A Taste of Maldives at ITB Berlin
The bright tropical flavors of Maldives make an appearance at ITB Berlin. Visitors to the beautiful two-story Maldives stand can delight in a taste of Maldives. The flavor profile is fresh and tangy but is balanced with a mild sweetness. Maldivian cuisine emphasizes locally sourced ingredients. Coconut, fish, and starches are prepared in countless ways for breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea time.
Taste a Maldivian breakfast in a bite with the Mas Huni and Roshi Canapé. Mas huni is a savory breakfast dish made of grated coconut, tuna, fresh red onions, lime and chilis. It is served with roshi, a traditional flatbread. For a sweet, milky treat, try a Kashikeyo Kandhi Shot made using screwpine fruit. Many crunchy snacks are on offer, including taro, breadfruit and kanamadhu nuts.
