Kotuwa

Jaffna Duck Curry
Duck cooked tender in light coconut gravy, creamy yet gentle with spice warmth. Felt different from the usual and easily my favourite of the meal 》$34

Seeni Sambol
Caramelised onion that’s rich and sticky with tamarind giving a sweet‑tangy lift. Paired beautifully with the curry and rice 》$8

Dallo Baduma
Crispy fried calamari with a buttery chilli kick. Good crunch and flavour though it didn’t fare as well compared to the duck curry 》$26

Yellow Rice
Fragrant and fluffy, cashews adding bite and caramelised onions bringing sweetness. Ordered the half portion and it’s still enough for sharing between two 》$5

The exterior comes out golden brown and cracks with a clean crunch. Inside, the crab filling is soft and creamy, carrying gentle sweetness that blends with Sri Lankan spices. The dip adds a garlicky and peppery lift that brightens the richness, making each bite layered and lively 》$18

Coconut Custard and jaggery(indian cane sugar), topped with a white chocolate cream. It tastes like a pecan pie without the pecans kind of, the crust is soft and quite dense. The filling has some complexity, and the white Choc cream works as well

All in all an easy to love, safe dessert, not too much wow

Overall:
If you're looking for safe food with familiar flavours and frankly trite but textbook execution, this is your place. However if you're looking for something to blow your mind, this is as far as it gets. It's almost exactly what you would expect, really, and not in a good way

Basically appams but done well, it's crispy and the egg in the middle was perfect, it matches well with the Hoppers. Unfortunately the Hoppers lose their crisp quickly. It's got a coconut savouriness to it, but doesnt really matter since it's just going to be a vessel for gravy
