Time Out says

The most delicious cuisine this side of the Indian Ocean is making a home in Darling Harbour this month

Have you ever experienced the breakfast epiphany where you realise you don’t have to consume copious amounts of Weet-Bix or scrambled eggs day in, day out? You are, as it turns out, allowed to get creative with your AM eats, and you should start with Sri Lankan hoppers. They’re a crisp, bubbling crepe that can carry an egg or a spicy sambal to your belly any time of the day, and they will be the perfect start to your eating adventure at this huge Sri Lankan festival at Tumbalong Park.

They’ll be serving hoppers in droves alongside lamprais feasts, roti dipped in fragrant curries, soft dosas wrapped around masala mixtures, and a side of spicy pol sambol with every order. This food fest is all about grabbing a banana leaf of something delish and getting your hands dirty across the full weekend party. 

Beyond the food stalls, you’ll find other traditional offerings at the market like Ceylon tea, popular Sri Lankan spices, jewellery, clothing and crafts. And if you’re all tuckered out from the feasting and shopping, simply sit back and watch the traditional dance performances, demonstrations and live games that hail from this gorgeous South Asain island nation.
