My Visit to Tonga
During my visit to Tonga in 2015 we had a lot of food. The first thing that I ate was called Lu Sipi. Lu Sipi is made out of taro leaves and sipi also known as lamb. It is also mixed with thick coconut cream. Lu sipi is a traditional Tongan dish that is originally passed down from grandmothers, mothers, and to their daughters. It is really creamy, filling and delicious.
Everytime after church all of my family from the different villages in Tonga all come together and we have a big family feed. The big feed that we have is called an umu. An umu is an underground oven where we cook all the meat. Usually after we have a family feed we have some dessert. The dessert that we always have is called faikakai. Faikakai is a very sweet tongan dessert dish that is basically made with flour and water. With the faikakai we cover it with sauce that is made out of caramel and thick coconut cream. It is very delicious.
