And so could you! Meet this near centennial couple having  a blast at the Maldives!

Book your next summer holiday here! Visit www.maldivesdivetravel.com

Meet this delightful couple we met while touring at the island of Dhoni. He was 90 years old and she was 89. They are here in paradise with their daughter. You see at first you think what are they doing here, They look like they could not barely walk around to enjoy the island. But we just found this couple so interesting we decided to sit down with them. They told us quite a lot of stories ( well thats what old folks do right?) After a few good laughs and some old jokes (no pun intended) Then they mentioned that they snorkel around the island at least twice a day. A brief nod from their daughter confirmed it as I glanced my awestruck face at her. If these people can enjoy life to the fullest even with such limitations then how much more can we? This is a good reminder that you are never too old to experience paradise!

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.

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!
