On a Ham Run in Malé

It took me a couple of weeks to get good-quality chicken ham in Malé - the delicatessen kind, not the canned kind. (Please remember, there are no pork products available in Malé, in accordance with Islamic law.) The Fantasy store on Fareedhee Magu is the only grocery store I've found so far that stocks chicken ham. There are quite a few varieties available - paprika, moroccan, broccoli, etc.

Rate are on the high side. They vary from MVR 35-55 (approx. USD 2.5-3.5) for 100 grams. You can have it sliced into lovely, thin slices if you like! The store also has a decent (albeit wildly inconsistent) selection of olives and cheese.
