The Maldivian Cuisine has ‘seafood’ as its second name and this certainly does not come out as a surprise. Being a small island, there is a fresh supply of sea food from all round this city ensuring every home, every restaurant and every hotel is packed with sea food all year long. The cuisines of Maldives are usually made up of a combination of sea food combined with traditional spices and local ingredients. Most of their cuisines are influenced from that of neighbouring countries like India and Sri Lanka but all in all it has its very own unique flavour that makes it purely Maldivian.
Sweets and desserts in Maldives are also an important part of the Maldivian meal. Some traditional sweets are based with coconut, another material found in abundance in the Maldives and others with sugar, flour and essence. To try out sampling the many little Maldivian delights, visit the local cafes also known as Hotaas. Here you can try Hedhikaa, prepared with a combination of fish, lime, spices and coconut, Bajiya, fish stuffed pastry, Keemia, fish rolls, Masroshi fish pancakes and Kulhi Boakiba which are fish cakes. These go perfectly with black tea. Conclude your little adventure with the delicious sweet meats of Maldives. Bodibaiy is a popular dessert made out of rice and sugar and so is Foniboakiba, a kind of cake made out of flour. For the creamy or milky side of Maldivian sweets try the huni Hakuru Folhi made using grated coconut, flour and sugar. Custard, although not local has also made its way into the cuisines of Maldives. Fruits such as mangoes, papayas, watermelons and bananas also make an integral part of meal ends at the day to day lives in the Maldives.
