Holiday memory — Pol Sambol that transported me back
I first ate Pol Sambol on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the warming with cinnamon quality I remembered. Maldive fish chips was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.
Maldive fish is a uniquely Sri Lankan ingredient with no close equivalent elsewhere. It was the a family hoppers breakfast memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. king coconut water was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
