  • 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!
    What we ate and where we ate it:
    1. Kai & Co, Kenwall Gallery, Ara Tapu, Avarua, Cook Islands. Open 8am to 1:30pm Monday to Thursday, 8am to 2pm Friday, 8am-12:30pm Saturday. Bosso BLT Wrap $15, Tropic Chicken Wrap (with fries) $20
    2. Palace Takeaways, Q6V7+XVF, Ara Tapu, Avarua, Cook Islands. Open 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 12pm to 10pm on Sunday. Wet cheeseburger $8

    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 CZcams 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.

    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  Před měsícem +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
