This was the first ever hopper cooked at Riley St, done on a camping stove as it was still a building site and there was no gas. (As it turned out, we still wouldn’t have gas until the day before we opened…) This week you can have and have the last ones. Open Wednesday from 5pm and 12pm - 10pm Thursday to Saturday.

Sausage sizzle this Friday, 12pm until sold out. We have made a batch of Lankan lingus, a clove scented pork sausage. We will be cooking it out the front on our hibachi and serving it on fresh kade paan, buttered of course, with tamarind chilli sauce and a sweet and sour onion sambol. Only for takeaway but best enjoyed, mingling out the front with a drink in hand.
