It was the perfect moment to heed the call of our rumbling stomachs, prompting us to seek solace in a tranquil haven just beyond Balangoda. With every mile, anticipation grew, for I had a secret oasis in mind, a gem hidden in plain sight: Shiroma Hotel, affectionately known as 'Kattayar Kadai' to the locals.

                                        

Here, in this charming abode, we discovered the essence of Sri Lankan cuisine – a feast fit for kings and commoners alike. As we perused the menu, we were presented with a tantalizing choice: the option to indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors that is Sri Lankan rice and curry, available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian renditions. For those seeking the carnivorous thrill, succulent chicken and tender pork awaited.

And it didn't stop there; the accompaniments were nothing short of a symphony of tastes. A luscious spread of coconut sambal, creamy dhal, aromatic raw jackfruit curry, and the intriguing bitterness of bitter gourd poriyal graced our table. As if that weren't enough, a radiant radish leaf salad added freshness to the ensemble.

                                        

As we savored this culinary masterpiece, there was an unexpected star of the show – raw red rice, a rarity in my culinary adventures. When harmoniously mixed with the vibrant array of vegetables and the robust pork curry, it was nothing short of an epicurean revelation. The flavors danced in unison on our taste buds, creating a symphony of delight that transcended the sum of its parts. In the end, this unassuming treasure by the road became more than just a meal; it transformed into an experience, a culinary journey through the heart of Sri Lanka. A must-visit, a must-savor – it's a place where every bite is an enjoyable Sri Lankan story waiting to be told.
