  • Malo e lelei everyone! So here is another cooking vlog! In this clip I attempt to make faikakai from Tonga! It is similar to the caramel dumplings from Samoa (topai). I do apologize if it's not the legit faikakai from Tonga - this again was my first time making it lol shoutout to my friend Sa Peasolo in Sydney!!! You're loyal!! 💯💯💯 Hope you enjoy this video and dont forget to like and subscribe!!
    Please check out the full recipe via 196 flavours.com! They are awesome! This is just my take on the recipe:
    For the lolo (coconut syrup)
    1 cup sugar
    1 cup coconut cream (or thick coconut milk)
    For the topais (dumplings)
    2 cups flour (Self Raising)
    1½ cup shredded coconut
    2 ripe bananas , mashed
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    ½ cup water
    3 tablespoons butter
    Instructions
    Lolo (coconut syrup)
    Put the sugar in a small saucepan over low heat and dissolve slowly.
    Before reaching boil, add the coconut cream and stir until mixture is thick. Set aside.
    Topais (dumplings)
    Bring a large pot of water to boil.
    Meanwhile, combine flour, ½ cup of shredded coconut, bananas, sugar and vanilla in a bowl.
    Mix all ingredients together and gradually add ½ cup of water to form a fairly dry dough.
    Roll into tablespoon-sized balls and place in the pot of simmering water.
    Gently boil the dumplings for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Drain and set aside.
    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add 1 cup of shredded coconut and stir until the coconut turns brown.
    Serve dumplings, pan fried coconut and caramel together. You can have this dish hot or cold - up to you! ENJOY!
