It may appear to be an individual effort, but Ramadan is essentially an occasion which gathers all family members and relatives.</p> <p>During this period, strict observance of fasting is called for. Muslims cannot eat, drink, smoke or even chew gum between dawn and sunset. One of the most important aspects of Ramadan is that Muslims should successfully complete 29-30 days of fasting without consuming any food or drink during the day. It is worth noting a few things about eating habits in Ramadan:</p> <ul> <li>All the foods that Muslims consume are <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-ethnic-cuisine-mauritius.html">Halal</a> (food seen as permissible according to Islamic Law).</li> <li>Traditionally, dates are a common favorite during this month, used to both start and end the day.</li> <li>Breads, soups, fresh fruits and vegetables are also served daily, along with savories such as samosas.</li> </ul> <hr> <h3>Importance of the Month of Ramadan in Islam</h3> <p>Ramadan is a very blessed month and it entails several aspects, which enhances its significance and importance in the lives of Muslims, these include the month being seen as:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Month of fasting</strong> - This particular aspect highlights the fact that Muslims are to observe self-discipline.</li> <li><strong>Month of reciprocity</strong> - Muslims should give alms to underprivileged people to be conscious of the fact that interdependence and unity are primordial.</li> <li><strong>Month of patience</strong> - Those observing the fasts are made aware that they need to be patient in life so as to face difficulties with greater ease.</li> <li><strong>Month of Holy Quran</strong> - One grows more conscious about the holy scriptures of Islam.</li> <li><strong>Month of spiritual development and training</strong> - Muslims become more percipient about the need to dedicate themselves to spirituality.</li> <li><strong>Month of forgiveness</strong> - This aspect actually urges sinners to ask for forgiveness to Allah after having achieved sufficient fasts.</li> </ul> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-566" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/ramadhan-in-mauritius-2-1.jpg" alt="ramadhan-in-mauritius (2)" width="854" height="640" /> <h3>Ramadan in Mauritius</h3> <p>Mauritius, being a multi-racial country, shows slight lenience in an array of ways during this holy month in contrast with traditional Islamic countries. Firstly, Muslims in Mauritius do not give up their daily routine and work despite the apparent hardships caused by the fasting. Restaurants are not closed and people are allowed to eat on the streets. Some restaurants such as <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/restaurant-directory.html">Zub Express</a> in Flic-en-Flac offer free food to all those who are observing fasts in the morning and also in the afternoon when Muslims are breaking their fasts. This certainly gives a glimpse of the interdependence that exists among Muslims in Mauritius.</p> <hr> <h3>Importance of the Month of Ramadan</h3> <p>Eid-Ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and this is a day where Muslims around the world try to show a common goal of unity. Eid is one of the island's national holidays and is declared a holiday after the new moon has been sighted by the Government of Mauritius (consulting with the Jummah Masjid of Port Louis). Just like other Islamic countries, Eid is celebrated across Mauritius, with the preparation of a feast, which typically includes the <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-ethnic-cuisine-mauritius.html">"briyani"</a> (a typical Persian dish much appreciated all around India and oriental countries -made with spices, rice and meat, fish, eggs or vegetables).

If you would like the date to go well, then you better <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/how-to-choose-the-best-restaurant-in-mauritius.html">choose the restaurant</a> with some thought ahead. One bad choice and you can end what might have been the beginning of a wonderful relationship. On the other hand, a really good choice of restaurant can be the first step in your joined romantic future.</p> <p>Many people when choosing a place to go out for a dinner date don’t dedicate to it much attention, believing it is a simple task and of low importance. But sometimes it is difficult to choose a restaurant that suits your preferences and dislikes while also providing the ideal atmosphere for the date. One of the best ways to overcome this problem is simply asking your date where he or she would like to go to eat. This way you can agree on a place you both like beforehand.</p> <p>In case your date partner does not participate in this decision and insists you will choose the restaurant, or in case you want to surprise your date, than you should follow some basic rules that will assist you in the process of choosing the restaurant for your date.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>One bad choice and you can end what might have been the beginning of a wonderful relationship. On the other hand, a really good choice of restaurant can be the first step in your joined romantic future.</em></p> </div> <hr> <h3>What should you look for when choosing the restaurant for your date?</h3> <h4>Cost</h4> <p>Pick a restaurant you can afford – one which you will not have to check the cost of every item on the menu, and will not have to waste mental energy on calculating the meal cost or be stressed about it. Don’t choose a top class fancy restaurant, save those places for special occasions later during the relationship, rather than for the first date. On the other hand, don’t go to a super cheap place like a fast food joint as your date will probably think the worst of you.</p> <h4>A familiar place</h4> <p>Prefer going to a restaurant which you have already visited at least once or twice before. However, don't go to a place where everyone knows you, your date may feel uncomfortable. After the first date, feel free to try a new place . It will give you something to talk about while there.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/restaurant-for-a-first-date-2.jpg" alt="restaurant-for-a-first-date (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-589" /> <h4>Food restrictions</h4> <p>Pick a place where both you and your date will be able to find dishes you like to eat. Make sure to ask your date before the dinner about any special food preferences or dislikes. It will show your date that you are a caring person, and you will have a positive starting point for the date. For example, you should not choose a fish and seafood restaurant, if your date doesn't like fish and seafood. Another example, even worse, is to go to a Grill and Steak house only to find out that your date is a vegetarian.</p> <h4>Volume of music</h4> <p>The restaurant should let you and your date get to know one another. A place with a very high volume of music will eliminate any possibility for conversation. On the contrary, a restaurant offering live piano or live guitar music may be perfect providing good pleasant entertainment and atmosphere.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/restaurant-for-a-first-date-3.jpg" alt="restaurant-for-a-first-date (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-590" /> <h4>Service</h4> <p>You and your date need privacy and quality service; bad service is destructive to romantic atmosphere and can create frustration and bad atmosphere.</p> <h4>Lighting</h4> <p>The best romantic light is a candle light which allows you to see each other, but not to the extent. For romantic atmosphere try to avoid places with very strong lighting.</p> <h4>Theme</h4> <p>Ethnic cuisine and themed restaurants can make for an interesting conversation. Just be sure to check with your date, in case they aren't too fond of a particular type of cuisine.</p> <h4>Location</h4> <p>Pick a restaurant that's easy to locate, since getting lost may lead to some unpleasant tension.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/restaurant-for-a-first-date-4.jpg" alt="restaurant-for-a-first-date (4)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-592" /> <p>And keep in mind that a place to eat isn't just about food - it should also be a place offering a pleasant atmosphere.</p> <p><strong>Enjoy your date and good luck!</strong></p>', 'post_title' => 'Choosing a Restaurant for a First Date', 'post_excerpt' => 'How to choose a restaurant in Mauritius for a date.

When you tend to consume excessive sugar, it may affect your liver, increase uric acid levels, causes metabolic dysfunction and trap you into this vicious cycle of craving and bingeing on sweets. While eating excessive sugar can be dangerous, quitting it completely can be equally harmful; we are not talking about white refined sugar, but natural sugars. Let's find out if quitting sugar completely is a good option.</p> <hr> <h2>What does excessive sugar consumption do to your body?</h2> <p>Refined sugar or the sugar present in processed foods is the worst ingredients in the modern diet.</p> <p><strong>Here's what it may do to your body:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Sugar contains no essential nutrients and is said to be bad for your teeth. Basically, you care adding empty calories.</li> <li>Sugar causes tooth decay by feeding the harmful bacteria in the mouth.</li> <li>Added sugar is high in fructose, which can overload your liver. In some cases, it may cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.</li> <li>Sugar can also cause insulin-resistance, which can further lead to metabolic syndrome and diabetes.</li> <li>Sugar is highly addictive; it may cause massive dopamine release in the brain.</li> <li>Sugar is one of the leading contributors to obesity, both in children and adults.</li> </ul> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option-2.jpg" alt="is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-1068" /> <h3>Is quitting sugar a healthy option?</h3> <p>According to Macrobiotic Coach and Nutritionist Shilpa Arora, "no-one really needs white sugar; it's the most toxic food for the body. Sugar should be consumed in organic natural food items. Nature's sweetness comes with a host of antioxidants and powerful nutrients. Go for seasonal fruits like mangoes, cherries, strawberries, plums, apples and pomegranate. These naturally sweet fruits are anti-inflammatory and do not affect your blood sugar levels; thanks to the presence of fibre and water. Pick dried fruits like raisins, dates and apricots. These are the sugars our body is designed to metabolise unlike synthetic processed sugar."</p> <p>It is best to avoid refined sugar and added sugar. Natural sugars are found in fruits as fructose and in dairy products like milk and cheese as lactose. In fact, natural sugars lactose and fructose have protein and fibre to contribute to the body. These nutrients help stabilise blood sugar levels that prevent you from feeling hungry.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option-3.jpg" alt="is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-1069" /> <p>If you are planning to quit sugar, make sure you give up on refined and added sugar or consume them in moderate quantity. You can load up on natural sugars in the form of fruits and dairy products to ensure a healthy body.</p> <hr /> <p><strong>Author:</strong> Sarika Rana</p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://food.ndtv.com/health/is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option-1857585" target="_blank">NDTV Food</a></p>', 'post_title' => 'Is Quitting Sugar Completely A Healthy Option?', 'post_excerpt' => 'Find out whether quitting sugar is a completely healthy option via Restaurants.mu.

