If you are going to buy ingredients on your trip, I'd try to do it on the return, otherwise you'll have to consider Sri Lankan regulations as well.
Return from CMB is via NRT. I will not have time during a 4 hour layover in Japan to leave the airport and go find a grocery store. I figured Hing Kong would be my best bet. Any foodstuffs I have purchased in Hong Kong I can put in the checked bag for the journey home.

Unless I am going to check in a box (Iam in J on CX so I have the baggage allowance) I will have to forgo miso, kewpie mayo, packages of oshinko, etc and stick to packages of dry foods.
