      If you have the chance go to a restaurant in Birgu called 'tal-petut' it is the best restaurant which serves real authentic Maltese food and it is delicious as it serves a bunch of bunch for a fixed price

    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. I'm Maltese by the way and justed happened to stumble upon your channel. Great stuff & keep up the good work.

      @@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 :)

      There are a few annual Maltese events held in east London and Waterlooville, near Portsmouth, where hot Maltese food is served and Maltese produce is sold.
      There is also an annual Malta Day black-tie dinner, held every September.

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.

    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.
