I recently had a short time to grab a takeway meal during a busy evening and spied La Kandy Sri Lankan restaurant. There it was, in the corner of a small shopping centre, itself on the corner of Wynnum Road and Bognor Street, which I've visited heaps of times, yet I hadn't noticed La Kandy before. Apparently it's been there for months and the food seems really good. I ordered the Beef Madras, which is almost Sri Lankan, but as the nice gentleman explained when we were discussing the menu, the predominantly Sri Lankan fare is joined by some Thai, Indian and Malaysian dishes too.
Anyway I was impressed not only by the quick service and friendly dudes, but also OMG by the huge array of traditional Sri Lankan dishes lining one entire wall of the place. Yes, I'd stumbled in on a Friday night, when the all you can eat Hopper buffet was in full swing ($19.95 - on Saturday night too).
It looked and smelled so good. I'd paid for my $14.50 takeaway curry at this stage and had to run, but I'm definitely going back to sample some of those dishes with the wonderful aromas and right price. read more
