Jam Roll (Pai Siamu)

From Lita's kitchen homemade jam rolls (pai takai siamu)...

From Lita's herself she says, "My kind of weekend. Baked 8 Jam Roll(Pai Siamu ) for dinner with some of our friends from Kamaishi. and I also made two trifle for tomorrow .. There's still more cooking to be done will finish it in the morning . now its time to enjoy some QT with me Love." #happyweekend #lifeisgood #lovingit

My classmate and friend Liolita Hola Takapu from schools (Liahona High School and Brigham Young University-Hawaii) is residing with her hubby in Japan where his hubby plays rugby as a profession. She loves to cook for her husband. Every time her husband craves for Tongans' special delicacies she would cook and make these especially for him. I asked permission from her to use this picture and other pictures and she accepted my request. I also put here captions of her descriptions (Lita's descriptions). Hope you will enjoy the collection of pictures and recipes of the finest Tongan delicacies from around the world.

 

Lita says, "Aho uhouha ke ipu milo pe moe foi pai takai kiai." Best on rainy days Jam rolls (pai takai siaumu) — with www.facebook.com-Lita Hola Takapu.

 

 Pai takai (Jam Rolls) can go with any hot or cold drink but a cup of hot chocolate or milo would go best with it. This fine Tongan delicacy is not easy to make because it takes a lot of practice. You have to keep baking until the taste is right. When the taste is right you will need to eat 10 plus of these yummy jam pies and you will never get tired of the taste. I love pai takai (jam roll pies). With a cup of milo especially on rainy days it's just the right taste especially for this kind of weather. If you want to see more of this tasty little corner.
