There’s a Chinese Restaurant in Male! 🍜

Finding Chinese food in the Maldives feels like hunting for a needle in a haystack. There are a few solid spots if you’re set on it, but most are in Hulhumale. If you’re in Male and want a taste of home (no need to go out of your way, though), this place might work. 🚢 Directions: A Quick Turn from the Ferry Terminal It’s easy to find: Take the ferry from the airport terminal (less than $1, ~10 minutes) to Male. Once you exit the ferry terminal, turn left—and there it is, tucked among local eateries. 🍚 The Verdict: Worth a Try, But Don’t Expect Magic Craving something familiar? Their menu has classics like Kung Pao chicken and Yangzhou fried rice, but fair warning: prices are steep. A simple fried rice costs ~60 MVR (~24 RMB), and Kung Pao chicken nears 100 MVR—pricier than Hulhumale’s Chinese spots. The food? Decent. Yangzhou fried rice has distinct grains, scrambled egg bits, and veggies—no weird “local twists,” just straightforward flavor. Yu Xiang shredded pork hits that sweet-sour mark, with crisp bamboo shoots and tender meat. It’s not mind-blowing, but after days of curry and seafood, that “soy sauce + wok” vibe feels like a hug 🥢. 💡 Pro Tip: Pop In If You’re Passing By If you’re coming from the ferry terminal, swing by—nothing beats hot rice and Chinese chatter when you’re homesick. But don’t make a special trip; the prices and flavor don’t justify it. #BeautifulMaldives #travel #ChineseFood #MaleChineseFood #MaldivesEats
