Third Street Promenade
Santa Monica, California 90401

The wait is almost over, on August 23rd 2008 the third annual Sri Lanka Day Expo will bring to you the tastiest Sri Lankan cuisine at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica from 10 AM to 10 PM.

Annually, Sri Lanka Foundation throws the biggest event on the 3rd Street Promenade and this year will be no exception with more than a dozen food vendors serving delicious Sri Lankan cuisine and two stages packed with non-stop entertainment.

The first year at Sri Lanka Day, the food was sold out by 1 PM and in the years following the demand was well met, but come early to avoid disappointment!

You will see the most exciting live cooking you have seen, with;

* Hoppers-crispy pancake type item made with many a twirl. The edges are crispy and the middle is soft. Usually eaten with meat or veg curry.

*Rice and curry-made Sri Lankan style.
* Kottu Roti-similar to a mongolian barbecue-made with eggs, meat and vegetables-a treat to watch the cooking and taste good!

*String hoppers-soft stringy type item accompanied by curry-delicious!
*Pol rotti-bread made of flour and coconut-served with spicy onions or curry-yummy!!

*Sri Lankan savory short eats-that’s the name for Sri Lankan snacks similar to Tapas and Empanadas-once you start with these you can't stop!

*Sri Lankan Sweets-Colorful and sweet-love at first bite!

A stage on Wilshire/3rd Street corner will host Sri Lankan and American musicians and the stage on Broadway/3rd Street corner will be hosting the Miss Sri Lanka-America and the Miss Teen Sri Lanka America beauty pageants and teen performers.
