Simply Blissful Living - Taste of Fiji

Күн бұрын

Vakalolo is a soft and sticky cake/pudding that is steamed in banana leaves. The banana leaves impart a flavor that elevates the dish to another level. This simple, yet tasty, dessert/snack is an islander favorite.

First congrats on the dish. I'm Fijian so my apologies for a little correction - that is called tavioka solo or tavioka yaca or 'vakalavalava' or just tapioca or cassava cake. A variation on that and makes it even delish is mixing in equal parts grated ripe banana. Like amazing !! Another variation is baking the same in a pan ( like a cake ) and when done, cover the top with a thin or thick layer of whipped (stiff ) condensed milk & lemon. ... Now vakalolo means "in coconut cream". It's a desert where the pounded cooked cassava or breadfruit or taro is cut or shaped into bite size pieces and generously coated with coconut cream caramel - which is done by slowly melting brown sugar ( even white ) so it does not burn and once all melted and looking golden brown you add thick coconut cream then cook this for some time til it's reduced to a nice syrupy consistency. Apologies again for the correction.

Absolutely no need to apologize! Thank you for correcting me! I will change the name right away. I’ve had the baked version with a topping and it is Amazing!

My top favorite snack/desert. So delicious and healthy too. Favorite since my childhood in Fiji. I saw the Phillies make it using eggs and boy was I surprised. So I made a batch and let them try, boy oh boy, were they surprised more than me !😱. I love authentic Fiji foods. Vinkavakalevu lewa 💐🙏🏻⚘. Glad I found this channel. May you prosper more !!

I was surprised when I first heard your voice I thought you were Asian(Filo). When you started narrating and using the word 'i', I was shook. No insult Intended 🥰 Your voice just reminded me of my very cute petite Filo friend. Thanks for the upload. Some I purchased in the past at the fiji markets had a brown sauce oozing out around the cassava cake. Is that just more sugar sauce?

@SBLtasteoffiji Жыл бұрын

No insult taken! Although I’m a Pacific Islander, my heritage/background is South Asian (Indian) but I am glad I brought back some loving memories for you! I would guess the one you purchased probably had a caramel filling of sorts. ♥️ much love

Lovely recipe. Some Fijians use some nutmeg too, I guess everyone has their preffered variation of making it. I liked yours, and the caramel color looks so inviting girl. Thanks for sharing.

@SBLtasteoffiji 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t remember if I shared this tip in my video but if you place the leaves on fire just briefly, it makes it more pliable. Any type of heat will help it become easier to work with. I hope this helps :)
