  • This is the final video from our Rarotonga, Cook Island series! The Cook Islands is one of the world's smallest countries. This gem in the South Pacific is popular with Kiwi and Aussie travellers and with good reason- it's tropical, easy to get around and fish is in abundance! We spend 10 days on the island exploring the local food and the best eats to hit up when you visit. From the nation's iconic dish- ika mata (raw fish salad) to real fruit ice creams using local fruit like soursop and passionfruit to the best cafes and cheap eats on the island. Stay tuned for some epic Cook Island food!

    We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our RUclips videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
    We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just honest food that tastes incredible.
    From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best food we find on our travels.

    Those wraps are MASSIVE! One of those would do me for the whole day. The wet burger didn't look all that spectacular, but you wore it well, Sheena. 🤣 This was a great series, and you 3 look like you had plenty of fun and relaxation. Zadie made quite a few fans, it looks like.

    70% of those wraps is 60 cents worth of lettuce. Same thing as most places in the south pacific, including Australia. Not good value for $$

    • @ChasingaPlate
      @ChasingaPlate  17 дней назад +2

      Hi there. Thanks for watching. Couple of issues with your comment that I would like to clear up. One the wrap wasn't 70% lettuce at all. Second lettuce is very expensive in Rarotonga (I think it gets flown in) so even if the wrap was 70% lettuce it sure wouldn't be 60 cents worth. We saw small lettuces at the supermarket for $12-$15 NZD. Thanks again for watching. Thomas
