I have Fijian neighbours and they would have big parties and I swear you would not even know there was anything going on you couldn't hear a thing besides the occasional infamous island hyena laugh lol. Quiet, humble and reserved people.
I love the Fijian people. I've been to Fiji cos my husband is Fiji Indian n we visited his family in Taveuni island. There was a Fijian lady who came n help me cooking umu in our Samoan way n I'd also cooked palusami in our Samoan way n she loved it. It was a very beautiful place to stay but I was scared of the frogs running around lol. Me n the other Fijian lady went to catch the crabs at night when I was in Taveuni lol. I also have few Fijian friends n they're lovely people.
Home tip: My mum mentioned one time while making rourou that the rourou will taste good the more old it looks.. so even if it starts turning yellowish you still can make use of it. That way the rourou doesnt go to waste until you know its really withered
the change in Lea’s face when she was peeling the cassava to being told that she still has to scrape the coconut 😂 loved this 😍 beats me and my rourou anyday 😂
We cook that too in the Philippines with coconut....but we cook them together with coconut sometimes with chili....that looks good too....I knew someone in Fiji I also thought I would visit there one day....I love them cassava too....thanks for sharing...my first time to watch you here in TH-cam....
I’m a born and raised Fijian myself and I’m married with three kids and I have grandchildren, but it’s embarrassing to say that I haven’t cooked Rourou in my life. That’s why I’m on here looking for how to cook Fiji rourou 😂. I came across your vedio and I will try your version of rourou. I’m proud of you for making an effort into trying Fijian cooking. You’ll be alright girl. ❤ Vinaka for sharing
Bula vinaka Mr and Mrs marika watching your twos video I'm so proud of you that you can cook a pot of rourou for your husband and you thank you for your video keep up the great work specially as you you living in Fijian life
isa you should change the water when boiling the leaves to get rid of the 'itchy throat' or can use young leaves with no red on the stem...please show cooking the stems too, thats yummmm also...vinaka vaka levu
Oofff...peel the casava, cut the casava...imagine doing that everyday!! And here it's head down to the store buy a bag, cook and boom done!! Take my hat off to you sis. Well done!!
As a Samoan, absolutely LOVE the Fijian culture! Humble hearty people! We need more Fijians in the world🤍
Mate Samoans aren't any different. So humble nice and fun loving people. I gotots of samoan mates really helpful.
Can only agree to Fazil - pacific islanders in general are amazing :)
Awww Thank you bro, same for Samoans and Tongans .friendly people
I know what you meant 😏 😌 😉 🙂

Ohhh really good advise. Thank you for that! :)
And that's what we call "Pota"..as in "bota"....
Vinaka Lea, I had to teach my wife how to make rourou as well. It makes us Fijian men proud that you learn our traditional foods....
I feel it's a must we learn some dishes :)
Wow! I love you guys.. Its really awesome to see you cooking Rourou now!
Awesome video!
the change in Lea’s face when she was peeling the cassava to being told that she still has to scrape the coconut 😂 loved this 😍 beats me and my rourou anyday 😂
Haha I was done at that point
Its was dope seeing how invested into the culture she is. She did a good job too

Loved seeing rourou being made! Btw, the dish is rourou but the vegetable (the greens) are called taro leaves.
