| - I have never had a hopper or a lampries before visiting this place and even before I arrived, I was very intrigued. Tucked away in a rear unit in a building across the parking lot of Highland farms, this little joint was everything I had expected it to be.
We ordered some hoppers with onion sambal and a mutton lampries to share between the two of us. I must say, the hoppers (egg & plain) were very tasty and I liked the mildly chewy texture and the sweetness. I would have been a happy camper just eating the hoppers by themselves without the sambal.
The mutton lampries, on the other hand, was like being smacked in the face. In a good way, that is. I am not the one to shy away from heat but this was seriously spicy. My poor husband who does not fare too well with spicy food had tough time with the level of heat in this dish. He downed almost a whole glass of mango lassi (which was excellent) by the end of our meal and was still sweating. This dish was packed with a boiled egg, chutney, pickles, little salty fried anchovies, rice...etc and was so substantial that we had to bring the leftover home and have it for another meal.
The lady who took our order was very helpful when informed that it was our first visit to the restaurant and helped us with the menu. All in all, our foray into Sri Lankan cuisine was a good one and we would return to try their less spicy curries soon.
