  • This week's video is in Niue and we got invited to an umu, a traditional Niuean feast. Lots of local and fresh food served in an above ground oven typically heated with volcanic or river rocks. The food is wrapped in banana leaves and baked until ready.

    These are the vibes I want for the dinner after my wedding. Not the catering hot plates, but a pig from a family member’s farm with grown and foraged goods that we all cook together!❤

    Thank you for sharing your experience! The food looks soo tastyy! As someone who spends most of my life staying in a metropolitan city, your videos remind me that i am just living in my own small bubble. And how there are warm sense of communities from small towns. It makes me miss the times i used to help my mom cook in my hometown and how i used to fish with my dad before i moved here..
    Really like your videos Taku & Jocelyn, keep up the good work! 😊

    Speaking of bug bites, just a heads up for New Zealand, take any warnings of sandflies seriously, they will 100% ruin any experience when camping.

    🌴 Hey you two , this was fun it was something that none of us get to see , so this was their version of a luau, now I have to admit I was waiting for the guy to open himself up cracking around that coconut with a knife, ( good thing he wasn’t doing that with Japanese steel ) , always great to see what you two have in store for us , opening up coconuts , eating coconut crab , ancestral cooking methods, and meeting new faces from islands far away , have fun,stay safe see ya on the next vid 👊🏼👍✌️

    The food looks amazing! I would love to try any of those dishes...especially the coconut crab! But man, them flies swarming all over the place. That'd ruin my appetite automatically.
    Also, Taku needs to work out during his adventures. That struggle opening the coconut husk was entertaining to watch. lol