He was convinced that one of the competitors, Shelina Permalloo, born in Southampton of Mauritian Hindu Telugu parentage, would win. He reckoned he had spotted how much the two judges, Australian-born restaurateur John Torode and his Cockney co-presenter, greengrocer Gregg Wallace, appreciate her Mauritian-inspired food as well as her personality.</p> <p>Up until this point, I thought 29-year-old Shelina, a resident of Tooting in south London, had a very good chance of being crowned champion as she had made it through to the final three of more than 20 contestants. But my Mauritian friend convinced me that not only would it be good for Shelina, but it would also be good for the TV series as the former charity worker brought a point of differentiation to the food on display through her creative use of spices. And, as he pointed out, Wallace kept repeating that Shelina “brings sunshine to a plate” Quite an endorsement.</p> <p>And so it came to pass. Yesterday evening, Shelina Permalloo was duly crowned U.K. Masterchef 2012 champion. She very gracefully gave a great deal of credit to her widowed mother, claiming that she was really just her mother’s “sous chef.” Shelina added:</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>I only ate Mauritian food growing up as it gave our family that affinity of being close to the island. Mauritian food is very frugal which is great in these economic climates but at the same time full of flavour, heady with aromatics, nutritional and damn tasty.</em></p> </div> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-711" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-2.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (2)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>What is <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-the-mauritian-local-cuisine.html">Mauritian Food</a>? Anthropologists who have studied Mauritian society know that at least some segments of the cuisine found on the island are good examples of creolization, the“intermingling and mixing of two or several formerly discrete traditions or cultures.”</p> <p>Mauritian food has absorbed influences from the several ethnic groups which make up the Indian Ocean island’s population of 1.3 million - northern Indian (Bihar and Uttar Pradesh), southern Indian (Tamil and Telugu), Gujarati Muslim, Chinese (Cantonese and Hakka speakers originating from the Guangdong region), African Creoles, and Brittany French.</p> <p>Yet, in at least some respects, <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-ethnic-cuisine-mauritius.html">food in Mauritius transcends ethnicity.</a></p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-713" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-3.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (3)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>Fitting into this category are snacks that are typically available at bus stations and beaches including vegetable samosas, dholl puris and gateaux piment. Gateaux piment are deep-fried, marble-sized balls of crushed yellow lentil, spring onions and green chilli. They have a wonderful crunchy texture, and they are eaten by almost everyone. Fish, meat and vegetable curries and delicately spiced stews are cooked in more or less the same way by people from different ethnic groups in Mauritius.</p> <p>These are also the types of food and flavorings prepared in the kitchens of the 47,000 or so Mauritian-born residents of the U.K. for their families and friends, as well as in the handful of cafes and restaurants in areas of London like Finsbury Park, Norbury, Turnpike Lane, and Wood Green where Mauritians have settled. They are the dishes that inspire Shelina Permalloo.</p> <p>Cuisine can be, to use Norwegian social anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s phrase, a “common denominator” in a shared public field, part of the process by which social and cultural identities swing between “homogenisation and ethnic differentiation”. This observation clearly applies to Mauritius, one of the world’s most flexible polyethnic societi<p>es.</p> <p>In the U.K. and other countries where people from Mauritius have settled, they will first and foremost identify themselves as “Mauritian” to outsiders, dropping identification with their specific ethnic group of origin within Mauritius. This change in self-definition of Mauritians in countries of Europe, North America and Australasia is slowly influencing the way cultural identities, including political identities, are perceived and defined in Mauritius itself.</p> <p>Shelina Permalloo, the second woman to win Masterchef, undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of her. She has already stated that she has no ambition to go back to wearing a suit, the symbol of corporate London, and cannot wait to put on chef’s whites in a professional capacity. Like her predecessor Thomasina Miers who won in 2005 and has gone on to establish the successful Mexican-themed restaurant chain Wahaca, Shelina is likely to become a media star.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-715" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-5.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (5)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>But will she be able to follow in Miers’s footsteps and establish a restaurant chain based upon a previously little-known cuisine? Gregg Wallace reckons that she needs the backing of some rich Mauritius business people in order to succeed. The island, which is one of the great economic success stories of sub-Saharan Africa, has a fair share of those.</p> <p>Perhaps they should take the hint: Mauritius’s reputation – its Mauritian-ness – will be enhanced if the national cuisine can make it on to the world stage.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-716" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-6.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (6)" width="854" height="640" /> <p><strong>Author:</strong> Sean Carey</p> <p><strong>Source: </strong> <a href="https://anthropologyworks.com/2012/03/19/mauritian-food-gets-its-first-masterchef-champion-4/" target="_blank">Anthropologyworks</a></p>', 'post_title' => 'Mauritian food gets its first Masterchef champion', 'post_excerpt' => 'Mauritian food gets its first Masterchef champion.

The history of organic food and agriculture can be traced back literally thousands of years.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>It is believed today that bio foods have a higher nutritional value, and are also significantly lower in chemical toxins than other commercially produced food items.</em></p> </div> <h2>What is Bio Products and Bio Food?</h2> <p>Bio, also called organic products refers to chemical free products. This method mainly depends on natural compost, manure from animals or from recycled veggies. In other words the use of fertilizers, insecticides or pesticides is limited in all bio products. Also, all bio products depend mainly on ecosystem, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions.</p> <p>It is believed today that bio foods have a higher nutritional value, and are also significantly lower in chemical toxins than other commercially produced food items. The common view today is that organic food has a much better taste than ‘artificial’ foods. Some will also claim that bio products also have a more natural appearance than the traditional non-bio products.</p> <hr> <h3>Bio Food in Mauritius</h3> <p><strong>In Mauritius</strong> the farmers and planters are gradually starting to produce bio goods. The future of organic food and the future of organic agriculture in Mauritius appears to be rather bright as the demand of bio products increases.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-2-1.jpg" alt="bio-food (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-612" /> <p>Mauritius is a multicultural and multiethnic island. Cultures and traditions from different countries have combined together to form one nation. Ancestors brought to Mauritius their skills and knowhow about farming and agriculture. As a result, sons and grandsons kept the heritage of natural farming from their ancestors - a heritage of not using chemicals in agriculture.</p> <p>In some parts of Mauritius, people have their own kitchen garden where all products are 100% natural, which in other words is called ‘bio’. Others have adopted modern technology in their farms as it was more beneficial for them: it cost less in terms of time, land and spacing and was also easier to protect their crops from insects using today’s technology and pesticides.</p> <p><strong>Some of the very popular Bio products including <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-fruits-and-vegetables-mauritius.html">Fruits and Vegetables</a> found in Mauritius today:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Fruits:</strong> papaya, banana</li> <li><strong>Vegetables:</strong> potato, tomato, lettuces, chili</li> <li><strong>Meat:</strong> beef, poultry, fish</li> </ul> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>In 2018, the Bio Farming Support Scheme with a funding of Rs 5 Million was provided as as subsidy to small farmers in order for them to purchase bio farming products such as fertilisers.</em></p> </div> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-3-1.jpg" alt="bio-food (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-613" /> <h4>Moving into Bio Foods Mauritius:</h4> <p><strong>The Mauritius government’s contribution in Bio farming</strong></p> <p>The Mauritian population is being educated about organic farming practices through seminars organized by the government. Participants include representatives of co-operative societies, individual planters, small farmers, government agricultural authorities and private industries. The aim of such seminars is to inform, train as well as encourage local farmers to invest in bio-agents both from an environmental and economical point of view. </p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-4-1.jpg" alt="bio-food (4)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-614" /> <p>The Ex-Minister of Agro Industry and Fisheries, Dr. Arvin Boolell, pointed out that Mauritius has no choice but to adopt new agricultural practices so as to turn organic farming into a thriving sector of the economy. Students of the University of Mauritius also are working on projects of how to introduce cheap biodiversity to local farmers in order to improve their daily live and for promoting organic agriculture.</p> <p>In 2018, the Bio Farming Support Scheme with a funding of Rs 5 Million was provided as as subsidy to small farmers in order for them to purchase bio farming products such as fertilisers. The objective of this scheme is to convert 50% of crop production to bio products by 2020. </p> ', 'post_title' => 'Bio Food in Mauritius', 'post_excerpt' => 'Learn about Bio products, Bio food and Organic products in Mauritius.

