Try a beautiful dessert at Sri Lankan restaurants in Melbourne
Sri Lanka may be known for its seafood, delicious curries and spicy flavours, but there is a sweet side to this country's cuisine that is not to be missed. When dining at Sri Lankan restaurants in Melbourne, don't forget to leave room for a delicious and traditional dessert. One of the most famous desserts is wattalappam, which is a cream caramel dish made with palm sugar, cashew nuts and coconut milk. Or, another delicious treat is buffalo curd made with palm treacle, as is the semolina and jaggery pudding made with semolina, jaggery, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Of course, all of this should be washed down with a beautiful and light Sri Lankan tea. And with plenty of variations to choose from in Melbourne’s Sri Lankan restaurants, your palate will be cleansed and refreshed after sipping a gorgeous ceylon black or green tea while treating yourself to a tasty dessert.
