Hi Audrey, I think the location you are referring to is not in the Jaffna Peninsula itself. The only place of interest with regard to LTTE war time was Velvetithurai, where the LTTE leaders residence was there. But not it is not available since it has been demolished. Places with refreshment stalls are toward Kilinochchi district, with the Pudukudu Irripu museum, Underground Hideout, and LTTE Swimming Pool,
