We booked a table at The Lankan Crabs in Bangsar. 6 of us had a sumptuous lunch and the food was really really the best. We shall definitely return and the staffs were very efficient in serving and tending to our needs. The manager spoke to us about the dishes to explain what they used etc. Exterior of this restaurant looks a bit rundown but once I entered, I was or we were rather surprised by the ambience deco. Cozy and not so intimidating environment yet makes one feel at ease and comfortable. We were so stuffed!

Many Malaysians will be familiar with South Indian cuisine. Hence the question, what are the similarities or differences between Sri Lankan cuisine and South Indian cuisine. They certainly share some similarities due to their geographic proximity and historical connections. However, there are significant differences in their flavour profiles, cooking methods, and ingredients.
Here are some ways in which Sri Lankan cuisine differs from South Indian cuisine:
Use of coconut
Coconut is a staple ingredient in Sri Lankan cuisine and is used in various forms such as coconut milk, coconut oil, and grated coconut. It is used in curries, sambols (chutneys), and desserts. South Indian cuisine also uses coconut, but it is not as prevalent as in Sri Lankan cuisine.
Spices
Sri Lankan cuisine uses a unique blend of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg, which gives it a distinct flavour. South Indian cuisine also uses spices, but the combination is different, and the dishes are usually spicier.
Seafood
Sri Lanka is an island nation, and its cuisine includes a lot of seafood dishes, including fish curries and prawn dishes. South Indian cuisine also includes seafood dishes, but they are not as prominent.
Rice and curry
Rice and curry are the staple dishes in both Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisine. However, the preparation and presentation differ. Sri Lankan rice and curry usually include a variety of curries, sambols, and papadums served on a plate of rice. South Indian cuisine, on the other hand, has a different style of serving rice and curry, where it is usually served on a banana leaf.
Influences
Sri Lankan cuisine has been influenced by various cultures, including Portuguese, Dutch, and British. As a result, it has a unique fusion of flavours. South Indian cuisine, on the other hand, has been influenced by Dravidian, Chettinad, and Hyderabadi cuisines.
