The red truck by the racecourse
A food truck that grew a dining hall
Restaurant Two started as a Sri Lankan food truck serving simple, fiery local food and dishes from overseas to diners at roadside tables. Today the red truck and its black-and-red dining car sit beside a covered hall on Race Course Road, and the cooking is just as hot.
