THE TEAM
Sam and Mrs. Sam
Sam started with a few hopper pans, a gas burner, and a food truck. Word got around fast. Within months, regulars were driving from across Melbourne to sit outside at the Cranbourne truck on a Thursday evening.
Sri Lankan food is personal for Sam's family, and that shows in everything they cook. Chef Sam ensures every guest leaves well fed. Mrs. Sam ensures every guest feels welcome.
Our StoryTHE CUISINE
Sri Lankan food, explained simply
Sri Lankan cooking is all about bold spices, fermented rice crepes called hoppers, and a style of stir-fry called kottu that the whole street can smell from a block away.
THE MENU
