- I spent a day with native Fijians in their village during my vacation in Fiji. Lovely people and great hospitality! Josi my friend a native Fijian cooked homemade Vakalolo, Fijian seafood dish & I cooked fish curry with brinjal in a wood burning stove.

I have tasted timor food.specialy bbq
bringing back some precious memories when I was in Fiji 2003 to 2005 the best food I ate was when I would meet the poor Indians in the slums, or the Fijians villagers they were the most sharing and caring and their food was so delicious. I was there for the LDS church as a missionary. Ika vakalolo my favorite along with Indian Fijian curry and roti of course, Do you have the recipes for the fish curry. Fish curry was delicious with the coconut milk, the best one I ate was when we walked into the slums of raiwaqa a Indian family cooked for us so delicious.
mike mailei this video has the fish curry recipe. Also please watch my channel, “Indian cooking with Suganthi Su” I have more fish curry recipes.
@@IndianCookingwithSuganthiSu also Dal was one of my favorites. I miss it. Do you have Dal recipes to? I'll check your videos out.
Thanks for your wonderful trip to our beautiful Fiji lslands Amazing

Wananavu ni video bula to all Fijians family and friends back home Cheers
Congratulations on your new business. Familiar face..😘
❤love the food 👍
I was in Fiji for 6 years. I like your food especially vundi n coconut milk. My favorite is hot curry the best. I have indians n Fijians friends. I am from American Samoa. I like all things about Fiji except one thing. I think this is a global crisis not only in Fiji this problem is happening. It also happening in other parts of the world. "Break In homes n stealing"
Vinaka thanks for sharing Fiji with the world..awesomely done
My pleasure 😊. Ju Mo thank you.
Bula Aunty your cooking is just like my mom and dads cooking #FijiStyle 🔥🔥🤙🏾 please bring more videos out of yur food. Have a blessed one
Bula Bula! Rich DaKiddVEVO thank you very much. I am glad you liked the videos. Please keep watching!
Vinaka. Enjoyed the video. This is the best and only way to visit Fiji. Thanks
Thank you Rakesh.
Yes. You are right Rakesh. I prefer this than staying in resorts and taking their tours to some ‘set up model’ villages.
@@IndianCookingwithSuganthiSu - Thanks Suganthi. I would love to experience this next time in Fiji. Any suggestions.
@@1126Rakesh when you are ready to go and if you want to go to this village, I can give you the contact information.
@@IndianCookingwithSuganthiSu Thanks that will awesome. I have been living in US for 45 years and year 2000 was the first time I went back since leaving Fiji. Definitely will contact you. Thanks or should I say Vinaka!
L still miss fiji we had live they love my fiji
Their lifestyle is always borrowing stuff from others.....the reason why they are so welcoming is because they will get something back.....tthe woman of the village are very hardworking and man are also but because of their culture they don't think out for the future but they live in the present......
Hello my friend, just wanted to respond to your comments.
First of all they don’t borrow from others. The village is like one big family with different kitchens. Thats how I saw it. They share things among them not borrow. Thats the right word. Secondly they did not expect anything from us. It has been 7 months, we still keep in touch. Jimmy called us yesterday, just to say hello. He again said the friendship we have between us is for ever. whenever I ask if they need anything from USA and all I hear from Jimmy & Josi is, we need nothing and all we need is your friendship’.
They live in the present and enjoy the blessings of today. Any relationship will thrive and flourish, by give & take. There are good and bad people in all the communities. Give respect, love and be kind. If you do that you will have the same experience like I had.
@@IndianCookingwithSuganthiSu well...good luck with your unbiased opinionated comment.....basically tell that to someone who lived there and try to change their mind....tell that.someone who always gets robed of their money at a local store....or gets bitten up...if he speaks....actually fiji has become the little communist country....since they are ruled by China......think again because people of fiji doesn't have any freedom to talk about their governments since govt control all of their news outlets.....everything is controlled by Chinese govt......since they give money to build....hospitals...roads...ports...on and on....even loans to fiji government and when fiji cannot pay their debts or interest....then these Chinese govt will take over fiji.....same thing they did to Tongan and most of the little Pacific Islands......look it up....