Compared to other products, organic food is not genetically modified, meaning there are no changes from its natural state and therefore no chemicals are ingested into our bodies.</p> <h4>Better Taste and Quality</h4> <p>Bio foods are said to taste better compared to processed food and also have better nutritional value. Most people who have tried them do not return back to eating mass produced, commercial foods again.</p> <h4>Easy to Identify</h4> <p>As time goes by and people become more aware and health conscious, supermarkets are providing special shelves or sections for bio foods only. Stricter packaging and labeling laws make the product distinct, so it is easily identifiable.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-600" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-3.jpg" alt="bio-food (3)" width="854" height="640" /> <h4>Ethical</h4> <p>Organic farming is where no cruelty and injustices are done to animals. Animals are given liberty and are fed with bio foods such as: hay and maize. Thus the meat or poultry obtained is free from toxic chemicals and hormones.</p> <h4>Environmentally friendly</h4> <p>Cultivating organic vegetation also means keeping the balance of the soil. The soil does not absorb chemicals, and accordingly bio-agriculture promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms. In other words bio products are more environmental friendly.</p> <hr> <h3>Disadvantages of Bio Food</h3> <p>Critics say that the main disadvantage of organic food is that it is not as productive as food grown by modern methods. They also claim that bio food does not offer the same visual and taste benefits as of the genetic engineered products, some studies have been carried out, stating that additional nutritional value does not necessarily lead to improved health.</p> <h4>Expensive</h4> <p>Bio food offers lower productivity per acre and are more costly to grow and to produce than non organic foods. These added costs are passed on to the consumer who has to pay higher prices and some people may not be able to afford these products.</p> <h4>Shorter Shelf Life</h4> <p>Bio products do not contain preservatives, which means that foods get spoiled quickly and this is quite a big disadvantage. But on the other hand preservatives are unhealthy, so this can be argued to be a catch 22.</p> <h4>Hard to Find</h4> <p>In our local reality, one additional factor we should take into account is that not every grocery shop provides bio foods. Sometime it is not practical to consume bio products for the simple reason that this requires a lot of travelling and searching for them.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>The popularity of bio products is on the rise and more and more people are changing to using bio products in their restaurants and in their homes.</em></p> </div> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-601" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-4.jpg" alt="bio-food (4)" width="854" height="640" /> <h3>Some thoughts on Bio Food and alternatives</h3> <p>It is accepted by many that it is worth using new technology to create genetically engineered products that are bigger, tastier and resistant to parasites. Some argue why not take advantage of the existing technologies like we do in any other field and use that to modify our food and make it better.</p> <p>The EU forbids the use of genetic technology because it is feared that not much is known on the environmental impact of growing these modified products, especially the impact on surrounding vegetation.</p> <p>As it seems, the future of bio foods globally and in Mauritius is quite bright. The popularity of bio products is on the rise and more and more people are changing to using bio products in their restaurants and in their homes.</p> <p>Needless to say that if one can be sure the food is authentically organic and can also afford to buy it, then bio food is the preferable and recommended food choice.</p>', 'post_title' => 'Are Bio Foods really better?', 'post_excerpt' => 'Think bio food is better for you?

We all know how difficult it is to cook, where overcooked prawns are rubbery and hard. Let the chefs of Brasserie Chic Restaurant take care of it all. They will prepare several recipes for the occasion, including Garlic butter prawns and Peri-Peri prawns, all accompanied with saffron rice or French-fries.</p> <h2>Here are 5 great benefits of eating prawns:</h2> <h4>Good source of protein</h4> <p>Prawns are packed with proteins that are essential to functions such as building of muscle mass, repair of damaged tissues, production of new proteins and energy. Three ounces (85 grams) of shrimp or prawns contain approximately 18 grams of protein.</p> <h4>Packed with vitamins and nutrients</h4> <p>Prawns are a super low-fat source of protein along with nutrients like calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Known to be a great source of vitamin A and E. Prawns are also good source of unsaturated fats, which is said to make up the majority of its fat content.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel-2.jpg" alt="5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3831" /> <h4>Low in Calories</h4> <p>Besides being a good source of protein, prawns are also relatively low in calories; a 3-ounce serving has only 85 calories. Compared to most other meats, prawns rank lower and thus are very good for keeping the calorie count down and maintaining a good weight.</p> <h4>Source of selenium</h4> <p>Selenium is an important antioxidant that is essential for the functioning of the immune system. You can get nearly 50% of the daily value of selenium in only 3 ounces (85 grams). Moreover, the type of selenium found in shellfish is very well absorbed by the human body.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel-3.jpg" alt="5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3832" /> <h4>Fatty Acids</h4> <p>Prawns are sometimes criticized for their high cholesterol content.

And, in devotion to Lord Muruga, it is preceded by ten days of fasting. Meals full of flavours are served on this festive day, including vegetarian briani or the "seven curries" meal. On the day of the festival, devotees usually observe a dry fast, which they break after sunset or after the prayers, with one of the meals mentioned. In addition to the special meal, a special refreshing drink, known as Panakon is also offered. This Indian lemonade also helps with digestion and fights heartburn. <h2>Traditional Thaipoosam Cavadee Meal- Sept Cari</h2> The <strong>7 curries meal (sept cari)</strong> essentially consists of several vegetable dishes served on fresh banana leaves along with hot rice and rasam. The 7 curries as it is in Mauritius, goes beyond the actual meal itself; it is the sum-up of a journey of culinary traditions right from Southern India to a tropical island. The idea of the 7 curries most probably springs from the idea of ‘Arusuvai’ or ‘Six tastes’ blended in seven vegetable preparations. Cultural evolution of Indian migrants in Mauritius may have also influenced the cuisine and practices, where they started being accustomed to local situations. During this cultural evolution, names and ingredients may have changed, though dishes still manage to preserve their origin. <h3>The components of the 7-Curries Meal (Sept Cari) usually include the following:</h3> <p>1. <strong>‘Dal Brinzel’</strong> – Local version of Sambaar with aubergine. (Compared to the Indian Saambar, the Mauritius version is exclusively done with aubergines. The spice mix used also differs from the Indian version)</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Dal-Brinzel.jpg" alt="Dal-Brinzel" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3813" /> <p>2. <strong>‘Pomme De Terre Masala’</strong> – Potatoes cooked in a blend of powdered spices</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Pomme-De-Terre-Masala.jpg" alt="Pomme-De-Terre-Masala" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3806" /> <p>3. <strong>‘Haricots Masala’</strong> – Green beans cooked the same way as the potatoes</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Haricots-Masala.jpg" alt="Haricots-Masala" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3814" /> <p>4. <strong>‘Cari Banane’</strong> – Raw, unripe banana, grated and sautéed with a blend of spices comprised of mustard and turmeric.

