1. LOVO
Lovo is the most traditional dish in Fiji, which is characterized by following the most primitive cooking methods and perfectly showing the mixed flavor of the ocean and islands. It is usually prepared on festivals or major days. The raw materials of this dish are generally taro, cassava, yam, fish and shrimp, chicken, turtle meat, etc. First, the raw materials are washed, sprinkled with salt and spices, and then wrapped with coconut leaves. Then, stones or slates are filled in a pre-dug oven (sometimes a hole is dug in the ground) to heat up. Then, the wrapped food is tied securely with coconut leaves, placed on the slate, and finally covered with thick coconut leaves, and the food is slowly waited.
2. Fijian drinks
In Fiji, drinks are not only a necessity, but also a major dietary trend. Fiji Water, the world's top mineral water, originated in Fiji. When you arrive in Fiji, you drink this mineral water almost every day. Friends who like beer recommend trying Fiji Bitter and Fiji Gold. The tastes are very in line with the drinking habits of China people, and the price is not expensive, which is similar to that of local cola. There are many bars in Fiji, and there are many kinds of cocktails. Friends who like to drink a little must not miss Fiji's special cocktails. The cocktails here are made of fresh tropical fruits, mixed with strong whisky and agastache, with good color, fragrance and taste. If you don't know what to drink, it is recommended to taste the authentic Fiji special drink Fijian Punch.
3. Kava KAVA
KAVA was first prepared by the elders for the expedition participants in the blessing ceremony of Fiji tribes before they went out, hoping to bring courage and peace to everyone. Later, it gradually became a welcoming ceremony similar to Miao people drinking wine. KAVA is actually not a wine brewed from grain in the traditional sense, but is ground into powder from the root of a local plant (said to be pepper tree), and then soaked in water for drinking. The taste is determined by the amount of water. Although it is not alcohol, it can make people feel anesthetized. It is said that people who drink too much will be completely paralyzed and unable to move, although their minds are clear. KAVA is Fiji's tribal culture and one of the most solemn ceremonies! In Fiji, if you don't try it, it will be somewhat regrettable.
