Gorgeous island place on earth! The fresh fruit and vegetables look so very amazing and delicious, too.

90% of the Maldivian restaurants/ shops & cafe's will have foreigners working as waiters and waitresses they probably won't know how to answer your questions regarding the foods we eat. the guy who helped you in the 2nd restaurant is a local. and the soup you had was 100% local food. we do add more items to it, but basically that's also a way to eat it. Loved your video

Hi.. Davud, nice to see you in very beautiful city male in Maldives. Yes I think, there is a no doubt MALDIVES is a very beautiful and unic landscape in South Asian region and Male also must be a beautiful city. One of the Nice thing is in this video is lots of women in male drive motorcycles for their day to day life. Sunset is GORGEOUS and thank you for sharing it because one of my favourite things in my life is looking sunset. I think you had a nice chat with a cool guy who is with his baby girl. Very relax and nice smile on your face everywhere in this video I think because you had a nice change. See your nice next video, sending love from sri lanka.❤🥰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰

[@ainsharey7396]

That soup is called as Garudhiya in local language, its mainly enjoyed with fried moringa leaves or tuna sambals. You won't be dissapointed😊 Its our finger licking , and obsessed food😊

[@MiMuMo]

The best thing about Garudhiya (foam soup/curry, if you take direct translation)... Is when making it, if you keep boiling it till all the water reduces, you get Rhihaakuru (burnt fish gut paste)...

[@SomeoneYT_1]

Haha im Maldivian but i dont really like garudhiya tbh, i like kudimas more.

[@王嘉尔-v1k]

@@SomeoneYT_1 Your dislike for Garudhiya feels like a betrayal. But at least you are not allergic to fish like my cousin. Imagine being Maldivian and having an allergy to fish. 😭

Brilliant video Davud! Definitely shows how life really is in the Maldives with the locals. People from the outside I guess always see the 'typical' atolls with the branching villa resorts...

[@mariyamanoozarasheed4628]

Just watched your video. Welcome to Maldives. Interesting to see Male' from a foreigners view 😊 We have Maldivian curry as well. Try Maldivian cutlets, bajiya (Maldivian samosa). Maldivian coconut juice (kurumba), Maldivian mangoes taste different as well. For breakfast we have mashuni and kulhimas and roshi (roti).

[@AminathMohamed7]

Hi I'm also from Maldives

[@Ezdan-tales]

Can u tell some food points to try these dishes

[@Esperalzi-Esfaral]

Never been to Maldives. But I can see it is a very CLEAN country, I don's see much litter and garbage in the streets, quite unlike other countries in South Asia. I see that Maldives is a very ORGANIZED and WELL LANDSCAPED country, looking at street scenes in Male. Despite heavy traffic, the layout of the streets and buildings very nice and organized, and buildings are very clean and modern, like a Western city. People seem very nice and friendly. Street foods look very clean, and sellers look clean and well-dressed. Overall, Maldives look like a very prosperous, clean, organized and friendly country. Being a Muslim from Malaysia, I certainly would feel very at home in Maldives..

[@ahmedloothbinmohamed4876]

You should actually go see a local island

[@TheMaldivianTrios]

Hey there, I'm Maldivian. That fish soup you tried is garudhiya, it's commonly eaten with rice and it's made with fish and water

[@scp049leplaguedocter3]

Its disgusting

[@TheMaldivianTrios]

According to Maldivian cuisine, locals eat this in every lunch and dinner. Although I hate that garudhiya as well

Everyone here from Bangladesh are proud that there are many bangladeshi people living there. But remember that is because Maldivians are rich and bangladeshi’s are cheap labor, working there without proper contract or no contract. I think that is very sad.

Hey as a Maldivian watching the roti/chapati you are is called Roshi, and it’s also used like a bread, usually you dip it in with the garudhiya, and then you eat it. It’s really nice to see a foreigner reviewing our country, great video. Wish I met you you were nearby where I live hahaha. Also the papadum is called paaparu locally, just putting it out there for information haha. If you met me I’d have given you rice and Rihaakuru with theluli faih, a very traditional food choice and it’s great you’d have loved it.

@davud akhundzada David, I’ve seen your travel videos. Welcome to my country! Where are you from in Sri Lanka? Which city or town? The Maldives and Sri Lanka are very different, but I really like Sri Lankan wildlife, as well as the hills and views of Ella and Nuwara Eliya, and the welcoming people. Last May, I spent 8 days in Sri Lanka. I traveled to Hambantota, Yala National Park, Bundala National Park, Ridiagama Safari, Ella, Nuwara Eliya, Colombo, and Kandy. Now, I’m planning a second trip to Sri Lanka to visit Ella, Nuwara Eliya, Puttalam, Wilpattu National Park, and some other places. I really enjoyed it. I took many photos in Yala and Bundala and wrote articles about Yala and my Sri Lankan experience. For my next trip, I also want to experience Muslim areas in Sri Lanka, as well as explore more wildlife

That fish soup is actually a fish broth. You add that to rice. Add in things like lemon, vegetables, theluli fai ( fried moringa leaves). It's better to experience garudhiya in a local home because most food cooked in hotels are made by Bangladeshis. So authentic taste is lost. Fried rice and briyani is better in hotels.
