Crunchy Hoppers Success Story – 5 years and counting…
Walking along the streets in Sri Lanka, one of the best street foods you come across will be hoppers or ‘Appa’ as Sri Lankans call it. Bowl-shaped pancake made with fermented rice flour and coconut milk, and optionally topped with an egg, it is a traditional Sri Lankan food loved by big and small, rich and poor, natives and tourists alike. It’s just the “Happiness on a plate”!
So, with this obsession over Hoppers, it was obviously one of the best things Prasanna and Dushyantha missed when they migrated to Australia years ago. But luckily, Prasanna who came to Melbourne as a student had an opportunity to learn the secret of making hoppers when he was working at a restaurant during his early years. With his naturally curious mind, Prasanna played with the ingredients and improved the recipe to match his taste which is now the ‘signature taste’ of Crunchy Hoppers.
Prasanna started making hoppers to his friends, just for fun and then to their friends and gradually the hopper business started. Working as a full- time employee, he did a few parties only in the weekends. And with the increased workload after being a family, Prasanna was having second thoughts about doing hopper parties as he wanted to spend more time with his family and kids.
It’s during this critical time, Dushyantha migrated to Melbourne and met Prasanna, his childhood friend, for like 20 years. Prasanna and Dushyantha had been friends for more than half of their lives and they had a great chemistry between them ever since they’ve known each other. When the best friends were reunited, Dushyantha understood that Prasanna had discovered the divine taste in hoppers. “Machan, this is the best of the best! We should do this together” was his ultimate response. Hence, two hands were joined with the determination and courage to reach the clouds. Apart from being the best friends, now Dushyantha and Prasanna are business partners, a solid partnership which only strengthened with the obstacles on their way.
