A couple of weekends ago, we saw this outside a beach party at Happy Banana restaurant in Unawatuna. Despite all-night shenanigans and the fierce glare of the rising sun, we couldn’t help but notice this dastardly sign. And our bloodshot, bleary eyes were worse off for it.
Never mind that even the mangy stray dogs on the beach were allowed into the premises without a cover charge at the door. But what would’ve the foreign tourists have thought of the appalling quality of masking tape used to uphold this sign? And then the typo. If you are gonna piss people off at least do it properly. It’s ‘Entrance’, dammit.
But the bigger question is what did the locals - who actually support this popular Sri Lankan bar and restaurant during the day - do that night? Pay up at the door like suckers; bleach their skin, hair, and eyeballs like good sports to get past; or take their business elsewhere in protest? Your guess is as good as ours.
64 years of independence and this is where it’s at. Aiiiiiight!
According to the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation, the Yellowfin Tuna and Bigeye Tuna are among the species that have been over fished. In fact, Greenpeace has added the fish to its Seafood Red List.
In a bid to help in these conservation efforts to protect the tuna, Sri Lankan bakers have decided to go easy on the fish stuffing found in the buns pictured above. This has resulted in quite a few disgruntled ‘fish bun’ fans having to reluctantly switch to the more sombre ‘vegetable buns’.
Reliable sources say that the Parliament will sit on this issue at the next session.

It’s like that jail rape nightmare. Via @MegTegal, who likes the food at Bars Cafe but “always passed on the crab stuff just ‘cause of the title! Creepeh.” Totally.
