So glad you also tried the sapasui (chop suey). My favourite Samoan food. If you get a chance, you need to also try what's known in Fiji as kokoda, raw fish that sort of self cooks in lemon or lime juice, with coconut cream. Other island nations have their own versions too. One of the most amazing and refreshing dishes you'll ever eat.
You must try Pandan Malaysian restaurant in Melling Road Central Lower Hutt. THE must amazing Asian food. Tell them Louis and dianne sent you. Also, if you want a great pizza come to our home town, plimmerton, and pop into The Big Salami. The train trip is well worth it.
Here in Australia, Deception Bay Qld is the best Poly food in Australia. Polynesian Sunrise. I have tried everything and it's so good. Lamb buns and Chop suey are my favourite.
My sister in law is Samoan but never cooked for us a traditional Samoan meal for us. She only eats South African food lol because my brother is from South Africa. So yeah I have no idea what Samoan food taste like. She loves biltong ( dried spice meat) hahahaha.,..next time I visit New Zealand I will give Samoan food a try.
Broooo, I think someone forgot to tell you that taro is the Samoan potatoโฆit accompanies roast beef, or pork, or fish..๐๐๐๐๐..you made me hungry..gonna have to go and find a similar shop ..
This is all making me very homesick. Moved to OZ in 1988. I miss the polynesian culture terribly. I miss the food, the hangi every year. I miss the people. I make raw fish every now and then but the fish here is terribly expensive which is crazy because I live in a seafood industry town. Crayfish etc. Sadly though, I couldn't afford to move back. It is just too expensive there now.
Wow I forgot all about Avalon. Growing up in the 70's most of the television shows etc were made down in Avalon studios. It always came up at the end of a NZ television show, made at Avalon Studios. That takes me back
Talking about a Brit living here in NZ. Just wondering how the difference is between here and there with racism? No one really talks about it. I know racism is quite prevalent in the UK & of course there's some here to but saying that, I don't really notice to much of it here. I'm not dumb, I know it's here but wonder where is it worse?
A tip for next time, try eating the sapasui with the taro together itโs kind of like having rice as a side to stir fry. Itโs one of Polynesiaโs staple side dishes. Itโs a food that would usually accompany a meaty dish. Awesome stuff and keep up the good work ๐๐พ
I lived with a Samoan family for about a year as a teenager, and to this day taro done just like that and chicken chop suey are some of my favourite foods. Taro is divine cold too. I'm in Palmerston North but I think a trip down to Avalon in the very near future is in store…
So weird sitting in the Serbian countryside, making a grocery list for Keke Pua'a ingredients, watching a british guy walk through my hood eating foods I miss like Taro hahaha
Thanks mate, I use to live in Manurewa South Auckland my son moved down to Upper Hutt from North Shore, and with us living in OZ I thought I would miss having Island food unless I drove from the Porirua. This is awesome, and Ialways love watching your podcast.
Whenโs next stream?
Naenae actually use to be quite a troublesome place. Love your vids brother.
