Honeymoon, Maldives, Uncategorized, Wedding HONEYMOON IN THE MALDIVES – breakfast of champions 27 August 2009

You wake up, to a gorgeous view, listening to waves lapping away outside, and the air is warm and balmy. So what better way to top it off than having an awesome breakfast on the beach? πŸ˜€ The restaurant offers both ala carte and/or buffet, with both Western and Asian options. It’s just delightful having a lazy meal and taking in the brilliant turquoise waters in front of you. I loved their fresh fruit juices, most of all their custard apple juice – a smooth, creamy and sweet blend.

And so began our day every morning – a massive pig out on 1 a la carte dish each, then hit the buffet for the next course(s).. and washed it all down with a latte (they were experts at making lattes here). What better way to start the day? πŸ™‚


The view in the morning, whilst lying in bed

In our own little breakfast hut. The background looks fake! πŸ˜›

Fresh baked croissants and blueberry muffins

Cilantro and scallion rolled omelette with wild oak smoked salmon, arugula, caper creme fraiche

Seared Maldivian yellow fin tuna cakes on a bed of mango and papaya salsa and cajun roasted potatoes

Assorted stuff from the buffet table. Loved the noodles, and the bircher muesli (in the little bowl)!

Wild-oak smoked salmon with chive cream cheese and arugula on a toasted bagel

Nasi Lemak!

Indian ocean wahoo fillet wrapped in foil and baked with asparagus, tomato, herbs and olive oil

Fried noodles. This was freakin’ amazing!

Maldivian tuna with chilli, lime, coconut and chappati

Roasted potato and parmesan frittata wedge

Lattes, done so perfectly they left us stunned

Buttermilk pancakes with sliced bananas, strawberries, chocolate sauce and maple syrup

Oh nom nom nom…

French toast brioche with maple syrup

Very pleased with all the breakfast grub

Married life is bliss πŸ™‚


PS. I blame these decadent breakfasts for making me gain back all my weight after the wedding πŸ˜‰ I managed to be 45KG on our wedding day – I think from sheer nervousness! But after the honeymoon? Stacked the 1KG I lost riiiiight back on. FAIL.

You didn’t eat all that food in one breakfast sitting right?! Looks so yummy… And I’m amazed you only gained 1kg, I’m sure I would have gained 10 in a week with all that temptation πŸ˜›

Are you going to wear your engagement ring along with your wedding ring, or is it packed away now?

Nah was a few breakfasts πŸ™‚ Each breakfast was a plate of fruit and muesli, and noodles/sausage/tomato/hotfood.. then the main course.. and then a dessert. It was gooooood.

I wear both rings together now πŸ™‚

Hehe the whole honeymoon isn’t blogged properly unless i include food pics πŸ˜› there’s more to come too, bwhahhaha

did you eat all the food in all those food pics every morning? or were the photos taken over a few days at breakfast time?

Everything looks simply fab!

Your photos have so totally sold Maldives to my other half, he reckons we’ll head there for our renewal of vows next year. So a big ‘thank you’ from me!

Wow, it’s mind-boggling for me to know that they serve Nasi Lemak and Fried Noodles in the Maldives. And the food looked absolutely perfect and divine! Not good for those fasting. Hehe. And how is it possible with all that perfect, indulgent food, you only gained 1kg? Mind-boggling! =p

totally! it’s why I was so keen to try it.. and I actually thouoght it was better than some of their western breakfasts – it was done so well πŸ™‚

1KG shows up like hell on me.. mainly on my bum and thunder thighs πŸ™

ME NEITHER! I rarely go to the beach cos i’m just not a happy person there, lol.
but i looooved it so much in the maldives and kept wanting to hop in the water – I think I weirded out Chris with how keen i was πŸ˜›
