WTF - J Town in C Town

  • 19 September 2018
 
What - Jaffna Food Festival     
Who - My Sister's Kitchen - Thush
Where - The Sandwich Factory
 
On Sunday,  My Sister's Kitchen collaborated with The Sandwich Factory to bring Colombo the funkiest fusion of Jaffna flavors with a western twist for a ONE DAY ONLY Festival, so as a true Jaffna Boy I did not do anything but just dress up for the event. It was great to see people rushing in an hour before serving time, so the festival did start off on a good note. 
 
 
 
 
Speaking to Thush “Sister” she says “this is a good way for more people to try Jaffna food, and this is served easy so its enjoyable.  SF and MSK together they combined the best of both worlds".
 
All the dishes which were served had a story, who can say “no” to some Beef Toasties, it was always a hit at our home, so all the Jaffna cuisine served were inspired by precious family recipes, just to keep the flavors real.
 
 
 
 
The menu was planed well, not too spicy and no 100 items on the list. I ranked it with stars based on consumer feed back – a few toped at 5 stars 
 
 
 
Uppuma Balls with Prawn - Diced prawn stuffed in Uppuma balls served with a fresh pathola salad and prawn curry gravy on the side.- **

Danu Innasithamby

Danu Innasithamby is proof that one person can survive on coffee, curiosity, and an unhealthy number of WhatsApp messages. A television host, actor, producer, writer, and professional chatterbox, he’s spent years turning conversations into stories and stories into memorable television. Born in Jaffna and proudly calling Sri Lanka home, Danu has built a career around asking the questions everyone else is thinking—but with a smile that usually gets him out of trouble. Whether he’s interviewing celebrities, hosting major events, judging competitions, or chasing the next great story, there’s never really a dull moment. When he’s not on screen, he’s busy supporting local talent, championing meaningful causes through Sri Lankan Smile, or convincing himself that “just one more project” is a perfectly reasonable life choice. Known for his humour, colourful suits, quick wit, and the ability to make almost anyone laugh, Danu believes life is best lived with good conversations, great food, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you spot him, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly part of an interview… or at least a really entertaining conversation.
