Authentic Northern Sri Lankan Cuisine in TTDI, KL 🦀️
Visited Yarl (for the 3rd time) & this time we’re trying their Crabs! Nestled in the busy streets of TTDI, Yarl is an authentic Northern Sri Lankan restaurant that serves a wide range of traditional Sri Lankan food with authentic recipes that originate from the city of Jaffna.
Here’s what we had:
🦀️ Classic Sri Lankan Crab Curry [RM18.75/g]
🦀️ Jaffna Style Crab Curry [RM18.75/g]
Exclusively available for dinner, both the crabs were super fresh & meaty, soaked in flavourful yet aromatic curry with coconut milk and spices. For us, the curry wasn’t too spicy, and was rich & flavorful, best paired with tender crab. Gloves are provided so don’t worry of getting your hands dirty while open it up!
🦀️ Crab Meat Curry [RM85]
If you want to enjoy crabs without the mess, then make your way over and enjoy their bowl full of Sri Lankan Crab Meat Curry that’s perfect with rice!
We also had their:
🍛 Egg Kothu [RM12]🌟
Wonderfully packed full of flavour, colour & texture, Kothu is actually a popular street dish widely consumed throughout Sri Lanka that consists of roti flatbread, aromatic spices, vegetables & tasty meat. The word “kothu” means “to chop” in Tamil, referring to method of preparation.
🍥 Idiyappam [RM9.50]
This is a set of 3 string hoppers served with iddi sambol, tomato onion curry & sothi! The string hoppers consist of rice flour pressed into noodles, laid into a flat disc-like shape & steamed. Personally loved how well it was paired with sothi (coconut milk curry)!
🥥 Appam: Our all-time favourite from Yarl was the Sweet Appam [RM5.50]🌟 that was perfect after a heavy meal! It’s a pancake made from fermented rice batter & coconut milk. If you love ice cream, try out their Ice Cream Appam [RM6] that’s light & fragrant!
🥤 Drinks: We enjoyed Nallen’s Bru Coffee [RM5.90] that was rich, creamy & frothy. For refreshing drinks, try their Mango Yogurt Blends [RM11] & Watermelon Juice [RM9] that will quench your thirst!
