Far from your typical Sunday Brunch, today's pop-up at One Michelin Starred "Cheek By Jowl" was a celebration of the humble hopper, a staple of Sri Lankan cuisine.
Made fresh on the spot with the team from "Lankan Filling Station" in Sydney, both the egg and plain hoppers tasted so good mixed and matched with the impressive spread of Gentle Fish Curry, Red Prawn Curry and a Black Pork one, a mild dhal and three kinds of sambols of varying levels of spiciness.
We were also served a refreshing Gotu Kula salad and my personal favourite - the pickled jackfruit.
However, even before these arrived, things got rolling with a plate of freshly-fried crab cutlets. I really enjoyed how they were crisped on the outside and generous with the moist crab meat within.
Our sweet ending was spiced jaggery (it's a type of sugar) ice-cream accessorised with crunchy cashews and black sesame.
