Thank you for this video. I love watching your videos po . I’m a Filipina and currently living in Australia and my boyfriend is Samoan I want to make this recipe that you made looks yummy . I tried the Kapisi and my boyfriend and his mate loved it so wanna make this one soon
Love the background music!!! Thank you for the recipe!!! Raised in CA and never learned but my husband always likes to have his faiae pilikaki!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👋🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇦🇸
It’s sunday today and I’m making faiai mussels and talo kao, But now I’m adding this dish because you have given me the recipe Yaay!! Thank you! Love the video now I’m starving lol
Ooh this looks so good. I have never had it before but now I’ll be able to. I am so happy to have found your TH-cam channel, Veni. Thank you so much for sharing all your amazing recipes
Omg my sister made this for us 2 weeks ago and I only just found out it was from this recipe that my dad (Veni Vlog Fan) showed my sister and asked her to make it👍🏾🙌🏽🤩😋😋 Fakafetai Veni for sharing your taleni with us.
honestly, my fave part about your cooking videos is watching you eat it. YUM! I am not really into tinned mackrel. I see it as something we would have at the marae with a cracker and raw onion lol! this looks interesting though.
Hi Leah, I know I might actually try doing mukbangs of the food i cook now lol thanks for the feedback, yes same im not a fan of the tinned mackeral too but it definitely is nice when cooked this way - so good! you can also cook it in cream too - yum!
Yuum we’re about to make it! Can’t wait 😁 Best part of making this is all the ingredients are cheap and easy to get ahold of in nz! So simple as well. Thank you Veni ☺️
Can you line the dish with a smoke banana leaf to give it a bit more flavor? Also, is it okay to add ginger to the dish in addition to the garlic and onion?
I need about 1kg of just the Mackerel to fill me. While I can eat taro I dont eat plants especially those of the nightshade family (Taro) Chantal Organics Coconut cream is a better product than Kara. It doesnt have the fillers, it has more actual coconut.
Instead of Eleni I used a piece of TUNA (3lbs), and dropped in there some Samoan red peppers as well ... choohoo! An old guy in the village used to say, "ua sikuegi le Aso Sa" . Even Jerome Gray agrees regarding this great Samoan dish! th-cam.com/video/xNhQprRHtGM/w-d-xo.html ... Malo Veni, it was delicious.
Funny thing I never KNEW exactly how to make the FAI’AI elegi until NOW, lol, I made it twice before, but never ever TASTED like the true one, until today, all because I USED the elegi and it’s SUAVAI, NO WONDER it never turned out to be the TRUE fai’ai elegi, lol, sorry, but THANKS to YOU baby for SHOWING n SHARING this with us, I love it but I don’t do it anymore, only it never turned out the way I have TASTES BEFORE, thanks a lot dear!!!🙏🙏👍👍💞❤️💖
Does anybody know what this food is called: thin noodles, fairly clear, has some vegetables chopped up, and that's all I know, it's so good and it's not chinese food btw 😭

Hi Moana, i know its just for flavour but comes out so good!
honestly, my fave part about your cooking videos is watching you eat it. YUM! I am not really into tinned mackrel. I see it as something we would have at the marae with a cracker and raw onion lol! this looks interesting though.

What’s the measurement if I was to use mayo with 4 cans of mackerel?
Yuum we’re about to make it! Can’t wait 😁
Best part of making this is all the ingredients are cheap and easy to get ahold of in nz! So simple as well. Thank you Veni ☺️
Hey... Will be great if you write the ingredients in the description box
How much fresh fish fillets should I use..
Can I make this with bumblebee canned tuna
you sure can! faiai tuna is very nice!
I wish I had known that you use Celsius when baking. I'm in America and we still use Farenheit, so my elegi came out undercooked lol 🤦♂️
Thanx for the heads up lol.. it's 356 degrees for us in the US 👍🏽 Malo
next time I will advise of the american degrees as well when cooking! thanks Bo T and Paapaa Sapolu!
Omg 😍😍 can you please make falai elegi with isalaelu(eggplant) next please? Love your channel! 😍
falai elegi with isalaelu sounds yum! will definitely add this to the list lol thanks Ita!
Spinach is good too
Can you line the dish with a smoke banana leaf to give it a bit more flavor? Also, is it okay to add ginger to the dish in addition to the garlic and onion?
you most definitely can! just make sure you steam the banana leaf so its soft and easy to mould to the baking dish - and of course you can add ginger!
Do you ever add ginger? I'm going to make your recipe today. :D
180 degree?? is that Celsius
I need about 1kg of just the Mackerel to fill me. While I can eat taro I dont eat plants especially those of the nightshade family (Taro)
Chantal Organics Coconut cream is a better product than Kara. It doesnt have the fillers, it has more actual coconut.
O frick I used coconut milk not coconut cream. OH NO 🤦♂️
My mom makes this for my dad sometimes. I'm not a huge fan of mackerel... do you think this would taste good with tinned tuna?
I love faiai tuna! you should also try with best foods mayonnaise. Very nice!
my palagi girlfriend loves this
Instead of Eleni I used a piece of TUNA (3lbs), and dropped in there some Samoan red peppers as well ... choohoo! An old guy in the village used to say, "ua sikuegi le Aso Sa" .

Only fool dislike this video ...awesome stuff Uce
Does anybody know what this food is called: thin noodles, fairly clear, has some vegetables chopped up, and that's all I know, it's so good and it's not chinese food btw 😭
More like a running stomach lol 😂
Seki uce
You dont remove the bones?
Hi Kat! for tinned fish no because they are already softened. When roasted in the oven it will come out soft and edible
Have you never tasted tin fish before 🤦🏼♀️
B R U H 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
You mean, Broil
You mean , faiai pilikaki
Faiai Eleni that's how it's spelling Aea

Awesome videos but please eat with your mouth closed would be top notch🤦♀️
