Mmm, Lankan food.. Now we're really talking :P
Where do I start? Pittu, Stringhoppers, Kottu, Hoppers, Wattalapan, the rice in the banana leaf (haha cant remember what it's called), those really yum sugar buns they sell at local lankan bakeries, oil cakes, dodol, vada (esp. the donut ones dipped in the orange sambol), egg rolls, FALUDA, curd with kithul syrup
Lol sorry if you've got no idea what I'm on about.. I'm pretty sure these are what they're called.. Well atleast that's how I call these foods..
But yeah, the list goes on :P

Same! Haha dodol I don't like, but i like Kevum as well!

What about Bitthara-aapa?

Sinhala or Tamil? :)
Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: vashappenin on December 31, 2012, 09:05:16 pm
Cool! Haha what's that? Maybe I'll know if you describe it
Tamil.. so we call kevum paniyaaram (or something like that :P), etc.
But I'm muslim, so we don't speak the full-on proper tamil (I think it's influenced by arabic or something..it's not THAT different from proper tamil, but there are some obvs differences), but my parents know sinhalese too :)
You? I'm guessing sinhala
Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: thushan on December 31, 2012, 09:06:11 pm
Egg hoppers :P

Ah! Yup I'm Sinhala :)

Once every 2-3 years. Not since Year 11 though. It's a bummer that I can't understand or speak sinhala.

Were you @ the cricket on Boxing Day?
Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: DJing on January 01, 2013, 02:42:53 pm
Nah wasnt there, i skipped on tickets ti travel, but we do not speak of the Boxing Day test...oh the shame :'(

Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: thushan on January 01, 2013, 02:48:07 pm
Yeah, good thing you didn't come - my mates and I were cursing at Lanka's flop. And some drunk Aussie guys joined the Lanka Fan Zone and started taunting us :P

Least Sanga played well. Love the guy! You watched his Spirit of Cowdrey lecture?
Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: DJing on January 01, 2013, 02:52:02 pm
True but now he's injured!!!! So there's no hope, but yeah i was glad I didn't go, the match itself was too one sided to be good viewing :/

And LOL I have no idea what that is...I only watch the games haha
Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: thushan on January 01, 2013, 03:06:03 pm
Yeah, Lanka is eff'd.

Oh really? You must watch it. This is the best speech I've ever seen, Sangakkara is probably the best orator I've ever watched.

hahahha jokes bros! love all you guys! <3

We were thinking the same thing ;)
Thush! It was the curry thread! Not the Indian thread!

Tell me if I'm wrong here, but the one observation I've found with Lankans when compared to Indians is that they are more westernised? Or they're more quicker at being westernised... Is it just co-incidental with my friends or something?
Title: Re: All Things Lankan
Post by: thushan on January 02, 2013, 04:52:39 pm
But it was too dominated by Indians :(

The minority Lankans needed some space :P

But Sri Lanka cricket is going to the dogs. Or rather, the politicians.

Indian cricket isn't at it's peak either, I'm guessing political. I guess it's the nature of both countries. You need money or status really. Unlike here where it's pure skill.

The reason you didn't see this is that the Curry thread overshadowed this :P Go support Thush in other thread too. He's a lonely lankan right now. :P There are tons of movies there as well!!

Are there actually lots of Lankan Tamil films? I probably won't understand any of the Tamil they speak haha. Are you Tamil?

I may go to the T20 but I always change who I support haha. So I'll be on the fence till I enter the G.

Hahah WOW how many of these threads is there going on? hahaha :P and no hahah I don't know of any Lankan Tamil films - I just watch the Indian Tamil films since almost all Tamil actors/actresses are Indian :P It sounds similar to me (with the exception of some words... like Indians say "Veedeh" for house but most Lankans say "Oodeh". But then in some parts of Lanka they say "Veedeh" as well so it's not that difficult to understand Indian Tamil haha) so it's all good haha :) Ummmm I'm not tamil, I'm Lankan muslim but I can understand and speak (a little) Tamil (dont know a word of Sinhala though...except maybe bohamastooti lol!)