The term comes from Tamil ‘Chakkarai’ meaning sugar and Manga from ‘Maampazham’, the Tamil name for Mango</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Sacray-Manga.jpg" alt="Sacray-Manga" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3808" /> <p>9. <strong>Rasam</strong> - The Mauritian term Rasson actually comes from Tamil ‘Rasam’. It is a watery soup prepared with tamarind and several spices. Usually eaten with rice, in Mauritius it is also served as a drink with the meal</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Rasam.jpg" alt="Rasam" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3807" /> <p>10. <strong>Payassam</strong> – Payasson is the local term for ‘Payasam’, a sweet milk based dish sometimes cooked with cereals, pulses or fruits. In Mauritius only the ‘Sago (Tapioca) Payasam’ is prevalent and consequently the dish is often called ‘Sagoo’</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Payassam.jpg" alt="Payassam" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3823" /> <p>11. <strong>Appalam</strong> – ‘Apalam’, a fried cracker often accompanying Indian meals</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Appalam.jpg" alt="Appalam" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3811" /> <p>12. <strong>Vadai</strong> – A fried sweet dumpling made from lentils and banana.

Mornings can be hectic, especially on weekdays when you keep hitting the snooze button and struggle to make it to work on time. This makes it difficult to prepare a healthy and hearty meal. In these cases, your go-to is normally a bowl of bland cereal or more commonly a simple espresso.</p> <p>This is, however, one of the worst ways to start the day. After a long night of rest, your body needs fuel to power through the packed day you have planned ahead at work.</p> <h2 ><span style="font-size: 22px;">To help you start your day off right, here’s a list of 8 quick and healthy breakfast ideas.</span></h2> <h4>1) Tropical Smoothie Bowl</h4> <p>The smoothie bowl is not only fresh and light but also full of flavour and nutrients. Put your favourite fruits in a blender and blitz until smooth and thick before refrigerating for 24 hours. You can add toppings before serving for more flavour and extra nutrients. It works especially well not just for breakfast but can also be eaten as a snack or at any time of the day.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Tropical-Smoothie-Bowl.jpg" alt="Tropical-Smoothie-Bowl" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3647" /> <h4>2) Hash Breakfast</h4> <p>Hash is known for its corned beef iteration, with a couple of fried eggs on top. But it doesn't necessarily need to include corned beef. Leftover cooked lean meat or poultry are perfect to use as a base for hash. Next, you can add potatoes or other vegetables and adjust the seasoning after mixing all the ingredients together.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Hash-Breakfast.jpg" alt="Hash-Breakfast" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3648" /> <h4>3) Smoky Red Pepper Spicy Egg Toast</h4> <p>This is quite a traditional snack in many parts of Italy but it also makes for an excellent start to the day by adding a kick of spice to your mornings. Spread paprika and roasted red pepper hummus onto your egg toast, without forgetting to put grilled tomatoes on top. The most important thing is to season generously. </p> <h4>4) Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins</h4> <p>These delicious muffins are really simple to make and constitute a very healthy and filling breakfast. To make it even better, you can substitute oil with Greek oil to lighten up the muffins and keep them moist as well. </p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Dark-Chocolate-Banana-Muffins.jpg" alt="Dark-Chocolate-Banana-Muffins" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3652" /> <h4>5) Avocado Toast with Egg</h4> <p>This protein-packed breakfast is a classic and very easy to make. Top two lightly toasted slices of whole-grain bread with mashed avocado and season with salt and pepper, before layering on two sunny-side up eggs for a healthy dose of protein. Do not forget a sprinkle of green onions and freshly cracked pepper to top it all off.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Avocado-Toast-with-Egg.jpg" alt="Avocado-Toast-with-Egg" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3649" /> <h4>6) Herb omelette with fried tomatoes</h4> <p>An omelette is one of the ultimate quick breakfasts. However, depending on the filling you can also end up with something really flavoursome and delicious. Break the eggs into a bowl, add a good pinch of sea salt, herbs, freshly ground pepper and mix everything together. Swirl the eggs around for 30 seconds or so in a non-stick frying pan before serving with fried tomatoes.</p> <h4>7) Poached Eggs with Mushrooms and Tomatoes</h4> <p>Sautéed tomatoes and golden-brown mushrooms amp up delicately poached eggs in this comforting breakfast. To help the egg whites set, add a splash of vinegar to the poaching water. To serve, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and fresh chives. It's hearty enough to make for dinner, too.</p> <h4>8) Oats & Fruits</h4> <p>Oatmeal is one of the simplest and most satisfying morning meals. Oats include plenty of vitamins, antioxidants and fibre, hence bringing you an abundance of health benefits. Eaten in the morning, they not only warm you up for the day but also keep you full until lunch time. Top your oatmeal with your favourite fruit to make breakfast even more nutritious and filling.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Oats-Fruits-1.jpg" alt="Oats-&-Fruits" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3651" />', 'post_title' => '8 Healthy Breakfast Ideas to Start the New Year Right!', 'post_excerpt' => 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day yet it is often rushed or skipped altogether.

Here are a list of popular dishes served at family events at the end of the year…</strong></p> <p>Some of the traditional Mauritian recipes for Christmas Eve or New Year are centuries old since they originate from the French era (1720- 1810) and are adapted from existing recipes. The first coloni<p>zers in Mauritius had no access to traditional festive ingredients such as turkeys and potatoes. So, they had to make use of local products, whilst still creating a menu that was worthy of a festive meal.</p> <p>Local ingredients such as the famous river shrimp are traditionally reserved for end of year meals. Other special ingredients for New Year’s Eve include the succulent Heart of Palm, one of the delicacies of Mauritius.</p> <p>Traditionally, New Year meals are eaten with the whole extended family; aunties, uncles, cousins, all gathered around a huge table.</p> <p>Although most of the dishes are of European origin, especially French, they have made use of local products and are essentials for New Year’s Eve.</p> <h4>Aspic</h4> <p>Aspic is a type of savoury jelly based on meat. It is strongly associated with Christmas holidays in Mauritius. It is worth noting that these meat jellies were invented before fruit jellies in France, during the Middle Ages. Besides, from adding flavour to the food, it was also used to keep meat fresh as it keeps out air and bacteria. This old French recipe is rather complicated to prepare and was probably reserved for major events and festivities by the first French settlers of Mauritius. Though it was very popular at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century at social dinners, it gradually disappeared from plates. Traditionally, Mauritian Christmas aspic contains shrimp, but it can be prepared otherwise.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Aspic.jpg" alt="Aspic" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3550" /> <h4>Heart of Palm Salad</h4> <p>The Heart of Palm can possibly be a contender for the first national dish of Mauritius. In the 16th century, the Dutch, being the first settlers of the island, discovered this delicacy from the endemic palm trees of the island. They liked it so much that they harvested it from the palm forests that once covered the island and when the French arrived, about a century later, there was none left. A new species was introduced to the island, because they too appreciated its subtle flavours. Since then, all major sugar estates have palm plantations. Heart of Palm was previously only reserved for estate bosses and directors. The Heart of Palm salad is often served with a vinaigrette and thin slices of smoked marlin. </p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Heart-of-Palm-Salad.jpg" alt="Heart-of-Palm-Salad" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3551" /> <h4>Marlin Mousse</h4> <p>Salmon mousse is traditionally served as an end of year dish in Europe. However, in Mauritius we do not have salmon, so the alternative fish, which we eat during the holiday season, is marlin. This majestic fish is served in several festive dishes as well as served smoked in thin slices. Marlin Mousse is usually an appetiser that can be enjoyed on a piece of toast or crouton, while having a drink before dinner.</p> <h4>Prawns in Red Sauce</h4> <p>Prawns were once plentiful in the rivers of our island. Unfortunately, for them, they were so delicious that they were fished extensively during the Dutch colonisation period. Today the 3 endemic species of the island are no more. During French colonisation, the sugar estates bred an imported species of prawn, the Rosenbergii in basins called “bassins camarons”. Similar to Heart of Palm, these were reserved exclusively for end of year celebrations and for the big bosses. Today you can find them sold almost everywhere, from supermarkets to markets. Other crustaceans are also popular during the holiday period and can be substituted, such as crab, small shrimp and crayfish.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Prawns-in-Red-Sauce.jpg" alt="Prawns-in-Red-Sauce" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3553" /> <h4>Maize Pudding (Poudine Maye)</h4> <p>A creole recipe par excellence, the maize pudding or fondly knows as “Poudine Maye”, is an especially popular dish in Rodrigues during New Year, but it is also consumed in Mauritius. This pudding is said to have English origins, made from corn.

