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

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.
