Why Melbourne is called, \u201cLittle Ceylon\u201d

\u201cHoppers described as the love-child of a crepe & crumpet. It has become a very popular street food in Sri Lanka, in big towns and rural areas. It is now considered as a special \u2018super staple food\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

When Australia opened doors for Southern Asians in the late fifties and early sixties, it was a great opportunity for most Sri Lankans to migrate to Australia, those who disliked SWRD\u2019s \u201cSinhala only within 24 hour policy\u201d This gave a great impetus specially for the burgher community then, contributing to the good of the country, excelling on sports, athletics, trade, law enforcement, and so on, to leave her shores for greener pastures in Australia, and the loss this enterprising community is felt, even today in that developing country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Melbourne was the place preferred by many Migrants at the time, whilst a few professionals and others settled down in Sydney. Today, if you walk along the streets of Springvale in the city of Dandenong, Glen Waverley, Noble Park, Broadmeadows, no matter which way you turn, you are bound to \u201cbump-into\u201d a Sri Lankan with a warm smile and a greeting of, \u201cHello Machang, how are you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sri Lankan food industry in Melbourne is flourishing like no other; both Sydney and Brisbane run a poor second. In Sydney, to enjoy treats like hoppers you need to travel many miles, there is one place called the \u2018Blue Elephant\u201d in Pennant Hills, where you need to give them prior notice. There are a few food caterers for home parties making hoppers on a circular device where at least ten hoppers could be cooked in one go. There is one lady by the name of \u201cKumarika\u201d fairly famous, catering hoppers cooked on the spot for home parties, in Sydney. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ask Dallas Achilles a talented musician, settled down in Melbourne for many decades, about Sri Lankan restaurants. He would say, \u201cThose living in close proximity to Clayton are blessed with an abundance of restaurants specialising in Sri Lankan Cuisine.\u201d His favourite spots are Walawwa Restaurant, Caf\u00e9 Ceylon, Kites, Merqury Inn, Fab and Cake Point, La Festiva under new management serving a variety of Sri Lankan and International Cuisine, Merqury Inn may have got their spelling wrong: It should read \u201cMercury\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lankans love Pizzas just like the way they love hoppers. Visit La Festiva in Springvale, they serve the best special Sri Lankan flavoured Gourmet Pizza, and for their dishes like Ambul Thiyal, Chicken devilled, Curry chicken and potatoes and Lamb Korma.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then there is the \u201cCorlam Kitchen in Glen Waverley for lunch. They serve a special Awadhi Dum biriyani, also called \u201cPukka\u201d. Breathe in the aroma of this princely mutton biryani, cooked the royal Awadhi style, a perfect delicious meal for your lunch or dinner feast with your family and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This \u201cspot\u201d is available for birthday parties, celebrations, Graduations, weddings and Anniversaries, etc. The Chef\u2019s special at Corlam kitchen is \u201cChilli Crabs\u201d only a few other restaurants, if any,serve this spicy dish.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dallas would recommend \u2018The Fab Curry & Pizza in Centre Road in Bentleigh for hoppers and pizzas. This is a rather little \u201cshop\u201d at the far end of Bentleigh\u2019s Centre Road, and primarily a \u201ctake away\u201d Business. It is fairly rare to see a combination- Sri Lankan Shop\/Restaurant which serves both \u201cHoppers\u201d and also a \u201cCombination Curry Pizza\u201dWhen you visit this little place, you are always welcomed by a friendly Sri Lankan lady while being overpowered, at the same time with the enticing aroma of exotic spices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dallas says that they serve 5 hoppers, an egg hopper and a bowl of chicken, beef or fish curry with sambol for $9. There are very good reviews on this Fab Curry & Pizza joint, and a worthwhile spot for a delightful tasty cuisine experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Ceylon in Centre Road, Clarinda is another eatery. On their \u201cMenu\u201d they feature Roti, Parata, Pittu with curry, wafer and Masala Thosai with fish, beef, chicken and vegetable curries. Vegans would love to patronise this joint.<\/span>
\nThe nearby restaurants are- Champion in Clayton, Clayton Fish, Merqury Inn, Clayton and Kites in Clayton.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWalawwa\u201d- \u2018The Bungalow\u2019 at Sandown Regency, Noble Park<\/span>
\nThis is a favourite \u201cEatery\u201d, says Dallas. The best street foods of Sri Lanka are served here, at best prices in Melbourne for $ 25, and you could enjoy all you can eat. They have a dinner buffet with live music and entertainment. They have \u201cSet Meals\u201d too, beginning with \u201cStarters\u201d and snacks, soups, Main dishes like savoury rice, curry pasta with small pieces of roti stir fried with spicy vegetables and cheese, Chicken seafood and deserts.<\/span>
\nThey recently organised a Baila Masala Boogie Night with live music on one Saturday<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many other restaurants owned and run by Sri Lankans in Melbourne. Ask Dallas- he will direct you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dallas mentions a good Hopper Eatery next door to \u201cCurry & Chips\u201d It is called \u201cYamu\u201d owned by Upali.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many other \u201cEateries\u201d by Sri Lankan chefs other areas of Melbourne and outskirts, not visited to write about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sydney as was mentioned earlier, boasts just a few Sri Lankan eateries and not within close proximity of each other, although they DO have more Chinese Restaurants than Melbourne.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it any wonder then, that Melbourne has been \u201cnicknamed\u201d Little Ceylon\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Dallas, your information is appreciated.<\/span>
