Must-Try Food Spots in Apia | Authentic Samoan Cultural Village

Where is the best burger joint in Apia, Samoa? Phat Burger was fantastic. It has a great vibe and it tastes great as well.
We loved visiting the Samoan Cultural Village in downtown Apia. The Samoan Tourism Authority does a great job of giving you a taste and feel of true Samoan culture. We experienced a Samoan Ava ceremony; saw the traditional woodcarvers making beautiful bowls, turtles, and hooks; and witnessed someone painfully getting a traditional Pe'a body tattoo. The live music and dancing were really well done.
We especially loved the Samoan Umu cooking of taro root, breadfruit, Palusami fish, and bananas. It was cool to see how they built the fire, cooked the food, and even cracked and opened a coconut to make fresh coconut milk.

i would love to see the kids go back to Samoa and be at home

[@roxxanefox4771]

Hello, may God Bless and Protect you and Your family.

[@cattomonsuta]

Watching you guys in Samoa, I also feel right at home; the highways look a lot like the Philippine countryside, and how they extract coconut milk is not too far from how we do it here. Your lunch there felt different and familiar at the same time. It's amazing! And plumerias are my favorite flower, too!

[@OurBackmanFamily]

I love all the connections you have made.

[@koketaupau6719]

Your little girl looks so cute with her flower❤

[@Amore2112]

That’s my cousins husband with the traditional tatau teaching you about food and prepping of the umu. I love your Samoa vlogs. They’re so beautiful. And it’s wonderful seeing you and your beautiful family enjoying Samoa and your willingness to learn our culture and language. Watching your vlogs makes me overly homesick and I’ve only just gotten back to Australia from Samoa 😂 Thank you for loving my Samoa and my Samoa loves you and your family.

[@OurBackmanFamily]

Thank you so much for your kind words. We really do love Samoa. That’s so cool your cousin was the one teaching us. He was good at teaching and was so funny!

When it comes to eating palusami or anything that may taste bland just sprinkle a bit of salt that always does the trick :)
