Bula! Fiji awaits you!
Fiji beckons you to chase the sun. Though the palm trees, reefs, and golden sands are a must, it’s Fiji’s food that is making waves. Avenues finds out what’s hot to add to your holiday menu while you’re on the island paradise.
FIJI MARRIOTT RESORT MOMI BAY FISH BAR – SALT MENU
How’s this for thinking outside the box? Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay Fish Bar has flipped the conventional on its head by, instead of pairing wine with food, teaming up with South Seas Salt to pair food with different flavoured salts. The sustainable, sun-dried sea salts – wild hibiscus sea salt, luxe sea salt, lime sea salt, chilli sea salt, and coconut sea salt are paired with dishes from tuna tartare to whiskey & chocolate cremeux.
NANUKU RESORT – FOOD SAFARI
You don’t get much more paddock-to-plate – or, shall we say, mangrove-to-mouth – than this! At Nanuku Resort Fiji, culinary experiences are their speciality. In their Fiji Food Safari, local guides will teach you how to catch crabs, and you’ll venture to a local market to bring back the freshest produce. Return with the fruits of your adventure, weave coconut fronds around fish, meats, and vegetables, and marvel as they are cooked underground – lovo style. The Nanuku Resort chefs can also create a private lovo experience.
