“I arrived by boat as a refugee, I was a jeweller in Sri Lanka, but I needed a job, so I went into the. X Dreams, a humble Toongabbie eatery with just a takeaway counter and 25 seats, was started by Umakanthan Yogalingam. It sounds like the entrance to a Sri Lankan hawker market, but it’s not. In front of you there’s a range of takeout hot foods often found at chicken shops – roti-wrapped packages of fish curry, crisp rolls stuffed with minced lamb, various samosas and savoury chickpea biscuits. On the right there’s four fluoro vests peering into a treasure trove of curry-filled bain-maries. On the left there’s a tiny kitchen with a lone chef pounding buttery dough balls and spinning sheets of roti. His hoppers are only served after 4pm, but they do a number of other excellent dishes from 10am, including string hoppers (lacy rice-noodle nests), a fiery fish curry, and kottu roti. The owner, Yogalingam says he has frequent requests from the Sri Lankan community to cater for hopper parties in homes, but right now he can't keep up with the demand. Tamil food is by far the most heavily represented. The eateries here – mostly takeaways, with a few seats – represent food from across the different ethnic groups of Sri Lanka. Drop in some time and enjoy special dishes.
