Who doesn’t crave Thai food? Unlike the ever-sopopular Chinese fried rice and chilli paste that has even influenced ordinary shops in and out of Colombo, Thai food has that extra something which makes it more authentic. Bringing in a unique Thai flavour to Colombo’s culinary scene is the Thai Heritage Food Truck (THFT) located in the heart of Havelock Town. THFT is the brainchild of

Uditha Sunnadeniy­a, his wife Himashi and sister Savindri.

As a regular visitor to Thailand, Uditha has been a fan of Thai street food for a while. As the owner of Cey-nor seafood restaurant, Uditha has been in the business for a while. The Thai Heritage Food Truck offers a range of delicacies prepared by Suri

Wan Yang Thong, its in-house chef. Quite interestin­gly, all sauces too are made in house to add that extra touch of authentici­ty. Mrs. Suri has been employed at Lemongrass, Barracuda and several other restaurant­s before she decided to bring in her culinary expertise to the Thai Heritage Food Truck. She says she likes to cook and as we observed during our visit, she is seen cooking for the most part of the day to entice the customers with her culinary magic. What’s quite unique about this Thai food outlet is that the food is served in generous portions at an affordable rate (an opportunit­y that all foodies look forward to but seldom find).
