ken I saw you went to a juice bar and oder a faluda in Haputhale. I noticed you passed on other juices like woodapple juice. Try woodapple juice sometimes. Woodapple is a fruit thay ony grows in southasia. It's very tasty local drink. Also if since you are at Tangalle try "Kirala juice" there are many local shops sell them. Also Tamarind juice is also one of my favorite Sri Lankan juice. It's very tangy though.
Kottu is popular food if sri lankan young community. Your tuk tuk driver is bit old and he is not interestedat kottu. So he dont know prices and many things about kottu. Your price is reasanable for cheese kottu .🔥💖
800LKR its because you ordered Chicken & Cheese together.If only chicken, it might end up in 500LKR .Locals normally do not mixed chicken & cheese together .Taxi driver did not expect you to eat both flavours at once.
Mr. Ken it's very beautiful hotel with swimming pool in which towen is that ?? Kottu food origin from Jaffna towen its start around 1970s the taste Spread all over Sri Lanka today . Beef Kottu is very very Taste then after other . Before take lunch or dinner take one netto or Portlo soda after meal take Plain tea its give nice taste
Hello Ken, That 3 wheel taxi driver is correct n Kottu is not Sri Lanka's staple food but a popular street food. Our staple food is Rice paired with curries. I too prefer rice since it is healthier. You may try rice(bath), coconut sambol(pol sambola), dry fish tempered (karawala bedum) n dhall curry (parippu) together. Thank you n Enjoy Sri Lanka.
Nice accomodation you got there... Exploring and trying the local food at a local restaurant. ...Stay safe , be vigilant... Take care mate. BTW.. Malaysia will be re-opening borders around 2nd quarter of the year... You might need to take note of that.
Wow, a local authentic chicken cheese kottu at last. Oh gosh, it's a very big portion as well as heavy too, no wonder you couldn't finish it. Good that you are able to film the process of cooking it...aha...the noise/sound of "chopping" while cooking makes such sweet music to the ears 👍🤓
Try kottu from "Weeraketiya" which close to tangakle like 14KM, the restaurant called "Seafood restaurant " its only 450 rupees and its rich from Mosarella cheese and roasted, chicken , super delicious than other restaurant ,hope you will try that experience !
Kottu is really street food or fast food, Sri Lankan style. Home cooked food is always rice and curry, very often a really well balanced meal with several vegetable dished and freshly made sambol and mallum. There’s almost always something green and leafy. In comparison kottu has very few ingredients and not so healthy. Cheese is not really a local food at all, it is always imported and a sort of luxury food. There are other far more healthy options. Sometimes you might find stringhopper based kottu which I like far better, but full stringhopper meals are really really nice. And all the traditional breakfast foods are nice. See if someone can direct you to a place that does a proper stringhopper feast, and if possible take a friend too! Finish up with wattalappan dessert. There are lots of options as Sri Lanka has quite a diverse population, with good biriyani so from various Muslim communities, and also some excellent Chinese food too. It is a very foody sort of place, with good food that has been lovingly made, very time consumingly done sometimes. Instead of asking for a speciality food as where the best places to eat are, for local people. You will find the variety then, instead of getting such stereotyped food.
@@speceto2987 you can always eat less rice more veg. Or just less if putting on weight. Compared with western diets rice and curry is healthier as far more veg. Try eating less kottu and not putting so much sugar in tea, sugar is carb too. Up to each person to monitor their own health, no? Also don’t eat cheese…
You must try all varieties of Hoppers, it's very tasty and string hoppers too. If you take a Milk drink, pls don't take SMAK brand, this brand is famous for fruit drinks. Try ANCHOR brand milk.
Hope you really enjoyed the kottu. Kottu with cheese and chicken is normally expensive and can reach upto 800/=. But there are places which serve it for less as well. Chicken kottu without cheese could amount to 500/= or even less.
Hi Ken 👋🏻 first of all I would like to congratulate you on your 80k subscribers 👍 awesome Ken.. Okay I was curious to know about 'kottu' really interesting dish , wow never thought chopped roti canai fried with some veges and some ingredients , looks like fried kuewteow 👍 I believe kottu must be delicious 👏🏻 and pricey too 😢 btw your hotel is really cosy and clean , love the surrounding coconut trees and the big pool , the balcony area is so inviting , great video Ken as always , enjoy your stay 👍🥰
@@KenAbroad I have not heard about it either but surely I will try to chop some roti canai which I have the instant one in my fridge and made kottu with my own twist 🤣👍
Greetings from Simmo in 🏴 and Julia J in 🏴 Your accommodation looks amazing. Very clean and good facilities? I did like the look of your meal. You had me right until you put the curry on. I'm not a curry fan tbh. Very generous portion though. Have a great weekend Ken. 🏴🇱🇰🏴🙏
Just found your channel... Kottu is my favourite too... Every single restaurant has Kottu with different tastes. That is the beauty of it. That is why we never get bored with Kottu.
Anywhere u go when u r ordering fried rice or kottu just ask them to give normal portion.otherwise they ll give u full portion. So ask them "normal chicken cheese kottu" " normal chicken fried rice" like that. So that theyll give u normal portionbmy friend.
I think that taxi driver said about the price of a normal kottu 🙂 & as you asked what's the most famous meal, usually in Srilanka we prepare rice & curry everyday as our main meal while kottu is more popular (mostly among young generation as I think) as it has a unique delicious taste
If you cannot finish and if you have around half a portion to go, you can ask for parcel it and take away. Almost every restaurant will gladly parcel it for you to later eat...
That looked amazing Ken, it was a good local Kottu, definitely not tourist and the price was good, not too much. Your accomodation also looks very nice. Good video, thank you.
hey ken! try to get some fresh kithul Raa ( srilankan Toddy) there is very traditional way to make kithul raa in srilanka! its a pretty nice concept! or go to "UMANDAWA GLOBAL BUDDHIST VILLAGE" its a nice place for a foreign travers to learn some ancient srilankan things !cheers!
Calling a restaurant a "hotel" is pretty much a norm in srilanka.People in the past adopted words that were easier to remember and "hotel" is easier to pronounce than "restaurant"
A cheese kottu with chicken jst for Rs.800/-, ma man that is good. In colombo its 1000/-. Thanks to inflation everything is expensive now, back in 2019 a cheese kottu was jst 350/- or 400/-. (sad noices)
I don't think they scammed you Ken. Because cheese kottu is more expensive than Normal kottu...... Btw my favourite is also Rice and curry. We have thousands types of curries in Sri lanka. We cook curry from anything.....😁💕
You can use Uber or PickMe apps to get transport in Sri Lanka. Milk Rice with some curries, String Hoppers, Hoppers and Rice &curry are also tasty and Healthy
A cool and impressive hotel. Thanks for the tour and your room is a nice one with a pretty spacious balcony. Love the surrounding...full of coconut trees and there's even a swimming pool there....👍🙌
you can call a Tuktuk taxi from the App called Pickme and Uber. Its really cheaper than normal tuktuk and the vehicle is in best condition . They charge Tourist price because the app decides the price.
Price may be ok because of the cheese bro. For a chicken koththu its never gonna be more than 500/- . but cheese is very expensive here. but my price for it will be 700/- maximum. so 800 is a ok
