Overview
Enjoy a private and authentic Sri Lankan meal with your host Bandu in his home. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Bandu is a kind and friendly host, a retired IT professional who has lived overseas for over 35 years. He learned to cook from his mother and has been cooking traditional, home style Sri Lankan food for over 40 years. He initially learned to cook for survival as a young professional and now is extremely passionate about cooking for friends. Apart from cooking, Bandu likes traveling, hiking and swimming. He has traveled to over 35 countries and has even learned to cook local food in a few of them. When asked why he would like to be a host, Bandu says, “this is a great opportunity to learn about other cultures and meet like-minded people.”

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Your experience begins by meeting your host Bandu at his high-rise apartment.

He is eager to share the history and traditional methods of preparing authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. Listen to all his interesting stories while you share a meal together at his dining table. Chicken or fish curry, eggplant stir-fry, lentils, rice and gotu kola salad (a melange of a leafy green noted for its medicinal properties, minced shallots, lime juice and freshly grated coconut) are some of the authentic Sri Lankan dishes you might try at Bandu's table. You will end your meal with curd and treacle (a traditional dessert) or wattalappam (coconut custard pudding).
