Facepalm.<br /><br />String hopper kothu / Idiyappa kothu became a part of our cuisine very recently, like two decades ago. Leftover string hoppers were made into kothu the next day. Kothu roti was there for ages, even before we were born. <br /><br />Coconut Roti is widely eaten in SL, however, it is a staple food for highland people. Affordability and satisfying your hunger in hill stations are the main reasons for such high consumptions. <br /><br />There are a "few" Sri Lankan restaurants in KL. <br /><br />Restaurant Yarl, Brickfields serves authentic Jaffna cuisine and Rasai Machan, Sunway serves authentic Sinhalese cuisine. There was one in Klang, one in Seremban and one opposite to Unitar. I am not sure if they are still functioning but Restaurant Yarl and Rasai Machan are still functioning. <br /><br />The was one in Royal Selangor Club area (a bar) too. Former SL captain owned it and they served yummy kothu roti. I heard it is still functioning. மன்சி (Munsi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12999113659413978314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891286156382741919.post-4441775892892011262015-03-19T19:15:03.339+08:002015-03-19T19:15:03.339+08:00Interesting food, different.
