The Essentials of a Polynesian Brunch<\/b><\/h3>\n

\ud83d\udd25 <\/span>Pua\u2019a Roti<\/b>\u00a0: The essential! This juicy, golden roast pig on the spit is a Sunday brunch classic. And for even more indulgence, add a grilled Chinese sausage. Want the best? Head to\u00a0<\/span>the Pua Roti at Liberty, right next to the cinema, near the Papeete market.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf3f <\/span>Chicken Fafa<\/b> A perfect mix of tender chicken, the sweetness of coconut milk, and the slightly spicy flavor of taro leaves (fafa). A burst of flavors! <\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc1f <\/span>Tahitian Raw Fish<\/b> Ultra fresh, ultra tasty! Tuna marinated in lime and coconut milk, with crunchy vegetables\u2026 A pure delight. <\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd5f <\/span>Chinese Food<\/b> : Because in Polynesia, culinary influences are varied. On the menu: <\/span>chao pao<\/b> (small stuffed buns with pork or chicken), <\/span>bouchons<\/b> (steamed ravioli) and <\/span>crispy spring<\/b> rolls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd65 <\/span>Coco Bread<\/b> : Soft, slightly sweet, with a subtle coconut flavor. Spread with butter, jam, or enjoy plain. <\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf69 <\/span>Firi Firi<\/b> : Impossible to resist! These figure-eight-shaped, slightly sweet donuts are perfect for dipping into a good cup of coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf60 <\/span>Po\u2019e<\/b> : A typical dessert made with fruit (banana, papaya, etc.) or vegetables (pumpkin, sweet potato, etc.), tapioca flour, and coconut milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf4d <\/span>Local Fruits<\/b> : Pineapple, mangoes, bananas\u2026 Full of vitamins and freshness to accompany your brunch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca6 <\/span>Coconut Water<\/b> : The ideal drink to hydrate and refresh yourself. 100% natural, 100% Polynesian. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ma’a Tahiti<\/h3>\n

If you want to take authenticity even further, why not opt \u200b\u200bfor a Ma’a Tahiti? This traditional feast includes roasted uru<\/span> (breadfruit), fe’i bananas<\/span>, and taro,<\/span> accompanied by raw fish<\/span>, roasted pua’a<\/span>, or fafa chicken<\/span>. And of course, all generously drizzled with fresh coconut milk<\/span>.<\/p>\n
