Samoan food is rich, it can be sweet, it often includes coconuts but it is so delicious.  If you have not tried Samoan food, you are missing out.  While many of these are not traditional Samoan, they were introduced to Samoa and had the Samoan touch added to them, they are still considered Samoan food.  Hopefully, we can do a traditional Samoan food blog in the future.  Today these Samoan foods are what we love and adore and hope that you do too.
  1. Pani Popo

The rich coconut sauce that covers the buns brings the sweet bun to another level.  If you have not tried Pani Popo (coconut buns, then now is the time. They are amazing and once you know how to make them, you will want to eat them every single day!

 

 

 

  1. Faiai Eleni

When I lived in Samoa in High School the house girl would always make the most amazing fai ai eleni in the umu.  Her lamb neck soup was just as amazing.  So essentially fai ai eleni is canned mackerel mixed with coconut and onion and baked.  It is the yummiest when you eat it with taro.  Because so many of us live overseas, it can be a little difficult to have an umu to cook with.  That is why we are so happy that Veni Vlogs gives us the option of cooking it in the oven.

 

 

  1. Faapapa

When the pandemic hit the world we were left without toilet paper, pasta, soap and yeast (just naming a few items).  Making any bread product you will most likely need yeast.  But our Samoan people knew that this was not always necessary.  This coconut bread uses no yeast and is absolutely delicious.  If you are able to get frozen banana leaves to wrap the bread in while baking it will give it an additional flavour boost.

 

  1. Keke Puaa

I love watching Faye cook.  She just makes cooking really fun!  She teaches us how to make Keke Puaa.  This is like an Asian steamed pork bun or a manapua in Hawaii.  The inside, however, is not sweet, it is savoury and salty.  Keke puaa translates to pig cake but it is a steamed bun filled with meat.  If it has chicken or lamb people will still refer to it as keke puaa.

While steam is the most common if you go to the makeki I Samoa (Markets in Samoa) you can also get fried keke puaa.  Sometimes they even add saimini in with the meat. SO YUMMY!

5. Panikeke

Panikeke is a pancake.  It is not like the flat pancakes (panikeke mafolafola) it is a round ball (like a jam donut without the jam).  This confuses me sometimes because when I look at it my mind sees a donut and goes to say donut, but really it is a pancake.

They are delicious and often time’s people use different fruits to add more flavour.  This video adds banana, but other videos use pineapple.  I personally want to make a chocolate panikeke, because I am a chocoholic. Now my brain is thinking Koko Samoa flavoured panikeke.  Can someone please make that for me?

I digress.  Panikeke is like the equivalent of biscuits with a cup of tea.  When you have a cup of koko, it just goes along with a panikeke.  When you sit and have a chat with a friend, “would you like a koko Samoa and a panikeke?”  When you go and visit family you take along some panikeke to go with the tea or koko or coffee.

They may be small but panikeke can start some great and meaningful conversations. They can bring a mourning family together.  Panikeke can instigate a lifetime of memories.  If you have not tried Panikeke you should!

    It’s hurt when husband told you “I don’t need you in my life anymore.” My husband left me for another woman 3 months ago and ever since then my life have been filled with pains sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom i have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spell caster called Priest Salami that he can bring back lovers within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted the great spell caster on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 2 days my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it highly unbelievable. Thank you Priest Salami for bringing back my husband and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spell caster Here his contact. WhatsApp him at: +2348143757229 , Email him at: purenaturalhealer@gmail.com
