In the traditional diet culture of the Maori people, there is a unique cooking method called "Hangi". Tasting a Maori Hangi feast and experiencing the authentic Maori style is one of the must-have experiences when visiting New Zealand.
Mouri's traditional pit-roasting method involves digging a hole in the ground, heating many round stones in the pit, then sealing fresh ingredients such as pork, lamb, potatoes, and sweet potatoes with leaves or tin foil, placing them on the hot stones in the pit, and finally filling the gaps with mud or leaves to ensure heat retention. After 3-4 hours of roasting, the pit-roasted delicacies that come out of the oven not only emit a hot and fragrant aroma, but also taste fresh and tender.
This time, we entered the Te Pā Tū Maori cultural village in Rotorua, watched the characteristic performance, and tasted the authentic Maori oven-roasted food in candlelight and music.
Friends from all over the world gather together, singing, eating, and drinking. At this moment, music is the bridge that connects different countries. Ariana, the daughter of a tribal leader, is talented in singing and dancing. Whenever someone mentions their own country, she can sing a song from that country, be it China, England, Wales, France, Denmark, Thailand, India, the United States, the Philippines... She's amazing!
