Hedhikaa: Short Eats
Hedhikaa
Hedhikaa is the collective name for the snacks that fill Malé's café counters in the afternoon. Among them are bis keemiya, a crisp pastry filled with tuna, hard-boiled egg, onion and sautéed cabbage; masroshi, a stuffed dough of tuna, coconut and onion; and kulhi boakibaa, a fish cake for special occasions made from smoked tuna, coconut, onion and ground rice.
Halal dining can be arranged at every hotel we recommend; tell us your preferences and we brief the chefs before you arrive.
