Briyani

Eid Mubarak!

The Mauritian Briyani (Biryani), one of the most favourite dishes of Mauritian cuisine, like the Dholl Puri. Usually cooked in a Deg, it can also be prepared using a rice cooker, as the above the vegetable pulao. Served with salad, satini or pickles. Washed down with Pepsi/Coke or the traditional chilled Alouda. Typical Mauritian.

Le Pouce II

DSCN3285_2

Another trek to Le Pouce Mountain, this time with some fellow tweeps. That was on last Sunday, the 31st July.
It was only 3 weeks before that I had climbed Le Pouce, hence the experience was still fresh in my mind. But this time I was better prepared, so climbing it should be a cinch. I mean, how hard can it be?

Le Pouce

DSCN2349_2
Le Pouce Mountain. At 811m (or 812m), it is the 3rd highest peak in Mauritius. & from what I've heard, one of the easiest to climb. Look at it, it’s just an over-sized hill…

I mean, how hard can it be?
