    As a Kiwi Tongan, I love that people tried Tongan foods and flavours. ‘Otai is the best drink, I think a mango one was profiled, but another popular flavour is watermelon. Tongan food is very simple, but very delicious and it’s often prepared in big portions, so easy to share with others. Lo’i hoosi is chefs kiss. You simply can’t knock it until you try it. We’ll try almost everything I reckon ❤ Mālō ‘aupito toko ‘Isoa for guiding the team. ‘Ofa atu mei AKL

    ...omfg... and now I want to go to Tonga soooo much! Faikokai, Otai, Loi hoosi - I am here for you, and those yams, absolutly. I am ALSO so glad there is someone else out there who has a moral code that prevents them eating octopus: They are smart, guys: Much smarter than your pet dog. In a generation or two (when the tech catches up) we will be having conversations with them, Their eye is almost identical to ours and their brain is bigger; they see the world through our eyes and think about it too. It is worse than eating dolphin.

    I like Clauds, she's hilarious, witty, creative, and beautiful, but I really do wish you would keep her out of food tasting videos. Maybe you guys do it purposely to get more views, but the fact that she repeatedly finds even black pepper spicy, gets on my nerves. I understand that those are her preferences, heck I'm a picky eater myself, just makes the video seems sort of cringey? At least when it comes to cultural food, or non desserts, I would rather you brought someone to the table that is more adventurous like Coops, or Tom, instead of having them man the cameras.
