Honest verdict on String Hoppers — good but not exceptional

String Hoppers here was solidly made — fiery and aromatic without anything to complain about. goraka dried gamboge was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Sri Lankan cuisine differs markedly between Sinhalese, Tamil, and Burgher traditions on the same island. The a hill country tea estate restaurant atmosphere was pleasant enough. king coconut water was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of String Hoppers this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
