Local Reef Fish

When it comes to food, what I really enjoyed most during our recent Fiji holiday was my lunch of grilled local reef fish. It came with some greens and colourful Fijian lime and orange fillet, sweet papaya and avocado. It was always sooo good! So good that I had it for lunch for a couple of days!

Crunchy Squid Rings

Sometimes I crave something slightly salty and this lunch ticks the box. The squid rings are crunchy and perfect with the plain steam rice. It comes with some green beans, boiled egg and pickles which make it a good combo.

Seared Salmon Sushi

This sushi is so delicious! It melts in my mouth! I always order it with my favourite ramen, and they just complement each other. I’ll have this anytime!

Teriyaki Salmon

This teriyaki salmon at Yayoi is a favorite. Paired with the ever sooo good rice plus a bowl of miso soup with seashells in it, oishi! I never get tired of it!

Pakapaka Delight

This is one of the best seafood dishes I ever had, it's grilled Pakapaka fish that came with coarsely mashed potatoes, asparagus and capers. It was super delicious, nourishing and energy-giving. Worth every dollar spent! It was sooo good, I ordered it again the next day :).

Calamari Rings

My choice as we had that lovely lunch next to the beach in Fiji was this calamari rings with salt and pepper. They were fried to perfection: crunchy, brownish and not too greasy. I could tell, they were from fresh, medium-sized squid as they were not fishy and chewy. The dish came with a small bowl of sour cream and a slice of Fijian lime. Delicious!

Reef Burger

As hubby claims it, one of the  most delicious burgers he ever had! It's called the reef burger and it was indeed yummylicious (as I had a small bite of it)! The fish fillets were properly cooked but not dry and together with the tomato garnish on top and some salad, sandwiched on that top-grilled bread, it was such a tropical delight!

Mackerel Dinner

Another hubby's favorite is this smoked mackerel at Yayoi. It's fun to see him devour on this one till just a few fishbones are left. You can order it as a meal with Yayoi's renowned steamed rice (so good!), miso soup, a few sashimi and some side dishes.

Sashimi Delight

It was a day of craving for Japanese food so got some sashimi and some others for dinner while waiting for the Saturday's fireworks.

Seafood Skewer

My hubby's pick, mouth-watering seafood skewer! It was kind of him to share one mini octopus which was surprisingly really tasty! My first to time try octopus so now I know the deal about it.

Coated Fish

This delicious coated fish, which name I forgot was my lunch near the beach! Served with salad and paired with refreshing smoothie, this one Fiji meal I don't forget ;).

Papaya Salad

I miss our own papaya salad but this one was good too. Perfect blend of sourness and sweetness with a tinge of spiceness :)! It came with grilled prawns, a small bowl of coconut rice and some green salad.

Egg Net Roll

I was curious what it was so I ordered it. This is egg net roll with poached salmon and salad inside, one of the entrees at a Thai resto nearby. It tasted good but just cold.

Beer-battered Cod Fillet

My choice for lunch at the zoo, beer-battered cod fillet with rocket salad, mashed peas (not in photo) and an accompanying dipping sauce.

Japanese Dinner

Found my love on sushi and sashimi. This was definitely an enjoyable meal. Filled my tummy till it ached.
