My trip to Sri Lanka was almost 4 months ago and I'm still feeding off it! It\u2019s the travel destination on everybody\u2019s lips and I can warmly recommend it to everybody. While I was there, I took part in an amazing wellbeing week hosted by a group called Paper Tiger<\/strong> and held at Talalla Retreat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paper Tiger<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a Sydney based health and wellbeing duo named Casey and Jenna. They offer fitness classes, retreats and\u00a0so called Balance Breaks as well as\u00a0health media (videos etc.). These lovely girls started their wellness camps because they know how it feels to work too hard and struggle to find a\u00a0balance between our professional and personal lives.<\/p>\n

Paper Tiger is their version of a health \u2019retreat\u2019 \u2013 but they\u2019re all about balance. Amazing locations, great people, incredible food, lots of exercise and some pampering and personal development too. And there is no better place than Sri Lanka to experience all of that. What I really loved about the camp with Casey and Jenna was the combination of relaxing, sport and cooking. I fell in love with all the different spices, fruit and vegetables I had never seen before and the tasty curries I ate\u00a0almost every day. Sri Lankans love spices and whatever you eat, it will make your palate sing. Curry and rice are\u00a0the main dishes\u00a0in Sri Lanka. They tend to add fish, meat and coconut, a staple ingredient, in some form or another. I particularly\u00a0enjoyed the coconut salsa omelette in the mornings. Something else I had never had before but grew to love was Sago pudding with passion fruit. It was the Paper Tiger signature\u00a0dish \u2013 you'll find the recipe at the end of this post. Sago\u00a0is a type of starch extracted from the spongy centre or pith of various tropical palm stems. In Sri Lankan cuisine, it is mostly used\u00a0for pancakes, but can also be shaped into little dumplings or mixed with\u00a0boiling water or coconut milk. And that\u2019s what I did \u2013 I tried to make delicious Sago Porridge. Please find my creation with some summery fruit below. And\u00a0Here<\/a>'s\u00a0more about my Sri Lanka trip in April and the delicious food I ate there (in German though).<\/p>\n

It's THE go-to health retreat in Sri Lanka and YOU can be there!<\/strong>\u00a0If you out yourself as a Foodtastic fan, you even get\u00a0$100USD off<\/strong>.
