Yashy — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:47:36 +0000

We arrived in Ahangama after a busy stretch of our Sri Lanka itinerary… and this is where things finally slowed down. Think slow mornings, beach bars at sunset, smoothie bowls and easy villa living. I’d been seeing Ahangama pop up on my Instagram feed for years, and I knew it had become a go-to for foreigners (especially

Yashy — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 18:56:31 +0000

Colombo, Sri Lanka, is a city many tourists tend to skip or only pass through at the start or end of their trip. For me, though, this bustling South Asian city is home—I was born here and still spend most of my time in Colombo whenever we visit Sri Lanka. Of course, my experience comes

Abigail Costa — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 16:42:35 +0000

Kiribath, or Milk Rice, is one of my favourite Sri Lankan dishes. Each household has slightly different ways of making milkrice with some adding coconut milk later in the process and some adding it first so each one tastes slightly different, and one of my aunts make it best! Unfortunately I only see this aunt

One of my favourite Sri Lankan recipes is Mani Pittu and it’s what I request every time I see my grandmother. She’s 94 years old now mind you, so it’s getting even harder for her to make the Mani Pittu recipe for me. On my most recent visit to Dubai I got in the kitchen

Yashy — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 16:19:00 +0000

“Where is Sri Lanka? What do you eat in Sri Lanka? Is it like Indian food?” Those are pretty much the first set of questions I get asked when I tell people I’m originally Sri Lankan. Luckily for me, many North Americans have recently discovered, and loved, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. “Where is Sri Lanka?”

Following the Elephants in Sri Lanka

Yashy — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 19:17:11 +0000

Sri Lanka is known for elephants and this gem of a creature can be spotted at various places throughout the island. If you’re only staying in the city of Colombo, it’s harder to see them as they do tend to roam in the wild than city streets. That said, some of the bigger temples do
