Some bloke under a mango tree: Monkey Bay chips

by muguruki

Malawi chips are possibly the best chips in the world and I’m not the only person to think so.One time while I was at Nkhata Bay a small child came down to the beach with a tray full of food to sell. Quite often this small girl appeared with rather nice carrot cakes to sell but on this occasion the tray was piled high with chip butties. Needless to say they sold well so much so that I sent her back and told her Mama to go and make some more. They were absolute heaven.

Grand Beach resort: Service Above and Beyond

by Bwana_Brown

The resort's restaurant was run on the old British tradition, that is, very orderly. I have never recovered from my shock of laying on the beach in mid-afternoon and having one of the waiters approach us to ask us which type of wine would we prefer for our evening meal! They had to be able to chill it for us! As during our stay in Kenya, there was also an early evening meal put on for the children and then they were ensconced in our room with a provided baby-sitter while we dined at our leisure beginning at 7 PM. The food was good too! A photo of one of the staff members playing with our daughters on the beach. I cannot remember but I know that it was good.

Along The Roadside: Rodent-kebabs & Flying Ants! Yummy...hahah!

by Lady-Charisma

For those craving the taste of something unusual, if you've ever wanted to know what roasted rodents taste like...this is the place to find them! Not that I've tasted them myself, but locals sell them by the highway on a stick, so they look like shishkebabs, only they're rodent-kebabs! Also, during rainy seasons, local folks gather flying ants (yes, they flew! scary thought, huh?) and roast them. Some people who worked for us and lived with us liked to eat these ants (which are pretty HUGE, by the way - looked like bumblebees to me!). I had loads of fun helping them catch the ants. What we did was fill up huge buckets of water and place them underneath our windows outside. We would then turn on the lights and watch the "fun" begin. Now as you may already know, bugs and the like, are attracted to lights at night, so they would fly straight into the window, hit the glass, and fall stunned...

Carolina lakeside restaurant & chalets, Senga Bay: Good food at Lake Malawi

by Christel21

Food is good, value for money and really not that expensive. The restaurant also accepts foreign currencies (Rand and US dollar). The restaurant is situated on the shore of the lake. very comfortable. One can even watch TV inside (like the rugby :) You will definately get fresh fish (lake!)

Tasteful islandfood

by sachara

The boattrip we made to one of the islands of the Lake malawi National Park included a meal too. It was a delicious meal with fresh fish from the barbecue, rice, sauce and salad.After smelling the good aroma's from the barbecue we all became a good appetite.It was delightful to sit at the beach with in the late afternoon sun and have such a great meal.

Robinson Crusoe, barbecue, Lake Malawi

by sachara

We made a boattrip to one of the islands in Lake Malawi organised by the local people, included a nice fish barbecue.Of course with fresh fish from the lake. The preparing of the fish at the open fire smelled very good. It took a lot of time before the meal was ready. So we had enough time to walk around the island, to sit on the beach or to swim.
