Moreover, they are a perfect destination for food lovers from across the world.

You will enjoy some of the best local meals prepared with local, fresh ingredients!

TAKEAWAY: If you walk by (or are invited to) a local celebration, it’s probable that you witness the preparation of a lovo. A lovo is a cooking technique similar to the Hawaiian Luau, which consists in cooking the meal in a hole dug in the ground. Firstly, hot coals are put in the bottom, and then the desired ingredients are thrown over, wrapped in foil or braided leaves. Finally, all of it is covered with banana leaves. Any marinated meats or vegetables can be cooked this way, or even dessert. Palusami (taro leaves filled with corned beef, onions and coconut cream), a traditional local dish, is very popular in these kinds of celebrations.
