CONTEMPORARY SRI LANKAN CUISINE Isthuthi LUNCH CONTEMPORARY SRI LANKAN CUISINE Sri Lanka, once known to the Western world as Ceylon and to the ancients as Taprobane, is situated at the southernmost tip of India, and for this reason, it is commonly referred to as a 'teardrop' or the ‘Pearl of the East’. It has a recorded history of over 2500 years, and is populated by a few races: the Sinhala, Tamil, Moor people, and other minority groups. Most of the population are Sinhalese and their history can be traced back to 483 B.C. when Vijaya set foot on the island. The island has also been known by other romantic names like Serendib, Zeilan, Sila-Diva, Salike, and Simundu. The Chinese called it ‘The Land Without Sorrow’. It is now well known as ‘The Resplendent Land’. Sri Lanka is truly resplendent being blessed with a paradise-like beauty, deep-blue seas, sandy beaches, and a balmy 32 degrees all year round on the coastal areas. Sri Lanka has an amazing variety of food. There is a rich indigenous selection with distinct differences in taste in the low country, hill country, and northern regions of the island. There are also influences from conquerors who brought their own contributions of cuisine - mainly the British, Portuguese, and the Dutch. In this menu, you will be delighted with the selection of Sri Lankan offerings that have been tempered with the characteristics of Indian, Arab, Malay, Moor, Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences. Whilst thanking you most gracefully in true Sri Lankan style, we bring our hands together - touching palms and with our head bowed - saying "Ayubowan" which means welcome. We hope you will enjoy the presentation, the colours, and the taste of every little morsel of food that you order from our carefully selected menu.

Contact: [email protected] Dining in the Hudson Valley is Being Redefined by Immigrants By Kevin Wheeler Westchester county and the greater Hudson Valley have never been known for their restaurants. While ubiquitous Italian-American red sauce spots and diners serve their purpose, they do not usually demand any detours. Sure, there might be an iconic hot dog stand like Walter’s in Mamaroneck, and the preeminent cooking school of the United States is a few miles north of Poughkeepsie. But mostly, these areas are collectively known as the beautiful backyard of New York City, not as a culinary destination. That notion is slowly changing, however, as the Hudson Valley becomes more diverse, and thereby more exciting, culinarily speaking. One might say that the region is becoming a little more like New York City, in terms of eclectic culinary offerings—the only difference being it’s a bit more spread out. I write that with no facetiousness. Sure, skeptical reader, I concur that you will not find any Tibetan cafes hiding behind any cell phone shops along the Hudson.
