Curries prepared with coconut milk and a curry paste
blended from roasted onions, chilli peppers, herbs and
spices are a usual fare. Mas Riha and Kukulhu Riha are
the popular curries made with fish and chicken
respectively, and a blend of spices. Roshi or flatbread is
the common accompaniment to the Rihas. Garudiya,
yet another popular dish is a fish broth made from
such cured tuna, while Rihaakuru, a fish paste
consumed with rice daily is made by concentrating
the fish broth, while Kulhi Boakibaa is a fish cake
made from tuna and coconut.
Begin your day with some Maldivian breakfast, Mas
Huni, for the fish eaters and Barabao Mas Huni, a
pumpkin based alternative for the vegans; gorge on
some curries over the day and end with Dhonkeyo
Kajuru, a friend banana cake flavoured with vanilla or
rose water.
The locals in Maldives do not consume alcoholic
beverages, however, alcohol is served in the
resorts. Sip on to some tender coconut water or
try the Raa, which is toddy tapped from palm
trees, while you bask in the sun. There is yet
another irresistible dining option on this island -
underwater dining, amidst the fascinating
underwater world.
Sea restaurant, Ithaa, Conrad are some of the
popular ones. This is inevitably an expensive affair,
an approximate meal for two being US $ 400. The
resorts generally serve the popular global cuisines.
So for all those who do not wish to venture with
the local cuisine, there is no cause for worry.
