While holidaying in Maldives staying in Anantara Kihavah Resort, not only can we find chicken rice in the breakky menu. There’s Char Siew (Sweet BBQ pork), Roast Duck, Roast Pork, Pad Thai, Char Kwai Teow and many more to chose from.
We haven’t being travelling a lot but this is the most extensive breakfast menu we ever came across. After 4 breakkys, I can say I didn’t manage to try every single dish and I looked forward to breakky daily.
I will let the photos to do most of the talking in this post, as I always believe photo says a thousand words.
Our 1st round of breakky on the 2nd day by the beach.
Other than the basic
tea or coffee, there are also 3 different juices to choose: Watermelon, Orange
or Pineapple.
Can’t resist placing this photo. It’s so cute to find a teapot in clothing. Wondering am I able to find it in Melbourne.
This is the roasting section with Poached Chicken, Roast Duck, Roast Chicken, Roast Pork, Char Siew to choose from. It’s served with chicken fragrant rice. Mr. tried it in the 1st morning and felt missing component in the rice. Although a lot of herbs were used, the taste was still far away from the authentic Hainanese Chicken Rice. The chilli was spicy but would be better with a bit more lime and garlic.
The Thai section serving freshly fried Pad Thai and Char Kwai Teow.
We tried both and they were both really delicious. We could taste the wok hei on the Pad Thai and vegetables weren’t over cooked. The stock used in Char Kwai Teow Noodle Soup was full of flavour. Vegetable was quickly stir fried and added into the noodle soup.
In the same area,
which I forgot to take a photo, is also the egg section. Sunny side up,
scramble egg, omelette ect can all be cooked upon order. Baked beans, hash brown, bacon, sausage
can also be found by the side.
This is the Spread section. All types of spread for toast can be found on this table.
3 different types of
bread to chose for toast. This is 1 of the section which I didn’t touch on at
all throughout the whole trip, knowing I can make up for it once I’m back in
Melbourne.
Pancakes and Waffles were freshly made in front of us too. We found the waffle smell really nice but end product wasn’t crispy enough. On our last day, we requested it to be cooked a bit longer. It was heaven with 100% maple syrup and sprinkle with almond flakes. It was crispy on the outside and still fluffy and soft on the inside. I love how deep the square dent was, it’s able to hold on a lot of syrup. Chef made 2 waffles, 1 for Mr. and another for me.
This is the Noodle Soup section, which the menu is change daily. Sadly I can only recall Fish Ball Noodle Soup and Wanton Noodle Soup, don’t remember the other 2 mornings menu.
The Congee
station; same as the Noodle Soup section its change daily as well. Chicken
Congee, Beef Congee, and Lamb Congee etc. Do find it strange to have chilli
flakes as 1 of the condiment. Maybe they can add in spring onion?
This is the Cheese
section. All kinds and types of chesses are available.
There’s also a HUGE
variety of cured meat and fish which some taste too saltish for our liking but
some which we just felt in loved with.
There’s even a Salad
section with fresh mixed vegetable and freshly cut carrot, cucumber, capsicum
and tomatoes etc. Different salad sauces and wide range of olive oil, avocado
oil and balsamic vinegar to finish the DIY morning salad.
There’s also a wide range of nuts and dried fruits as condiment for cereal, porridge and mueslis.
Plain Yogurt, Yogurt with fresh Plums and Yogurt with fresh Passionfruit to chose from.
Of course there’s a
wide selection of Maldives local breakfast/curries.
All the curries are
change daily as well. This is only 1 morning cooked food section.
Seafood Curry 
Biryani Rice
Cauliflower and Potato Masala
Dhal Curry
Maldivian Fish Curry
Our favourite is Tuna and Coconut Sambal eaten with Roti. It’s actually tuna flakes mixed with a bit of coconut, chilli, shallots/onions and lime. It’s a bit spicy and sourish. It’s great with roti/chapatti. We 1st had it while we were still diving on the boat. Being our must have breakky since day 1 in Maldives. I’m going to try recreating this dish when I’m back in Melbourne. Not sure how it will taste if I use canned tuna instead. Got to ask my colleague for help in making fresh roti/chapatti.
Finally, the Fruit section.
Fruit platter was
constantly topped up and freshly cut.
Bet I ate my 1-year
worth of papaya, dragon fruit! I missed this two fruits so much. When I was
craving and couldn’t find any papaya on my last day at the resort. The staff
took the trouble to look in the kitchen, cut it up before bringing half a
papaya to my table. Felt so <3!
