    4:10 that is called "pastizz tax-xema" which translates to wax pastizz. Then there is the more traditional variety simply known as "pastizz" or "pastizz tal-isfiljurata" which is made out of a more flaky pastry.

      @@oh0my in most of the local pastizzi shop throughout all of malta which the shops are usually called sphinx (you can find them in Cospicua, Rahal Gdid, Fgura, Has Zabbar, Marsaskala and loads more places) and you will find almost in every locality a place which they sell pastizzi, and also the best pastizi are the traditional one, not the round ones that they tried ... and for the best pastizzi there is a shop in rabat(next to mdina) it's called crystal palace, it is also knows as "tas serkin" if you ask any local they will tell you were it is , maybe they are a bit more expensive 50-60c but im not 100% sure. hope this helps :)

      @@NehajThak It depends what you are after and which area you are staying .. you should try for sure maltese traditional dishes like fenek moqli (fried rabbit) and stuffat tal bebbux (snails in traditional maltese tomatoes sauce) which sounds not apetiting because it has snails in it but its really really good. and there is a restaurant in Mgarr but i forgot there name which serves these maltese dishes and there is another one in Senglea tal Barklor (tried and tested myself) :) and it depends on what you are after, there are some good restaurants in marsaxlokk (fisherman's village) which specializes in fresh fish, and then for me there are some good all around restaurants in Kottonera area (the three Cities) ,mostly Senglea and Birgu waterfront. and don't forget to try the local pastizzi (my fav the ricotta ones :P ) which you can find them almost everywhere, and the best ones are bought from local small pastizerias .

    quick tip from a local :) Country roads like the one you drove through are normally used by farmers to get to/from their fields. There are usually better arterial roads around to get you to your destination, but if you have to drive through a country road make sure to do so very carefully and slowly especially near bends where you can't see what's ahead, as you can easily find someone driving at you in the opposite direction :)

I'm going to get my fatigued tail end up at this hour of 3:30, shower & drive to the 24 hour grocery store...to get some food. You guys did this for me, so "Thank You" ever so much for the "Energy" you sent to me. I soooo appreciate it my friends from afar! I'm a widow...otherwise my Husband would of made sure I/WE had enough food etc to eat. My Loving, High School Sweetheart Husband I married 💍💞 September 2nd, 1973; 🕊 during his time home on leave, from the Navy, during the end of the Vietnam War era...just 2 weeks after I turned 18, before my 12 grade had started...sadly passed away of Colon Cancer on our 39 Wedding Anniversary, 💍💞🕊 Sept 2nd, 2012 [1973]; 🥺😫😭💔💔💔. My WHOLE ENTIRE 🌎WORLD ENDED, AS I ALSO LOST MY BELOVED "MATERNAL" NANA ... 1 MONTH BEFORE MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY...(whom we took care of for 27 years...she was our ROCK...MY INSPRATION...A RARE 💎...LOSING BOTH KILLED ME)...THEN ODDLY 1 MONTH AFTER MY SOULMATE, MY LOVING HUSBAND PASSED AWAY... MY BEST CHURCH FRIEND OF 8 YEARS SHOCKINGLY PASSED AWAY TOO, AFTER A EMERGENCY HEART VALVE SURGERY THAT SHE DIDNT HEAL FROM, DUE TO DIABETIS, JUST IMAGINE...IT WAS A MONTH TO THE DAY AFTER MY HUSBAND PASSED IN 2012. I THOUGHT ID LOSE MY MIND. I WAS SOOOOOO BROKEN. THEN IF THIS WASNT HARD ENOUGH...

