“I first thank you, Roman and Delrin Vanhoff, mother and daughter who demonstrated excellent Sri Lankan cuisines and taught me how to cook them. Opposed to my stereotypical idea about Sri Lankan food that may use lots of oil, it is very healthy and tasty. I had afternoon programme and could not stay long enough to eat and chat with them.

One advices for GetYourGuide, it would be nice if the host family and a tourist could communicate beforehand about the selection of the ingredients. It would be sad if the tourist is not able to some of the cuisines…”
