    That is not a fruit. I dnt knw what the English name is but we call it 'PATA APUKA' There is a marble like pip inside of the green layer. When its mature, it turns black and it dries up. We take the pip and scrape it on concrete or sand paper it down. Kids can use it for playing marbles or we use it for costumes for our culture dancing. Can make lei's (ei as we call it) They have so many uses. Some people use it for medicinal purposes and the list goes on.

    My only gripe about my trip is finding local food. Discovered 'Bite Time' by chance after visiting the fish shop in town, I was that frustrated that I was going to make my own raw fish, lol. And then I found minase, poke and other yummy stuff at the super brown shops.

      Whilst the market is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm, Saturday is the main market day with all the stalls, shops and huts occupied with vendors, with the bonus of a live show on stage! The market closes at 2pm on Saturday.

    Raro Fried Chicken is popular only because its where everyone goes too after a night out of clubbing and drinking.
    Next time you go you have to order the Wet Cheese Burger or Palace Burger from Palace Takeaways
    Visit Highland Paradise for cultural experience & traditional island food.
    Waffle Shack is popular located at the Punanga Nui market in town & if you wanna eat like an islander get the Flying fish meal that's right next to Waffle Shack.
    Ariki cafe, Charlies cafe & the Mooring cafe are all top yummy places you MUST visit whilst on holiday
