Today’s budget will focus on the future of Malta’s children
Oct 11 2021 Share

The day of the Budget 2022 unveiling is here, and Prime Minister Robert Abela is building up anticipation by stating that this will be a realistic budget which focuses on what we want for our children. Tweeting out, Abela said that the theme of the budget will focus on the upcoming generation – what we want their future to look like and how we can arrive there. ‘Our vision [is] to build a more dynamic, sustainable and fairer Malta.’

He revealed that the vision is based on the ‘feedback of an unprecedented consultation process which has revealed what nation we aspire to leave as a legacy to our children.’ Also speaking on a One Radio interview yesterday, Abela emphasised that it will be one of the most consulted budgets of all time. Apart from revealing the budget’s continued focus on the welfare of elderly, opportunity maximisation and more education, the PM criticised the Nationalist Party for its lack of unity. He said that the country cannot trust a party which isn’t united. The budget will be presented today, 11th October, at 18:30.

If you are a lover of Maltese food and haven’t heard of Nenu the Artisan Baker, then do we have the spot for you. Inspired by the legendary craft of Qormi-based baker Carmel Debono, known as Nenu to his family, Nenu the Artisan Baker is a restaurant which celebrates everything that is Maltese.

The restaurant offers an extensive menu of timeless Maltese dishes ranging from Maltese ftira to stuffed squid, traditional Maltese rabbit and so much more. Basically, it’s like a Sunday lunch at Nanna’s… but better (sorry nanna). Local produce and iconic Maltese dishes with not a single foreign ingredient in site; pair that with a tempting twist of ‘Xarbiet Twal’ (long drinks) and you’re in for an unforgettable meal which will leave you wanting more every time.

‘It-Tinsila’

The list of ‘Xarbiet Twal’ includes ‘It-Tinsila’, a mix of Apéritif liqueur & Girgentina Frizzante Brut and ‘It-Tambur’ which is made from a gin liqueuer, ‘Il-Bitter’ liqueur, Red Vermouth and Kinnie, amongst others.

As you can see, the mouth-watering selection of traditional Maltese menu items is bold and plentiful and if like us, you draw a-blank at the sight of the menu, worry not because each and every dish has its own unique and delicious selling point which will definitely reel you in. Our personal favourites have to be the ‘Karmni s-Sultana’ ftira which is Maltese bread dough topped with thin sliced potatoes, roast beef, tomatoes, garlic, fresh parsley and sesame seeds as well as the iconic Imqaret dessert, served with the popular Maltese Ta’ Nenu ice cream.

So whether you’re entertaining foreigners visiting Malta or going for a night out with the squad to celebrate your culture with an unmistakable Maltese feast, Nenu the Artisan Baker is a definite must-visit. To top it all of, with the holiday season coming up, it is the ideal location to organise private functions such as staff parties or birthday celebrations. So great food, gorgeous decor, welcoming atmosphere and Maltese culture, what’s not to like?

…but don’t take our word for it, visit their website and take a look for yourself.

Oct 10 2021 Share

After the Tyson Fury’s intense KO victory against Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas, the Gypsy King has been met with thousands of comments talking about a potential bout between himself and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul.

Paul himself even posted a tweet stating “I think Tyson Fury might have finally earned the chance to fight me”, where he was met with a barrage of comments entertaining the idea.

One user stated that Jake Paul may actually defeat the WBC heavyweight title holder if he maintains a good defence and steady counters, while another commended him for his business bravado while appealing to Paul to watch himself against Fury.

The British fighter made history last night in his showing against Deontay Wilder, with Fury’s co-Promoter Frank Warren calling it ‘the best live heavyweight fight’ he had ever seen.

Would you watch Fury vs. Paul?