THEN NOT MUCH LONGER AFTER THAT; I LOST MY MOM JUST 4 DAYS PRIOR TO MY MOVING IN WITH HER. HER 30 YEAR REMISSION CANCER HAD RETURNED WITH A VENGENCE, & THEY'D GIVEN HER 6 MONTHS TO LIVE, BUT SHE SADLY WENT INTO A JUDT 4 DAYS AFTER THIS NEWS. SHE WAS IN A COMA...12 HOURS AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS MOVING FROM...I WAS SOOOO LUCKY WE'D TALKED AND SAW ONE ANOTHER ON THE COMPURR APP "DUO"; BEFORE SHE WENT INTO THIS WEIRD COMA...MY RUSHING TO GET TO HER, SHE SADLY DIED IN MY ARMS...NOT EVER BEING ABLE TO TALK TO ME...BUT I SOMEHOW KNEW SHE KNEW I WAS THERE WITH HER. JUST SHE & I ALL ALONE...WITH THE ANGELS...& JESUS...MY HOLDING HER SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLE...I WAS LOST & FELT SO ALL ALONE. MY DA7GHTER REFUSED TO HEAR HER GRAMMA WAS DIEING. NOBODY IN OUR FAMILY BELIEVED IT! NOT ONE OF MY 3 SIBLINGS CAME. THIS HURT SOOOOO MUCH. THE LONLINESS WAS TOO MUCH TO BEAR. AS I HELD HER IN MY ARMS, ROCKING HER BACK IN FORTH AT 5:45 a.m....SINGING TO HER A CHILD'S LULLABY, & HER FAVORITE SONG...THE RHEME SONG FROM BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS WITH AIDREY HEPBURN...MUSIC COMPOSER HENRY MANCINI'S "MOON RIVER"...I WOULDNT LET HER GO FOR THE NEXT 4 HOURS...HOSPICE CAME AS DID THE CORONORS & PRYED HER FROM MY ARMS...THE NEGHBOR HEARD MY CRIES...I COULDNT LET HER GO! O PONDERED AS I THOUGHT THIS WAS PROBABLY EXACTLY LIKE SHE WAS HOLDING ME LOVINGLY...AS I "CAME INTO THE 🌎WORLD"; AS AN INFANT...BUT SHE WAS HAPPY, NOT SAD LIKE I WAS SADLY FEELING. NOW I TOO WAS HOLDING ONTO MY SWEET MOMMA...AS I LOVINGLY WAS HOLDING HER...AS SHE "LEFT THIS WORLD"...SOOOO PAINFUL HAVE THESE DAYS BEEN!! WHERE DOES ONE PUT THE PAIN AWAY? IVE NO ONE TO HOLD ME AS I CRY! OUR ONLY CHILD, A DAUGHTER HAD FALLEN APART...SO I COULDNT GRIEVE...I WAS NUMB AFTER HER DAD DIED...SHE NEEDED HER MOMMA, SO I HELD MY PSON...MY BSBY GIRL ALL GRIWN UP...NEEDED HER MOM TO BE STRONG...AS IT WAS WAAAAY TOO HARD ON HER. I TOOK OVER WATCHING MY GRANDBABIES AGES 6; A BOY...WHO WE'D WATCHED SOOO HAPPILY, SOOOOOO LOVINGLY...THE MOST FUN WE'D HAD IN YEARS...M-F FOR 10-12 HOURS A DAY...FOR 6 YEARS UNTIL HE ENTERED KINDERGARTEN...NOW A 1 YEAR OLD GRANDAUGHTER...WHO MY HUSBAND WAS SOOOOO BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD HER AFTER SHE WAS BORN...THANK GOSH I HSD MY SWEET GRSNDBABIES TO MSKE ME SMILE...EVEN IF MY INSIDES WERE CRYING IN SILENCE...THESE PRECIOUS, LOVE BUGS, MY SWEET GRANDBABIES MADE MY BROKEN HEART SMILE HUGE.

IT WAS DURING A "ROUTINE " COLONOSCOPY THAT HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 4 COLON CANCER, WITH A FIST SIZE TUMOR , LODGED WITHIN HIS COLON WALL. A PETSCAN HOURS LATER, AFTER THEY SENT US TO EMERGENCY...SHOWED HE HAD CANCER 4 PLACES IN HIS LIVER, A SPOT IN HIS PANCREAS & A SPOT IN HIS BRAIN. THEY GAVE HIM 30 MONTHS TO LIVE. NOBODY COULD BELIEVE IT! HE'D ONLY BEEN NOT FEELING WELL FOR A WEEK. HECWAS SEVERLY FATIGUED & HE KEPT SAYING HIS HANDS & HIS FEET HURT HIM. UP TO THIS POINT, I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS HOME FOREVER WITH AN INOPERABLE BACK/SPINAL INJURY... FROM A PREVIOUS CAR ACCIDENT WHICH WE WON & SETTLED OUT OF COURT...BUT I COULD NOT HAVE BACK SURGERY...BECAUSE ID OF DIED. IT WAS TOO RISKY & WAAAY TOO COMPLICATED...NINE DIFFRENT DOCTORS ALL SAID THE SAME THING. I JUST LIVED THE BEST I KNEW HOW...IM A TOUGH COOKIE...BUT ALL OF WHAT HAPPENED YEARS LATER...SO MANY I LOVED DIEING...HAS BEEN WAAAAAY TOO MUCH FOR MY HEART TO BEAR...I'M STILL PROCESSING IT ALL. I'M SO BROKEN HEARTED 💔😢😭😭😭💔💔💔.

    It's amazing to see these videos of our tourists enjoying the Maltese islands.. usually we underestimate the place and due to our busy lives, we do not tend to fully enjoy our beautiful hidden gem. Thanks to you, these videos make me enjoy Malta as a foreigner or tourist. Also, you'd need a full month to truly experience the whole island haha, it offers too much!

    This video made my heart happy. I'm Maltese and this just made me happy. I just wanted to mention a few things that you guys could have enjoyed more. The Pastizzi that you ate arent the original. They are similar but the ones that you buy from literally shops in the streets are way much better. Especially the peas one. Also , the pastini. If you guys bought them from a simple grocer , you could have got the maltese traditional ones with sugar paper and peanuts/almonds on top which come with a cherry on top aswell if you prefer that. Also the rabbit with gravy is just one of our favourite dishes EVER. Thats the maltese traditional Rabbit stew that you could have got with potatoes as well. Valletta has great stuff but if i where you , i would have visited some villages aswell because they really hold onto tradition and keep the recipes very old school. The best time you should have come to malta is during the summer so you could experience the village / city feasts. Those are the best thing ever.
