Optimism

Egg hoppers in the making.  I was invited into the kitchen stall for a photo op. 

Even when a Brother or Sister is having doubts about how food is going to settle in the system, eventually some grub has to go in. Or, as My Heart said "I don't care about the outcome, this is good!"  

We found a likely Hotel on the bustling Main Street of Nuwala Eriya.   Confusingly, "Hotels" are small restaurants, not places with room for the night. We ordered up some chicken biriyani to start and dug in, caution to the wind. 

I eyeballed the egg hoppers and ordered one up. Here you can see the special pans used for making these bowl shaped crepe-like goodies. Made with Rice flour batter and an egg in the bottom, hoppers are perfect for scooping up curry or "gravy" as the table top bowls of sauce are called. 

What's left of the biriyani and that fast disappearing. 

Dinner consumed and enjoyed, we headed home for a well deserved rest. 

Ed. Note:  Our intrepid traveler's did survive the meal, their shared tummy troubles, and are on the mend enough for a very early morning Trek on the morrow.
