Food and more food

A few days before we left Malta, we frantically tried to catch up with Maltese food tasting. We finally realized that we have been missing the best local gastronomy: fried-rabbit. We were very glad to have tried it and to not wonder how it really taste like. Indeed, it was very good!

A few blocks from our flat is, perhaps, the best cafe in Malta. The place, called Busy Bee, is located on the Msida waterfront. We ate in that place almost everyday and spent roughly about $5 per person. The specials change every day so we get a variety of meals to choose from. The place even has a wide selection of gelatos. We would end up eating our gelatos while walking back home!

We got used to having Maltese bread dipped in olive oil and garlic everyday. I have been in so many places around the globe but have not tasted a bread as good as that bread in Malta. It is crunchy on the outside but soft inside. The french bread is the closest comparison but would not taste as good.
