What a treat to attend Maldives' largest and most prestigious culinary event! In addition to the trade show component, it drew top chefs from the country's world class resorts for knowledge exchange and competition. Maldives is known for its exclusivity in the resort sector, boasting as high as 8 star accommodation, drawing on the finest talents in the culinary world. Not sure what 8 starts really means because I'll never get near the high end resorts, but I got to witness and sample what one might consume in them!
I was particularly intrigued by some of the elaborate pastry displays and fruit and vegetable carvings.
And something new: I sampled a pomegranate balsamic reduction... wait for it, in Italian soda. It was supposed to be refreshing with antioxidental properties. It was like drinking bubbling salad dressing. So wrong. But when no one was looking I dipped some bread in it and that was not too bad (likely because I've been surviving on rice, papaya and short eats for days now.)
