Upon researching and study on the cost of living in Maldives, we found out that it may be a bit expensive to dine in there. The average food there is around 15usd per meal per person there. Thus we thought of bringing our own can and dried food there.
A week before departure, we agreed to take extra 25kg luggage add-on upon check in per couple just to make sure that we brought enough food (rice, instant noodle, canned mackerel, sambal paste, beef floss, sambal hitam, ready-to-eat Brahims prepacked meals, hard boiled eggs, soy sauce) together with our snorkeling equipment and not to forget rice cooker. Lol.
However, we thought that we may overestimate the need that much of food since during activities, the lunch or the dinner mostly is included. So this is the summary of our meals for each day:

Lunch buffet at Adaaran Vadoo Prestige Resort during aadaran island excursion. They served variety of food selection (there were beef, chicken, fish, soup, macaroni, white rice, fried rice, salads, mix vegetables,mashed potatoes, cake, pudding, and fruit). Most of the food served were delicious except for dessert. I don't really know what they were called but it definitely looks like blueberry cake. It had weird smell, taste and texture, but their caramel pudding is yum!
