The Village Dessert: Taro With Coconut Milk and Sugar (Vakalolo)🥥🇫🇯

In this vlog we are going out to the farm to plant some Kasa (kava stems). We are also going to harvest Taro from my farm in order to make the village dessert and find some coconuts that is part of the ingredient for the dessert.
The Vakalolo is a fan favourite amongst the villagers but it takes a long process for it to make. First we have to clean the taros, cook it, then peel it and hit it until it gets sticky. We also have to make coconut milk out of the coconuts we gathered from the farm and then mix it with melted sugar which gives the sauce or the dip that we need for the taros in order to be the vakalolo.
There are plenty ways you can make vakalolo and this is one of the ways we do it with taros.
YN Kava
Nothing beats sitting around the Tanoa with your Family and Friends after a hard day’s work and just sharing stories and reminiscing about our Island Life. No matter which Pacific Island you are from, Kava is something that we all share uniquely and that beautiful laughter when we share our island Jokes.
The Village Boys and Men of Moturiki Island Plant, Harvest, Process, Dry, Hand Pound and Package The Yavusa Navuti Kava (YN Kava) right here at our Home in Navuti Village.
So for the best Kava and the best Laughs and your way of helping the Village Men and Boys of Moturiki.
Place your order with us.

Good thing about Uraia is, although he's a city boy, he's willing to try and learn to do things in the village. That's showing motivation. It's an interesting process

[@Samizouza]

He's been doing that ever since "returning" home from Denmark, his struggles are very relatable to any overseas based Islander.

[@MwishaLudack]

@@Samizouza You're right Samizouza, I recently just got to know him. He's doing his best though.

[@rosieisaac7084]

Almost can taste the vakalolo....thanks so much Uraia for this video. I remembered my grandfather making vakalolo on special occasions when I was young. The smell and the taste and all that pounding. I would just go for the syrup more. I remember the ones that's roasted again in balls & then coated with the roasted grated coconut (something like that). Oh yea, my favorite is the breadfruit vakalolo with the white sweet lolo. Oh man! Brings back beautiful memories.. I've been wanting to make it but have no idea how. Love this video so much. Now we will try it and show our kids how to make it. Malo. 💖

[@moemm804]

Bula bothers I love this island desert your process is similar to our Tafolo process made out of breadfruit same process and our Faausi is made out of kalo taro bumkin or casava in Samoa, we bake the mass taro mix with fresh coconut cream ( pe'epe'e ) in the umu in half bread size once it cooks slice them into small squares size like ice cubes then put them aside makesure the separate umu is still burning to heat up the hot rocks and prepare the fresh coconut cream and sugar get some red hot rocks from the umu hold it over the bowl by using tonk made from coconut leave brunch over the bowl of coconut cream and start to drop sugar on the hot rocks to burn the sugar and it will drip into the bowl of coconut cream mix or stair up the coconut cream while the burning sugar is slowly melted into the bowl of coconut stair up the mix until its brown like a caramel flv once the sauce is ready then scoup some taro in a island [plate made out of coconut leaves cover with banana leaves mix that sauce with the kalo oh yummy if you want some more flv you can add lemon leave if you want but its always don't need and it is ready to serve to the oldies first ...🤣🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥.

In Samoa they call that the "Tafolo", they usually use the breadfruit.

[@epelijunior1286]

We also use bread fruit but in a different way. This type is widely used but there are varieties of how we do it in Fiji. This is only one type.

Because individualism is very apparent in said western countries compared to communalism in third world societies.
