Hoppers! An authentic Sri Lankan delicacy much celebrated for its awesome taste is quite popular in city of Melbourne. Even though there are several Sri Lankan restaurants and cafes in and around Melbourne, not every of them serves Hoppers. Hoppers are usually served as plain hoppers, egg topped hopper, coconut milk sweet hopper etc.
Also it’s good to know that this is exactly the same tasting variant of the super-popular Kerala Palappam (a South Indian name of the hopper served in Kerala, India). The main reason is that hoppers can be only enjoyed at their best when cooked and relished from a live kitchen.
