Local market food tour in RAROTONGA, COOK ISLANDS

[@DanFandelli]

I love small local markets in remote islands, eating and enjoying the chill vibe of the local community ♥

[@ChasingaPlate]

So cool isn’t it. We had a really fun morning there. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas

[@AussieAngeS]

I LOVE the Rarotonga series, it's so awesome t watch the beauty of the cook islands, and I also love watching your baby girl in the videos, she's growing up so fast. The baby pancakes looked to die for Thomas and Sheena 😍

[@ChasingaPlate]

So glad you’re enjoying these ones. They were so neat to film. Thanks very much for watching. 1 more to come in the 5 part series. Cheers, Thomas

Yummy food. I have never seen such big tuna! And the baby donuts look like what we call donut holes. My favorite was the pineapple pie.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching mate. It was a cool day. The bbq fish place was so cool and the rest of the food was great. Thanks again. Thomas

[@jomcgee6094]

Now THAT is a market I could get into😊 That tuna!!! Loving this series❤

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks mate! How cool was the bbq tuna place. So neat. Thanks very much for watching. Thomas

[@Teresa-mu4kw]

Yummy Punanga Nui Market food🎉 love the content Thomas and Sheena🎉

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks mate! We loved filming this one. Cheers, Thomas

[@lizavisser6118]

Awesome episode again guys. The baby pancakes look exactly like the Dutch poffertjies. Same pan and they also serve with icing sugar and butter. It's a winter sweet treats they serve at the Dutch markets in the Netherlands. They also serve them with chocolate syrup. You can sometimes get them at Dutch markets in NZ. Cambridge Dutch market has them. Very yum.

[@ChasingaPlate]

So neat. That would be perfect in the middle of winter (there were great in the heat of Rarotonga too!). Thanks so much for watching. Thomas

[@KingRaro682]

You got your poke from the best place.. IYKYK!! They also make a good curry goat rukau and rice. 🙌

[@ChasingaPlate]

So yum! He sold his last rukau to the person in front of us so we missed out by seconds. Good reason to return! Thanks for watching. Thomas

[@Michael_Sheldon]

Loving the relaxed, island vibe in this series. But the food looks fantastic, too! Time to book an island getaway. ❤️🙌❤️

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks mate! It was such a lovely chilled place. We can’t wait to return to eat and film more. As always thanks so much for watching. Thomas.

Thanks so much. We’re so glad you enjoyed the video. We had such a brilliant time eating in Rarotonga. Thanks for watching. Thomas.

[@esar83]

Oh wow! The market has more stores from the last time I was there! I spotted my uncle eating behind you at the maroro store when you popped some maniota on your plate 😂 those baby pancakes look so good! Loving the vids ❤

[@ChasingaPlate]

Haha that’s so cool re seeing your uncle! Neat to hear the market is growing. It was really buzzing. Thanks so much for watching. Thomas

[@MsKestrela]

Glad to see you enjoying the market food! That tuna looked amazing. Seared on the outside, raw on the inside is the perfect way to enjoy tuna. What was the coconut sauce made from? Coconut milk alone, or did it have citrus juice in it?

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was such a fun market to explore MsKestrela! I believe it was just coconut milk alone 🤔 Very tasty no matter what it was 😝 Thanks for watching this one 😄

[@LisaofHopewell]

Ha! American breakfast--pancakes with butter and maple syrup but in the Cook Islands! Cool.

[@ChasingaPlate]

So cool. Loved the mini version. Thanks heaps for watching. Thomas

[@hayleybaker4375]

We just had the Poke and pineapple pie today and they aren't that great, if your easily please you might enjoy them. Muri night market is overpriced for what you get and you can get better deals elsewhere for food/smoothies. The dona kebabs from Falafel Shack are OK but nothing to rave about. The pie from Soul's Cafe is absolutely delicious and well worth the stop. Food at Antipodes is overpriced but the meals are good. Laguna Restaurant has fair pricing and the food is OK. Vili's Bugers are also delicious and we'll definitely go back. We're trying as many cafe/restaurants as we can while in Raro, so hopefully come across more gems. Thanks for the heads up on some of your suggestions.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hope you had a great trip! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena

[@theKukiKuttah]

What were you expecting... Vegas??? It's an island idiot, of course everything will be over priced. The islands aint for you, leave it to those who appreciate and KNOW the island way of living.

[@rob1971]

OMG that pineapple meringue pie looks *so* good! 🤤 I've just finished lunch and this episode is making me hungry all over again 😍 The market looks well worth a visit!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching mate. The market was so fun. Cheers, Thomas

[@mrwakeupjacob4647]

Tuna steaks for breakfast omg with all the training I do I would be a beast

[@Deannaaa86]
