OMG Sri Lankan Seafood at MINISTRY OF CRAB! | Food Tour in Colombo, Sri Lanka!

Nelum Kole Restaurant - To begin the day we started off at Nelum Kole Restaurant, a Sri Lankan food restaurant serving a massive buffet of different Sri Lankan food dishes. Overall, the food was good, but not the best Sri Lankan food I had. Flavors tasted too similar to each other. It is a good place to taste variety though.

Dilmah Tea Lounge - After lunch we headed to a Dilmah Tea Lounge and drank a few teas all of which were very good.

Ministry of Crab - Rated as one of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, Ministry of Crab is one of the most iconic restaurant serving seafood and especially Sri Lankan crabs in Colombo. It’s a high end restaurant, with prices that go with it, but I do have to admit that it was extremely tasty. The river shrimp, the black pepper crab was delicious. Price - about 30,000 LKR ($165.53) per OMG crab - I think it’s overpriced - but it is good.

I love this! I’m in bed watching this during the pandemic, UK lockdown 3.0, reminiscing my time in Sri Lanka from two years ago 😭. I lived with homestay family for a few months and it was truly amazing but These travel videos of Sri Lanka is giving me bittersweet feelings! Hoping I can visit again soon. Thank you Mark for these vlogs! Your kindness and openness is amazing to see!

I honestly think that what makes Mark so unique and probably the best food reviewer is his kindness, his amazing family that he travels with, his openness to trying all types of food and the fact that he appreciates all cultures. ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you

I used to work at MoC when I was trying to peruse a career in cooking. It’s good to see most of the people I worked with are still there and I can see couple of kitchen assistants has made it into the kitchen as well. They have so much passion in serving good food and its a great place to fine dine with other options apart from crab. Been in Australia for 6 year and hoping to go their when I get back.
