Baros Terrace Bar Private Island Fresh And Delicious Food Even On The Most Remote Private Islands

When staying on your resort Island there are usually a choice of the main restaurants, that serve a vast array of International food on a buffet basis. Or, if you choose you can eat in the A La Carte restaurants. If you stay on half or full board basis then meals are taken in the main restaurant or a supplement can be paid to dine elsewhere, which often makes a nice change- many Islands have a great selection of Thai, Indian, Chinese and Seafood restaurants.

Wherever you dine we have found that the food is excellent, and there is always plenty of it.

Maldivian is a nice mix of beautiful fresh salads, seafood and delicate curry dishes, very similar to Thai and Chinese.

Right by the beach overlooking the neighbouring island of Dhiffushi is where guests can find The Asian Wok.

Book your next summer holiday here and visit the Maldives! Go to www.maldivesdivetravel.com

The Asian Wok Maldives The Asian Wok Maldives

The Asian Wok Maldives Walkway Entrance

The mecca of Asian cuisine here in the Maldives. The Asian Wok is one of the Maldives more popular Asian restaurants. The restaurant is famous for their takes on local Maldivian dishes, Sri Lankan, Mongolian and of course Chinese! Upon arriving you get filled with excitement because the aroma starts to invade your senses and your stomach starts wobbling around with joy. The restaurant sported a nice al fresco dining experience under the stars which was a nice distraction while we were waiting for our food.

The Asian Wok Maldives Inside The Asian Wok Maldives

See all that food inside the Asian Wok Maldives

We ordered stir fried yellow noodles with vegetables, Kutti Rothi which is a kind of stir fried bread with vegetables, Crispy fried tofu which was simple but surprisingly great tasting, a special kind of rice that smelled really nice was served along with a whole plethora of vegetarian fares for our Hindu friend Anil. For me the ultimate surprise was how good the vegetarian dishes were! they were infused with the taste of meat or by some kind of sauce but it was delightful. Stuffing yourself with light vegetables and tofu instead of oily meat is much for satisfying this time around. Don’t get me wrong I am a huge fan of meaty dishes, but today I may consider going veg if the food is this good back home. Another popular fare at the Asian Wok is their iced coffee, it is a good refreshment at any time of the day. It perks you up and cools you down! Ah! the good life! Service was a breeze as can be expect on highly efficient Asian restaurants and the price is really not something you would think about when dining here. I’d pay double and eat here everyday if I could. Good eats!

One of the Male’s most popular excursions is the Whale Submarine! Find out why its a must!

For more information on the Maldives visit www.wwwmaldives.com Visit the Maldives on your next summer holiday with www.maldivesdivetravel.com

The Whale submarine unfortunately is not for whale watching. Its main purpose is for looking at life on the reef. It is highly recommended for kids and most non-scuba diving folk. As the submarine departs from a point off the coast you have to get a boat from either the airport or jetty number 1. One boat picks up from both to take you to the whale submarine. You should book ahead of time and make sure you get on the boat around 30 minutes before the schedules submarine departure.

The Whale Submarine takes a few minutes before it gets into its dive spot and then descends at about 35 meters while the passengers can gaze out through large round windows. Here they will begin to see a huge variety of fish that are attracted to the food that the submarine dispenses around it. The view of the underwater life is great! you can even spot the smaller creatures like lionfish and clownfish that live on the anemones. The sub then nears a reef wall and lights up the whole reef area to show natural occurring colors within the spectrum of the sea. Its really quite an amazing color splash!

meeru island dining Dining At The Meeru Island

The Meeru Island has numerous delightful restaurants, During our stay we could not resist sampling all the gastronomic pleasures that were waiting for us at the Meeru island.

The Dhoni Bar

First of we hustled for the nearest bar for a quick refreshing fix of cold refreshments.  The Dhoni bar is most definitely the place to go for drinks all day and all evening. It is conveniently located beside a pool for a quick dip and it also serves light snacks like chicken in a basket or some cheese toast, I did not bother with the burgers and the beef. Besides the alcoholic drinks which were always delightful the mango juice and the milkshakes were easily my favourites.

The Asian Wok Restaurant

As the name suggest it serves mainly Asian put more specifically Japanese because it specializes in tasty and entertaining Teppanyaki served off the grill full of flavor and flame. Located just beside the beach which is quite an experience for digesting a big order of Teppanyaki.

Hungaanu Coffee Shop

For those who would like to chill out and enjoy a great cup of coffee with a great view of the sea. It is here where all mornings should start all the time. Also located beside the swimming pool where your treats can be served while you are floating around. No worries if you missed the breakfast buffet the Hungaanu offers an ala-carte breakfast menu for late risers. Don’t miss out on the fresh fruit and ice cream!

Goma Restaurant

This restaurant provides such a unique dining experience that guests of the Meeru should not miss. Behold a restaurant/yacht that is anchored on the lagoon. Providing an amazing view of the turquoise horizon and help yourself to grilled specialties meticulously prepared with the freshest ingredients and seafood.
