- By Shakya Wickramana­yake

They say the best way to experience the culture of a city is through its street food. Albeit messier and less refined than most dishes, street food is undeniably satisfying and true to its roots. The Hilton Colombo’s premier restaurant, Graze Kitchen now invites diners to take a globe-trotting culinary journey through the cities of the world every Monday night, with their Hawkers’ Market buffet. The buffet features street food from across Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, India, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, as well as from Turkey, Italy and the US. Each of which has been curated by their inhouse chefs, specialisi­ng in national cuisines.

Guests will find quintessen­tial

street foods such as crisp Vietnamese rice paper rolls, Thai tom yum and laski, Malaysian roast chicken and rice, and American hotdogs. You’d also come across lesser known but no less delicious items, such as the Italian Agnolotti and the Japanese

Tamago Yaki - the former, a delicious breaded and fried ravioli, while the latter is a sweet tasting omelette on a stick.

Invoking true street style, Graze kitchen also offers several live food stations, adding a visual element to

the culinary experience.So take a stroll down Galle Face with their achcharu (pickle) stand, the bustling streets of Chennai, or the Italian piazza, and enjoy the best of street food the world has to offer at the Hawkers’ Market.