Ravinesh Prasad I agree with you 100% about what you wrote about Chinese and Fiji Gov’t’s ignorance of the China’s intention of taking over Fiji in the near future. I have written about this danger and warned in other social media. But who is in the top posts in the Gov’t? There are lot of Indians in power. This is something the citizens and the Gov’t should work together and stop selling Fiji away to China. Criticizing Gov’t is not a positive way of getting things done. Work with your local authorities and go from there to higher ups.
You are a racist Ravinesh Prasad. If you don't like Fiji or the Fijian people then go to India. Your kind don't belong here!!!
Where this place in fiji. May b I will like to visit 😃
Great video!👍👍
Really enjoy watching this ...they wonderful and caring couple 🙂would love to visit one day to eat fish only😊
Thank you Archana. You should visit Fiji.
Hi i from Trinidad and i am an Indian we also do curry
where is this village i like to visit one day i was born near namoli koro in lautoka but i have been in canada for 53 years plse let me know my heart is still fijian
Jas Singh Nakorokula is in Rakiraki Dist, few miles from Volivoli beach Resort. I very well understand your feelings. You will never forget your birthplace.
Really love your videos❤️
Thank you so much Noble Lady!
Awesome video. Vinaka
Feds LOKi Vinaka! Appreciate your support. Please keep watching!
Are u originally not from Fiji cause in your vlogs seems like your just learning about Fijian culture for the first time.
I think the video description might tell you that.
You are right. I am from India and living in California for the last 44 years. My husband is from Nadi and I visited Fiji few times. My Fijian pronunciation may be bit different from Fiji Indians. My apologies. My videos on Fiji islands are as I saw it and experienced it and also from what I heard from locals in the Islands.
The Native Fijians are like the Torres Strait Islanders and the Indo Fijians are like The Australian Aboriginals
Where are you from?
The cooking and foods are very similar to what we have Guyana
Glad to know that Jay. I had a co-worker an Indian named Uma from Guyana. Lost touch with her. She used to tell me that they still prepare Indian food and follow the customs. Wish I could visit Guyana one day. Thank you Jay for the comments. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, we still prepare Indian foods pretty much the same way you. Glad to hear about your co being from Guyana. Our ancestors hails from the same regions in India. Just to let you that there are hundreds of thousands Indian people from Guyana who now lives in America and Canada. We still practice Indian customs very strongly. I have been living in America for the past 30 years.
Very glad to hear from you
The plastic is a form of petrol when it melts it goes back to gas again or oil only to ignite the fire for couple of minutes then it goes away theres no way to bury the plastic at a landfill or rubbish dumb. And if they do they burn it anyway.
You are saying, “when the plastic melts it goes back to gas........”
Do you know what that “gas” consists of?
When you burn Plastic, it produces dangerous chemicals such as hydrochloride acid, sulphuric dioxide, dioxins, furans etc...
These emissions are known to cause respiratory illnesses, affects your immune system and finally it causes cancer. That’s why you can not burn plastic to cook. You inhale all that dangerous “gas” it emits and the gas also dangerous to the environment you are living.
You can not just dump the plastic in the rubbish ( garbage). If you do, it will end up in the waterways and finally, one day will end up on your plate when you eat your fish that munched on plastic particles.
It is hazardous to sea creatures as well. Sea creatures die because of plastic dumped in the garbage. You can not bury plastic. Because “PLASTIC NEVER DECAY”.
The RIGHT way to dispose plastic is to “recycle”. If your town doesn’t have a recycling system. I urge the locals to Talk to their local authorities to help you to recycle.
That “gas” that comes out of burning plastic causes “cancer”, poisons your environment...
Read my reply for a detailed explanation.
@@IndianCookingwithSuganthiSu you are quite correct. Burning plastic is very dangerous to health. Dangerous vapors produced. Adesh Harry P.E. (USA)
adesh harry Thank you .
@@IndianCookingwithSuganthiSu thank u for such a beautiful video. I would love to try ur style of cooking one day.

FIJI NEEDS TO REPENT AND REPENT FAST. WE HAVE BECOME WICKED LIKE THE PEOPLE IN NOAH'S TIME. GOD IS GIVING US TIME TO REPENT.. ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME..
`'Fiji is beautiful Ireland country..it has so many fall and ups in political platform..one time there was large population of were Indian that they brought in for sugar plantation in 1889 and they developed Fiji in all ways but then political turmoil it was very hard time for Indian to stay in Fiji but still there are still 23 % of Indian population..fijian tradition and. culture is always its best,,but the chriitian missionary spoil everything of Fijian original roots..weel today Fijian foods with Indian masalaa taste always best'