It may appear to be an individual effort, but Ramadan is essentially an occasion which gathers all family members and relatives.</p> <p>During this period, strict observance of fasting is called for. Muslims cannot eat, drink, smoke or even chew gum between dawn and sunset. One of the most important aspects of Ramadan is that Muslims should successfully complete 29-30 days of fasting without consuming any food or drink during the day. It is worth noting a few things about eating habits in Ramadan:</p> <ul> <li>All the foods that Muslims consume are <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-ethnic-cuisine-mauritius.html">Halal</a> (food seen as permissible according to Islamic Law).</li> <li>Traditionally, dates are a common favorite during this month, used to both start and end the day.</li> <li>Breads, soups, fresh fruits and vegetables are also served daily, along with savories such as samosas.</li> </ul> <hr> <h3>Importance of the Month of Ramadan in Islam</h3> <p>Ramadan is a very blessed month and it entails several aspects, which enhances its significance and importance in the lives of Muslims, these include the month being seen as:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Month of fasting</strong> - This particular aspect highlights the fact that Muslims are to observe self-discipline.</li> <li><strong>Month of reciprocity</strong> - Muslims should give alms to underprivileged people to be conscious of the fact that interdependence and unity are primordial.</li> <li><strong>Month of patience</strong> - Those observing the fasts are made aware that they need to be patient in life so as to face difficulties with greater ease.</li> <li><strong>Month of Holy Quran</strong> - One grows more conscious about the holy scriptures of Islam.</li> <li><strong>Month of spiritual development and training</strong> - Muslims become more percipient about the need to dedicate themselves to spirituality.</li> <li><strong>Month of forgiveness</strong> - This aspect actually urges sinners to ask for forgiveness to Allah after having achieved sufficient fasts.</li> </ul> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-566" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/ramadhan-in-mauritius-2-1.jpg" alt="ramadhan-in-mauritius (2)" width="854" height="640" /> <h3>Ramadan in Mauritius</h3> <p>Mauritius, being a multi-racial country, shows slight lenience in an array of ways during this holy month in contrast with traditional Islamic countries. Firstly, Muslims in Mauritius do not give up their daily routine and work despite the apparent hardships caused by the fasting. Restaurants are not closed and people are allowed to eat on the streets. Some restaurants such as <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/restaurant-directory.html">Zub Express</a> in Flic-en-Flac offer free food to all those who are observing fasts in the morning and also in the afternoon when Muslims are breaking their fasts. This certainly gives a glimpse of the interdependence that exists among Muslims in Mauritius.</p> <hr> <h3>Importance of the Month of Ramadan</h3> <p>Eid-Ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and this is a day where Muslims around the world try to show a common goal of unity. Eid is one of the island's national holidays and is declared a holiday after the new moon has been sighted by the Government of Mauritius (consulting with the Jummah Masjid of Port Louis). Just like other Islamic countries, Eid is celebrated across Mauritius, with the preparation of a feast, which typically includes the <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-ethnic-cuisine-mauritius.html">"briyani"</a> (a typical Persian dish much appreciated all around India and oriental countries -made with spices, rice and meat, fish, eggs or vegetables). Men perform the Eid prayer at the local mosques or at the Eidgah (an open-air enclosure for Eid prayers). Cultural shows are usually performed in the days that follow Eid across Mauritius.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-565" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/ramadhan-in-mauritius-3-1.jpg" alt="ramadhan-in-mauritius (3)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>Indeed, Eid-Ul-Fitr is the time for festivity as the literal meaning of the word “Eid” indicates.

If you would like the date to go well, then you better <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/how-to-choose-the-best-restaurant-in-mauritius.html">choose the restaurant</a> with some thought ahead. One bad choice and you can end what might have been the beginning of a wonderful relationship. On the other hand, a really good choice of restaurant can be the first step in your joined romantic future.</p> <p>Many people when choosing a place to go out for a dinner date don’t dedicate to it much attention, believing it is a simple task and of low importance. But sometimes it is difficult to choose a restaurant that suits your preferences and dislikes while also providing the ideal atmosphere for the date. One of the best ways to overcome this problem is simply asking your date where he or she would like to go to eat. This way you can agree on a place you both like beforehand.</p> <p>In case your date partner does not participate in this decision and insists you will choose the restaurant, or in case you want to surprise your date, than you should follow some basic rules that will assist you in the process of choosing the restaurant for your date.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>One bad choice and you can end what might have been the beginning of a wonderful relationship. On the other hand, a really good choice of restaurant can be the first step in your joined romantic future.</em></p> </div> <hr> <h3>What should you look for when choosing the restaurant for your date?</h3> <h4>Cost</h4> <p>Pick a restaurant you can afford – one which you will not have to check the cost of every item on the menu, and will not have to waste mental energy on calculating the meal cost or be stressed about it. Don’t choose a top class fancy restaurant, save those places for special occasions later during the relationship, rather than for the first date. On the other hand, don’t go to a super cheap place like a fast food joint as your date will probably think the worst of you.</p> <h4>A familiar place</h4> <p>Prefer going to a restaurant which you have already visited at least once or twice before. However, don't go to a place where everyone knows you, your date may feel uncomfortable. After the first date, feel free to try a new place . It will give you something to talk about while there.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/restaurant-for-a-first-date-2.jpg" alt="restaurant-for-a-first-date (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-589" /> <h4>Food restrictions</h4> <p>Pick a place where both you and your date will be able to find dishes you like to eat. Make sure to ask your date before the dinner about any special food preferences or dislikes. It will show your date that you are a caring person, and you will have a positive starting point for the date. For example, you should not choose a fish and seafood restaurant, if your date doesn't like fish and seafood. Another example, even worse, is to go to a Grill and Steak house only to find out that your date is a vegetarian.</p> <h4>Volume of music</h4> <p>The restaurant should let you and your date get to know one another. A place with a very high volume of music will eliminate any possibility for conversation. On the contrary, a restaurant offering live piano or live guitar music may be perfect providing good pleasant entertainment and atmosphere.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/restaurant-for-a-first-date-3.jpg" alt="restaurant-for-a-first-date (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-590" /> <h4>Service</h4> <p>You and your date need privacy and quality service; bad service is destructive to romantic atmosphere and can create frustration and bad atmosphere.</p> <h4>Lighting</h4> <p>The best romantic light is a candle light which allows you to see each other, but not to the extent. For romantic atmosphere try to avoid places with very strong lighting.</p> <h4>Theme</h4> <p>Ethnic cuisine and themed restaurants can make for an interesting conversation. Just be sure to check with your date, in case they aren't too fond of a particular type of cuisine.</p> <h4>Location</h4> <p>Pick a restaurant that's easy to locate, since getting lost may lead to some unpleasant tension.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/restaurant-for-a-first-date-4.jpg" alt="restaurant-for-a-first-date (4)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-592" /> <p>And keep in mind that a place to eat isn't just about food - it should also be a place offering a pleasant atmosphere.</p> <p><strong>Enjoy your date and good luck!</strong></p>', 'post_title' => 'Choosing a Restaurant for a First Date', 'post_excerpt' => 'How to choose a restaurant in Mauritius for a date.

In some cases, it may cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.</li> <li>Sugar can also cause insulin-resistance, which can further lead to metabolic syndrome and diabetes.</li> <li>Sugar is highly addictive; it may cause massive dopamine release in the brain.</li> <li>Sugar is one of the leading contributors to obesity, both in children and adults.</li> </ul> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option-2.jpg" alt="is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-1068" /> <h3>Is quitting sugar a healthy option?</h3> <p>According to Macrobiotic Coach and Nutritionist Shilpa Arora, "no-one really needs white sugar; it's the most toxic food for the body. Sugar should be consumed in organic natural food items. Nature's sweetness comes with a host of antioxidants and powerful nutrients. Go for seasonal fruits like mangoes, cherries, strawberries, plums, apples and pomegranate. These naturally sweet fruits are anti-inflammatory and do not affect your blood sugar levels; thanks to the presence of fibre and water. Pick dried fruits like raisins, dates and apricots. These are the sugars our body is designed to metabolise unlike synthetic processed sugar."</p> <p>It is best to avoid refined sugar and added sugar. Natural sugars are found in fruits as fructose and in dairy products like milk and cheese as lactose. In fact, natural sugars lactose and fructose have protein and fibre to contribute to the body. These nutrients help stabilise blood sugar levels that prevent you from feeling hungry.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option-3.jpg" alt="is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-1069" /> <p>If you are planning to quit sugar, make sure you give up on refined and added sugar or consume them in moderate quantity. You can load up on natural sugars in the form of fruits and dairy products to ensure a healthy body.</p> <hr /> <p><strong>Author:</strong> Sarika Rana</p> <p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://food.ndtv.com/health/is-quitting-sugar-completely-a-healthy-option-1857585" target="_blank">NDTV Food</a></p>', 'post_title' => 'Is Quitting Sugar Completely A Healthy Option?', 'post_excerpt' => 'Find out whether quitting sugar is a completely healthy option via Restaurants.mu.

