梅理熊
[Taste] The best Thai food in Male, it is said that the boss is a German, I don't know if it is true or not. The dishes are all delicious, fried rice 👍, probably because the local rice is not oily, the grains are not sticky, especially suitable for fried rice. The grilled skewers are impressive, the colorful dip is not ordinary spicy. The mango juice is especially good. [Environment] It has Thai style, the store is not big, and the second floor is like a mezzanine. [Service] Warm and timely

This restaurant is called Beijing Restaurant. Of course, the dishes are not limited to Beijing cuisine. Other Chinese dishes are also available. It is quite rich and varied. The taste is a little salty, but there is no problem with anything else.

The Manhattan Fish Market is a Cantonese restaurant. Their seafood ingredients are also superb, but my favorite is their roasted pigeon. The meat is so juicy and tender that I ate two in one go.

Taste: I came here because of the good reviews. It's really good. I ordered beef and chicken combo, 154mvr, Coke 30mvr, Lavasa coffee 35mvr. It's more than 100 RMB for two people in Male, which is a high cost-effectiveness. BBQ chicken pizza and beef pizza with beef are really delicious. The thinner ones taste better. They are all freshly baked. They are delicious with chili oil and tomato sauce. "Lavasa coffee" is also available in China, and it costs more than 30 yuan a cup. It's quite cost-effective to drink here. The coffee is very fragrant and tastes good. "Iced Coke" gave a large cup of ice cubes. The price is not expensive in Male. The environment is also good. Many locals come to eat. The service is also very enthusiastic and you can pay by credit card.

It is very convenient to follow the navigation here. You can use US dollars to pay, and the prices are clearly marked on the menu, so you won't be cheated. Many restaurants here don't like to accept US dollars, and even if they do, they will cheat you out of some money. The environment of this restaurant is okay, and the dishes recommended by the waiter cost more than 30 US dollars for two people.

晴川漫行者
I went to the Maldives for vacation, but when I returned, I found that the return flight was after 11 o'clock in the evening, which meant that I had to stay at Male Airport for seven or eight hours. Instead of waiting at the airport, I might as well take a short tour of Male City. I didn't expect that this unexpected trip would add a lot of excitement to my trip to the Maldives. After arriving at Male Airport by seaplane from the hotel, the hotel staff kindly arranged a luggage storage service for me, charging $6 per piece of luggage. In order to better explore the Male City, I also found a local tour guide for me. The tour guide is very good in English. Although you don't have to pay him a fixed fee, according to local customs, you should give him some tips appropriately. Along the way, whether it's taking a taxi or buying water, the guy first helps to pay in local currency, and finally converts it into US dollars to settle with me, which is very convenient. There are two ways to get from the airport to Male City. It only costs $1 per person to take a ferry, and it's about $7 one way if you take a taxi. I chose to take a taxi, and on the way I passed the only bridge in the Maldives, the Maldives-China Friendship Bridge, which made me feel proud. I thought that as the capital of a country, Male would be very big, but when I arrived, I found that it was really small. I followed the tour guide and walked a few steps, and I visited several attractions. The young man patiently introduced the history and characteristics of each place to me along the way, which gave me a deeper understanding of this city. After being tired of walking, the young man took me to a local restaurant, Food Bank. As soon as I entered the door, I found that it was almost full of tourists. The taste of the dishes here is quite satisfactory, and it cost about 75 US dollars for two people. Although there is no particularly amazing taste experience, it is also a unique experience to taste local food in a foreign country. After eating and drinking, I returned to Male Airport. I have to say that there are really not many facilities and places to visit at Male Airport. When I was bored, I decided to write this guide to share with everyone. This trip to the Maldives left a deep impression on me. The beauty here is not only the beautiful island scenery, but also the relaxing and pleasant mood during the vacation. Lying on the beach, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, all the troubles disappear. If you also have a long stopover at Male Airport, you might as well take a few hours to visit the city of Male. Although the time is short, it allows you to experience the charm of the Maldives from another perspective. Of course, don't forget to give the tour guide a proper tip, their service will make your journey smoother and more enjoyable. I hope everyone will have the opportunity to come to the Maldives and experience this beauty in person, and I also look forward to having the opportunity to set foot on this beautiful land again! #Creative Incentive Plan Divide 10,000 Yuan Cash

This restaurant seems to be serving Thai food for a long time. The place is very clean and well equipped with air conditioning. The restaurant also has separate smoking room. I like the hygiene system in their restaurant. The service is great and the Tom Yum soup is great!

This place is just a few minutes walk from the terminal that takes you to the airport. There is a bakery and coffee shop on the ground floor and a lounge area with a sea view on the upper level. The coffee and snacks are very good. I think the prices are a bit expensive though. But it is still a good place for those who need to kill time and catch a flight.
