Hikkaduwa , a coastal home by the endless sea. 🌊🌴
An island calm by ocean's side,
Where joyful spirits gently glide.
The sunset spills its golden glow,
As laughter drifts in whispers low.
A tranquil place where worries cease,
A coastal paradise, pure peace.
A haven sweet, with skies alight,
Embraced by day, kissed by night.

String Hopper Wraps in Kenda Leaves: A Timeless Culinary Delight 🌿
In a fast-paced world where modern convenience often overshadows tradition, it’s a heartwarming surprise to find shops that still serve food wrapped in Kenda leaves(Macaranga peltata is a plant found in northern Thailand, Sri Lanka and India).
One such delicacy is the humble string hopper, or idiyappam, which takes on a new level of charm when carefully bundled in the Kenda leaf.
For many Sri Lankans, the sight of Kenda leaves wrapped around string hoppers is not just about a meal – it’s a connection to the past. These leaves, known for their natural fragrance and eco-friendly appeal, have been used for generations as an organic wrapping material. The subtle aroma from the leaf seeps into the warm string hoppers, enhancing their flavor in the most natural way.
Beyond taste, there’s something deeply nostalgic about unwrapping food from a leaf. It brings back memories of simpler times when food was lovingly prepared by hand, and sustainability was part of daily life, not just a trend. In a time when plastic and artificial packaging dominate, finding shops that still embrace this tradition feels like a small but significant victory for cultural preservation.
In many parts of Sri Lanka, small shops and local eateries have continued to honor this tradition. They stand as a reminder that despite the march of progress, there are still places where food and culture remain intertwined. And for those who stumble upon these shops, enjoying string hoppers wrapped in Kenda leaves feels like rediscovering a piece of home,a simple pleasure wrapped in nature’s own packaging.
So, the next time you come across a shop offering string hoppers wrapped in Kenda leaves, take a moment to savor not just the meal but the history and care that come with it.