He was convinced that one of the competitors, Shelina Permalloo, born in Southampton of Mauritian Hindu Telugu parentage, would win. He reckoned he had spotted how much the two judges, Australian-born restaurateur John Torode and his Cockney co-presenter, greengrocer Gregg Wallace, appreciate her Mauritian-inspired food as well as her personality.</p> <p>Up until this point, I thought 29-year-old Shelina, a resident of Tooting in south London, had a very good chance of being crowned champion as she had made it through to the final three of more than 20 contestants. But my Mauritian friend convinced me that not only would it be good for Shelina, but it would also be good for the TV series as the former charity worker brought a point of differentiation to the food on display through her creative use of spices. And, as he pointed out, Wallace kept repeating that Shelina “brings sunshine to a plate” Quite an endorsement.</p> <p>And so it came to pass. Yesterday evening, Shelina Permalloo was duly crowned U.K. Masterchef 2012 champion. She very gracefully gave a great deal of credit to her widowed mother, claiming that she was really just her mother’s “sous chef.” Shelina added:</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>I only ate Mauritian food growing up as it gave our family that affinity of being close to the island. Mauritian food is very frugal which is great in these economic climates but at the same time full of flavour, heady with aromatics, nutritional and damn tasty.</em></p> </div> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-711" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-2.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (2)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>What is <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-the-mauritian-local-cuisine.html">Mauritian Food</a>? Anthropologists who have studied Mauritian society know that at least some segments of the cuisine found on the island are good examples of creolization, the“intermingling and mixing of two or several formerly discrete traditions or cultures.”</p> <p>Mauritian food has absorbed influences from the several ethnic groups which make up the Indian Ocean island’s population of 1.3 million - northern Indian (Bihar and Uttar Pradesh), southern Indian (Tamil and Telugu), Gujarati Muslim, Chinese (Cantonese and Hakka speakers originating from the Guangdong region), African Creoles, and Brittany French.</p> <p>Yet, in at least some respects, <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-ethnic-cuisine-mauritius.html">food in Mauritius transcends ethnicity.</a></p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-713" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-3.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (3)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>Fitting into this category are snacks that are typically available at bus stations and beaches including vegetable samosas, dholl puris and gateaux piment. Gateaux piment are deep-fried, marble-sized balls of crushed yellow lentil, spring onions and green chilli. They have a wonderful crunchy texture, and they are eaten by almost everyone. Fish, meat and vegetable curries and delicately spiced stews are cooked in more or less the same way by people from different ethnic groups in Mauritius.</p> <p>These are also the types of food and flavorings prepared in the kitchens of the 47,000 or so Mauritian-born residents of the U.K. for their families and friends, as well as in the handful of cafes and restaurants in areas of London like Finsbury Park, Norbury, Turnpike Lane, and Wood Green where Mauritians have settled. They are the dishes that inspire Shelina Permalloo.</p> <p>Cuisine can be, to use Norwegian social anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s phrase, a “common denominator” in a shared public field, part of the process by which social and cultural identities swing between “homogenisation and ethnic differentiation”. This observation clearly applies to Mauritius, one of the world’s most flexible polyethnic societi<p>es.</p> <p>In the U.K. and other countries where people from Mauritius have settled, they will first and foremost identify themselves as “Mauritian” to outsiders, dropping identification with their specific ethnic group of origin within Mauritius. This change in self-definition of Mauritians in countries of Europe, North America and Australasia is slowly influencing the way cultural identities, including political identities, are perceived and defined in Mauritius itself.</p> <p>Shelina Permalloo, the second woman to win Masterchef, undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of her. She has already stated that she has no ambition to go back to wearing a suit, the symbol of corporate London, and cannot wait to put on chef’s whites in a professional capacity. Like her predecessor Thomasina Miers who won in 2005 and has gone on to establish the successful Mexican-themed restaurant chain Wahaca, Shelina is likely to become a media star.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-715" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-5.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (5)" width="854" height="640" /> <p>But will she be able to follow in Miers’s footsteps and establish a restaurant chain based upon a previously little-known cuisine? Gregg Wallace reckons that she needs the backing of some rich Mauritius business people in order to succeed. The island, which is one of the great economic success stories of sub-Saharan Africa, has a fair share of those.</p> <p>Perhaps they should take the hint: Mauritius’s reputation – its Mauritian-ness – will be enhanced if the national cuisine can make it on to the world stage.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-716" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/mauritius-masterchef-champion-6.jpg" alt="mauritius-masterchef-champion (6)" width="854" height="640" /> <p><strong>Author:</strong> Sean Carey</p> <p><strong>Source: </strong> <a href="https://anthropologyworks.com/2012/03/19/mauritian-food-gets-its-first-masterchef-champion-4/" target="_blank">Anthropologyworks</a></p>', 'post_title' => 'Mauritian food gets its first Masterchef champion', 'post_excerpt' => 'Mauritian food gets its first Masterchef champion.

The history of organic food and agriculture can be traced back literally thousands of years.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>It is believed today that bio foods have a higher nutritional value, and are also significantly lower in chemical toxins than other commercially produced food items.</em></p> </div> <h2>What is Bio Products and Bio Food?</h2> <p>Bio, also called organic products refers to chemical free products. This method mainly depends on natural compost, manure from animals or from recycled veggies. In other words the use of fertilizers, insecticides or pesticides is limited in all bio products. Also, all bio products depend mainly on ecosystem, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions.</p> <p>It is believed today that bio foods have a higher nutritional value, and are also significantly lower in chemical toxins than other commercially produced food items. The common view today is that organic food has a much better taste than ‘artificial’ foods. Some will also claim that bio products also have a more natural appearance than the traditional non-bio products.</p> <hr> <h3>Bio Food in Mauritius</h3> <p><strong>In Mauritius</strong> the farmers and planters are gradually starting to produce bio goods. The future of organic food and the future of organic agriculture in Mauritius appears to be rather bright as the demand of bio products increases.</p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-2-1.jpg" alt="bio-food (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-612" /> <p>Mauritius is a multicultural and multiethnic island. Cultures and traditions from different countries have combined together to form one nation. Ancestors brought to Mauritius their skills and knowhow about farming and agriculture. As a result, sons and grandsons kept the heritage of natural farming from their ancestors - a heritage of not using chemicals in agriculture.</p> <p>In some parts of Mauritius, people have their own kitchen garden where all products are 100% natural, which in other words is called ‘bio’. Others have adopted modern technology in their farms as it was more beneficial for them: it cost less in terms of time, land and spacing and was also easier to protect their crops from insects using today’s technology and pesticides.</p> <p><strong>Some of the very popular Bio products including <a class="a-tag" href="http://restaurants.mu/en/articles/article-fruits-and-vegetables-mauritius.html">Fruits and Vegetables</a> found in Mauritius today:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Fruits:</strong> papaya, banana</li> <li><strong>Vegetables:</strong> potato, tomato, lettuces, chili</li> <li><strong>Meat:</strong> beef, poultry, fish</li> </ul> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>In 2018, the Bio Farming Support Scheme with a funding of Rs 5 Million was provided as as subsidy to small farmers in order for them to purchase bio farming products such as fertilisers.</em></p> </div> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-3-1.jpg" alt="bio-food (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-613" /> <h4>Moving into Bio Foods Mauritius:</h4> <p><strong>The Mauritius government’s contribution in Bio farming</strong></p> <p>The Mauritian population is being educated about organic farming practices through seminars organized by the government. Participants include representatives of co-operative societies, individual planters, small farmers, government agricultural authorities and private industries. The aim of such seminars is to inform, train as well as encourage local farmers to invest in bio-agents both from an environmental and economical point of view. </p> <img src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-4-1.jpg" alt="bio-food (4)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-614" /> <p>The Ex-Minister of Agro Industry and Fisheries, Dr. Arvin Boolell, pointed out that Mauritius has no choice but to adopt new agricultural practices so as to turn organic farming into a thriving sector of the economy. Students of the University of Mauritius also are working on projects of how to introduce cheap biodiversity to local farmers in order to improve their daily live and for promoting organic agriculture.</p> <p>In 2018, the Bio Farming Support Scheme with a funding of Rs 5 Million was provided as as subsidy to small farmers in order for them to purchase bio farming products such as fertilisers. The objective of this scheme is to convert 50% of crop production to bio products by 2020. </p> ', 'post_title' => 'Bio Food in Mauritius', 'post_excerpt' => 'Learn about Bio products, Bio food and Organic products in Mauritius.

