The abundance of wild life in Sri Lanka is amazing, not just in the countryside, but also in towns and cities. Birds, small moneys and peacocks share the space with citizens, and buffalo being herded around. Mosquitos and midges are rare probably because of the cooler weather, and plantation/resort owners are diligent to remove fallen leaves to stop water drops gathering on the leaves for bugs to breed.
Most delicious treat for us is buffalo curd, still prepared in clay pots, served with coconut treacle. We nearly have a tub everyday. The local small roasted peanuts that are sold in shops are crunchy and tasty.
On the cuisine side, their curry is a bit simple and lack depth like other countries, dishes are simply made and not memorable. Only a few places you can see the chefs must be well trained to really use better ingredients and put flavours into dishes.
