She made Rourou for the first time...
Watch me ( Lea ) making Rourou from scratch for the very first time - including peeling cassava - never done that in our almost 4 years of relationship! Can you believe it??? Yeah me neither :D
Do you think Marika likes it?
Anyways, we are appreciating your support and if you got some tips on Rourou, let me know :)

I have Fijian neighbours and they would have big parties and I swear you would not even know there was anything going on you couldn't hear a thing besides the occasional infamous island hyena laugh lol. Quiet, humble and reserved people.
There must be a lot of proud Fijians right now! You go girl! 🇫🇯

I love the Fijian people. I've been to Fiji cos my husband is Fiji Indian n we visited his family in Taveuni island. There was a Fijian lady who came n help me cooking umu in our Samoan way n I'd also cooked palusami in our Samoan way n she loved it. It was a very beautiful place to stay but I was scared of the frogs running around lol. Me n the other Fijian lady went to catch the crabs at night when I was in Taveuni lol. I also have few Fijian friends n they're lovely people.
Home tip: My mum mentioned one time while making rourou that the rourou will taste good the more old it looks.. so even if it starts turning yellowish you still can make use of it. That way the rourou doesnt go to waste until you know its really withered
