WTF - Order on the Street

  • 08 March 2018


What: Hulftsdorp Night Market
Where: Abdul Hameed Street
When: Every day from 6pm to 12 midnight

WTF missed out on having some street food for a long time. Your're my favourite and I, love challenging our Immune system. 

My friend Sam has been speaking about Hulftsdorp night market, for some time. I first took the challenge of spelling it on my google map. It suggested every rural country in the world, except the actual street I wanted. I really need to check my spellings.

After I got there I understood the electricity of good food that draws you to this place. The vibe is buzzing with busy vendors frying and flipping on either side.

A few things to keep in mind as you go there:

- If you can bury your purse in your cleavage, please do so.
- Don't even think of driving through the street.
- Keep your road rage at home.
- Always be adventurous

Food pricing is super affordable, as the competition is sky-high. You can enjoy everything from a delicious burger to a Shawarma and so much more for the price range of Rs 200-250.

My fist stop was the Osman tea room, where they had Roast chicken- sorry burnt chicken! I sat so close to the fire that I think part of me is still burnt! But when it was served with their coleslaw and sauces it was so good, I had no mercy over that Burger.

Close by, there is the FB bun corner, inspired by Facebook, where I had their Charlie Burger priced at two different levels: normal at Rs140 and special at Rs200. Comparing the two Charlies, the Malay Street Charlie still wins for me.

To finish things off, I dined at Imis boutique for a super Narang juice with pepper and salt, and I was warned that on Saturdays you can barely get a foot in.

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.
