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...

I love the way you showcase the positive things about NZ and the cultures within. You really do do a great thing for NZ and its people. I'm Australian however I am in love with NZ. It is such a fascinating and unique place and I just cannot get enough. I see myself moving there to be honest.

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.

A tip for next time, try eating the sapasui with the taro together it’s kind of like having rice as a side to stir fry. It’s one of Polynesia’s staple side dishes. It’s a food that would usually accompany a meaty dish. Awesome stuff and keep up the good work 👍🏾

I used to go to the Oasis church over in the Naenae shopping centre. There was a quite strong Samoan community within the church so church potlucks were always like this. I wasn't a big fan of the taro and coconut cream but, the panikeke and chop suey was the best

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.

I am pakeha but grew up with my extended Samoan family. The only food I recognised here was the taro. We had it mostly with curried coconut cream. Where is the sapasui, peasupo and palusami? Those donuts look like a very unhealthy addition to the Samoan diet. Tempted by the bao though I've never tried a lamb one. I'm definitely going to divert and check out this place when I next head into Wellington.