Bio food, when grown and dealt with much skill and care, can offer many advantages, with that, bio food also has a few disadvantages. Consumers and producers should know them and take a knowledgeable decision before considering which products to consume.</p> <p>If you are skeptic, or unsure about a product, make sure to ask the suppliers/vendors about its origins, freshness or any other relevant information you may need.</p> <hr> <h3>Advantages of Bio Food</h3> <p>Vitamins, minerals and other supplements are important for the human body and deficiencies of these nutrients can result in serious health problems. Therefore it is recommended that each person should eat at least five fruits and vegetables per day.</p> <p>The problem is that in many cases eating more fruits and vegetables means consuming more acids and toxins in our body. The intake of processed foods with chemicals, pesticides, processed fertilisers only aggravate people’s health. Especially pregnant women are not advised to consume those foods with lots of chemicals as this may affect the baby.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-599" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-2.jpg" alt="bio-food (2)" width="854" height="640" /> <h4>No Chemicals</h4> <p>The biggest advantage of bio products is that it does not contain preservatives, chemical additives and toxins. Compared to other products, organic food is not genetically modified, meaning there are no changes from its natural state and therefore no chemicals are ingested into our bodies.</p> <h4>Better Taste and Quality</h4> <p>Bio foods are said to taste better compared to processed food and also have better nutritional value. Most people who have tried them do not return back to eating mass produced, commercial foods again.</p> <h4>Easy to Identify</h4> <p>As time goes by and people become more aware and health conscious, supermarkets are providing special shelves or sections for bio foods only. Stricter packaging and labeling laws make the product distinct, so it is easily identifiable.</p> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-600" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-3.jpg" alt="bio-food (3)" width="854" height="640" /> <h4>Ethical</h4> <p>Organic farming is where no cruelty and injustices are done to animals. Animals are given liberty and are fed with bio foods such as: hay and maize. Thus the meat or poultry obtained is free from toxic chemicals and hormones.</p> <h4>Environmentally friendly</h4> <p>Cultivating organic vegetation also means keeping the balance of the soil. The soil does not absorb chemicals, and accordingly bio-agriculture promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms. In other words bio products are more environmental friendly.</p> <hr> <h3>Disadvantages of Bio Food</h3> <p>Critics say that the main disadvantage of organic food is that it is not as productive as food grown by modern methods. They also claim that bio food does not offer the same visual and taste benefits as of the genetic engineered products, some studies have been carried out, stating that additional nutritional value does not necessarily lead to improved health.</p> <h4>Expensive</h4> <p>Bio food offers lower productivity per acre and are more costly to grow and to produce than non organic foods. These added costs are passed on to the consumer who has to pay higher prices and some people may not be able to afford these products.</p> <h4>Shorter Shelf Life</h4> <p>Bio products do not contain preservatives, which means that foods get spoiled quickly and this is quite a big disadvantage. But on the other hand preservatives are unhealthy, so this can be argued to be a catch 22.</p> <h4>Hard to Find</h4> <p>In our local reality, one additional factor we should take into account is that not every grocery shop provides bio foods. Sometime it is not practical to consume bio products for the simple reason that this requires a lot of travelling and searching for them.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>The popularity of bio products is on the rise and more and more people are changing to using bio products in their restaurants and in their homes.</em></p> </div> <img class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-601" src="http://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/bio-food-4.jpg" alt="bio-food (4)" width="854" height="640" /> <h3>Some thoughts on Bio Food and alternatives</h3> <p>It is accepted by many that it is worth using new technology to create genetically engineered products that are bigger, tastier and resistant to parasites. Some argue why not take advantage of the existing technologies like we do in any other field and use that to modify our food and make it better.</p> <p>The EU forbids the use of genetic technology because it is feared that not much is known on the environmental impact of growing these modified products, especially the impact on surrounding vegetation.</p> <p>As it seems, the future of bio foods globally and in Mauritius is quite bright. The popularity of bio products is on the rise and more and more people are changing to using bio products in their restaurants and in their homes.</p> <p>Needless to say that if one can be sure the food is authentically organic and can also afford to buy it, then bio food is the preferable and recommended food choice.</p>', 'post_title' => 'Are Bio Foods really better?', 'post_excerpt' => 'Think bio food is better for you?

We all know how difficult it is to cook, where overcooked prawns are rubbery and hard. Let the chefs of Brasserie Chic Restaurant take care of it all. They will prepare several recipes for the occasion, including Garlic butter prawns and Peri-Peri prawns, all accompanied with saffron rice or French-fries.</p> <h2>Here are 5 great benefits of eating prawns:</h2> <h4>Good source of protein</h4> <p>Prawns are packed with proteins that are essential to functions such as building of muscle mass, repair of damaged tissues, production of new proteins and energy. Three ounces (85 grams) of shrimp or prawns contain approximately 18 grams of protein.</p> <h4>Packed with vitamins and nutrients</h4> <p>Prawns are a super low-fat source of protein along with nutrients like calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Known to be a great source of vitamin A and E. Prawns are also good source of unsaturated fats, which is said to make up the majority of its fat content.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel-2.jpg" alt="5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel (2)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3831" /> <h4>Low in Calories</h4> <p>Besides being a good source of protein, prawns are also relatively low in calories; a 3-ounce serving has only 85 calories. Compared to most other meats, prawns rank lower and thus are very good for keeping the calorie count down and maintaining a good weight.</p> <h4>Source of selenium</h4> <p>Selenium is an important antioxidant that is essential for the functioning of the immune system. You can get nearly 50% of the daily value of selenium in only 3 ounces (85 grams). Moreover, the type of selenium found in shellfish is very well absorbed by the human body.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel-3.jpg" alt="5-great-reasons-to-enjoy-the-prawn-festival-at-labourdonnais-waterfront-hotel (3)" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3832" /> <h4>Fatty Acids</h4> <p>Prawns are sometimes criticized for their high cholesterol content. However, just like any other fish, they are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. Prawns are also an excellent source of unsaturated fats that help improve blood cholesterol levels. So enjoy unlimited prawns with friends, colleagues or the family and give a good start to the week-end!</p> ', 'post_title' => '5 Great Reasons To Enjoy The Prawn Festival At Labourdonnais Waterfront Hotel', 'post_excerpt' => 'If you are a seafood lover, then head on over to the Labourdonnais Waterfront Hotel.

And, in devotion to Lord Muruga, it is preceded by ten days of fasting. Meals full of flavours are served on this festive day, including vegetarian briani or the "seven curries" meal. On the day of the festival, devotees usually observe a dry fast, which they break after sunset or after the prayers, with one of the meals mentioned. In addition to the special meal, a special refreshing drink, known as Panakon is also offered. This Indian lemonade also helps with digestion and fights heartburn. <h2>Traditional Thaipoosam Cavadee Meal- Sept Cari</h2> The <strong>7 curries meal (sept cari)</strong> essentially consists of several vegetable dishes served on fresh banana leaves along with hot rice and rasam. The 7 curries as it is in Mauritius, goes beyond the actual meal itself; it is the sum-up of a journey of culinary traditions right from Southern India to a tropical island. The idea of the 7 curries most probably springs from the idea of ‘Arusuvai’ or ‘Six tastes’ blended in seven vegetable preparations. Cultural evolution of Indian migrants in Mauritius may have also influenced the cuisine and practices, where they started being accustomed to local situations. During this cultural evolution, names and ingredients may have changed, though dishes still manage to preserve their origin. <h3>The components of the 7-Curries Meal (Sept Cari) usually include the following:</h3> <p>1. <strong>‘Dal Brinzel’</strong> – Local version of Sambaar with aubergine. (Compared to the Indian Saambar, the Mauritius version is exclusively done with aubergines.

Mornings can be hectic, especially on weekdays when you keep hitting the snooze button and struggle to make it to work on time. This makes it difficult to prepare a healthy and hearty meal. In these cases, your go-to is normally a bowl of bland cereal or more commonly a simple espresso.</p> <p>This is, however, one of the worst ways to start the day. After a long night of rest, your body needs fuel to power through the packed day you have planned ahead at work.</p> <h2 ><span style="font-size: 22px;">To help you start your day off right, here’s a list of 8 quick and healthy breakfast ideas.</span></h2> <h4>1) Tropical Smoothie Bowl</h4> <p>The smoothie bowl is not only fresh and light but also full of flavour and nutrients. Put your favourite fruits in a blender and blitz until smooth and thick before refrigerating for 24 hours. You can add toppings before serving for more flavour and extra nutrients. It works especially well not just for breakfast but can also be eaten as a snack or at any time of the day.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Tropical-Smoothie-Bowl.jpg" alt="Tropical-Smoothie-Bowl" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3647" /> <h4>2) Hash Breakfast</h4> <p>Hash is known for its corned beef iteration, with a couple of fried eggs on top. But it doesn't necessarily need to include corned beef. Leftover cooked lean meat or poultry are perfect to use as a base for hash. Next, you can add potatoes or other vegetables and adjust the seasoning after mixing all the ingredients together.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Hash-Breakfast.jpg" alt="Hash-Breakfast" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3648" /> <h4>3) Smoky Red Pepper Spicy Egg Toast</h4> <p>This is quite a traditional snack in many parts of Italy but it also makes for an excellent start to the day by adding a kick of spice to your mornings. Spread paprika and roasted red pepper hummus onto your egg toast, without forgetting to put grilled tomatoes on top. The most important thing is to season generously. </p> <h4>4) Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins</h4> <p>These delicious muffins are really simple to make and constitute a very healthy and filling breakfast. To make it even better, you can substitute oil with Greek oil to lighten up the muffins and keep them moist as well. </p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Dark-Chocolate-Banana-Muffins.jpg" alt="Dark-Chocolate-Banana-Muffins" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3652" /> <h4>5) Avocado Toast with Egg</h4> <p>This protein-packed breakfast is a classic and very easy to make. Top two lightly toasted slices of whole-grain bread with mashed avocado and season with salt and pepper, before layering on two sunny-side up eggs for a healthy dose of protein. Do not forget a sprinkle of green onions and freshly cracked pepper to top it all off.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Avocado-Toast-with-Egg.jpg" alt="Avocado-Toast-with-Egg" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3649" /> <h4>6) Herb omelette with fried tomatoes</h4> <p>An omelette is one of the ultimate quick breakfasts. However, depending on the filling you can also end up with something really flavoursome and delicious. Break the eggs into a bowl, add a good pinch of sea salt, herbs, freshly ground pepper and mix everything together. Swirl the eggs around for 30 seconds or so in a non-stick frying pan before serving with fried tomatoes.</p> <h4>7) Poached Eggs with Mushrooms and Tomatoes</h4> <p>Sautéed tomatoes and golden-brown mushrooms amp up delicately poached eggs in this comforting breakfast. To help the egg whites set, add a splash of vinegar to the poaching water. To serve, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and fresh chives. It's hearty enough to make for dinner, too.</p> <h4>8) Oats & Fruits</h4> <p>Oatmeal is one of the simplest and most satisfying morning meals. Oats include plenty of vitamins, antioxidants and fibre, hence bringing you an abundance of health benefits. Eaten in the morning, they not only warm you up for the day but also keep you full until lunch time. Top your oatmeal with your favourite fruit to make breakfast even more nutritious and filling.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Oats-Fruits-1.jpg" alt="Oats-&-Fruits" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3651" />', 'post_title' => '8 Healthy Breakfast Ideas to Start the New Year Right!', 'post_excerpt' => 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day yet it is often rushed or skipped altogether.

Here are a list of popular dishes served at family events at the end of the year…</strong></p> <p>Some of the traditional Mauritian recipes for Christmas Eve or New Year are centuries old since they originate from the French era (1720- 1810) and are adapted from existing recipes. The first coloni<p>zers in Mauritius had no access to traditional festive ingredients such as turkeys and potatoes. So, they had to make use of local products, whilst still creating a menu that was worthy of a festive meal.</p> <p>Local ingredients such as the famous river shrimp are traditionally reserved for end of year meals. Other special ingredients for New Year’s Eve include the succulent Heart of Palm, one of the delicacies of Mauritius.</p> <p>Traditionally, New Year meals are eaten with the whole extended family; aunties, uncles, cousins, all gathered around a huge table.</p> <p>Although most of the dishes are of European origin, especially French, they have made use of local products and are essentials for New Year’s Eve.</p> <h4>Aspic</h4> <p>Aspic is a type of savoury jelly based on meat. It is strongly associated with Christmas holidays in Mauritius. It is worth noting that these meat jellies were invented before fruit jellies in France, during the Middle Ages. Besides, from adding flavour to the food, it was also used to keep meat fresh as it keeps out air and bacteria. This old French recipe is rather complicated to prepare and was probably reserved for major events and festivities by the first French settlers of Mauritius. Though it was very popular at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century at social dinners, it gradually disappeared from plates. Traditionally, Mauritian Christmas aspic contains shrimp, but it can be prepared otherwise.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Aspic.jpg" alt="Aspic" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3550" /> <h4>Heart of Palm Salad</h4> <p>The Heart of Palm can possibly be a contender for the first national dish of Mauritius. In the 16th century, the Dutch, being the first settlers of the island, discovered this delicacy from the endemic palm trees of the island. They liked it so much that they harvested it from the palm forests that once covered the island and when the French arrived, about a century later, there was none left. A new species was introduced to the island, because they too appreciated its subtle flavours. Since then, all major sugar estates have palm plantations. Heart of Palm was previously only reserved for estate bosses and directors. The Heart of Palm salad is often served with a vinaigrette and thin slices of smoked marlin. </p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Heart-of-Palm-Salad.jpg" alt="Heart-of-Palm-Salad" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3551" /> <h4>Marlin Mousse</h4> <p>Salmon mousse is traditionally served as an end of year dish in Europe. However, in Mauritius we do not have salmon, so the alternative fish, which we eat during the holiday season, is marlin. This majestic fish is served in several festive dishes as well as served smoked in thin slices. Marlin Mousse is usually an appetiser that can be enjoyed on a piece of toast or crouton, while having a drink before dinner.</p> <h4>Prawns in Red Sauce</h4> <p>Prawns were once plentiful in the rivers of our island. Unfortunately, for them, they were so delicious that they were fished extensively during the Dutch colonisation period. Today the 3 endemic species of the island are no more. During French colonisation, the sugar estates bred an imported species of prawn, the Rosenbergii in basins called “bassins camarons”. Similar to Heart of Palm, these were reserved exclusively for end of year celebrations and for the big bosses. Today you can find them sold almost everywhere, from supermarkets to markets. Other crustaceans are also popular during the holiday period and can be substituted, such as crab, small shrimp and crayfish.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Prawns-in-Red-Sauce.jpg" alt="Prawns-in-Red-Sauce" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3553" /> <h4>Maize Pudding (Poudine Maye)</h4> <p>A creole recipe par excellence, the maize pudding or fondly knows as “Poudine Maye”, is an especially popular dish in Rodrigues during New Year, but it is also consumed in Mauritius. This pudding is said to have English origins, made from corn. It can be consumed between meals or at the end of a meal as a dessert.</p> <img src="https://restaurants.mu/blog-admin/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/maize-pudding.jpg" alt="maize-pudding" width="854" height="640" class="img-fluid alignnone size-full wp-image-3552" /> <hr> <p><em>Adapted from CÔTE NORD MAG</em></p> <p><strong>Source: </strong><a href="https://www.travel-iles.com/en/travel-iles-by-cote-nord/saveurs-creoles-banquet-de-reveillon-mauricien"><span>https://www.travel-iles.com/en/travel-iles-by-cote-nord/saveurs-creoles-banquet-de-reveillon-mauricien</a></span></p> ', 'post_title' => 'Creole Flavours: The Mauritian New Year Banquet', 'post_excerpt' => 'Celebrating Christmas or New Year in Mauritius is not only about a family gathering but also about the food.
