Topai, a polynesian dish that has many different names to it through out the South Pacific. From the friendly islands of Tonga, we call it Topai. My grandma would whip up these sort of dessert every once in awhile, and the taste of the coconut milk always made me wanting more. A simple and easy dish to make. Hope you all enjoy! Malo

Omg thank you! My mum would always make this for us as kids in the winter time in NZ. Now that it’s Winter here in Australia, I can attempt to make it for my kids who sometimes ask for topai but I never knew how to make it Lol. I do remember my mum adding coconut to the dough though. Thanks again ☺️

Aw well I hope your kids enjoy the treat!

This was an ultimate Tongan struggle feed in Tonga when I was growing up although we added the coconut pulp to the dough after the coconut milk was made. Traditionally you also add la’i moli or a couple of leaves from a lemon tree to the pot while boiling & no vanilla. Traditionally it’s a breakfast food rather than a dessert.

@TasteoftheSouthpacific 4 года назад

Yes la'i moli was usually added to the topai growing up as well, but since I'm overseas it was hard to find so I used vanilla extract instead.

Traditionally you eat and make it however you want to your preference 🙄

Thank you. Brings back memories of growing up in Auckland, New Zealand and having this dish in my home (father: Charles Ataongo Wolfgramm- Vava'u) n mother: Hena Vea Langi - Ha'apai). Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Yes! I really wanted this recipe. I'm so going to make this to day. It's hella cold & this would warm us right up. Thank you & nice editing.

Thank you so much for making this video. I grew up eating Topai and til now Tongans still eats Topai. Can you do a video on the Fruit Cakes that Tongans make for their occasions. Great video by the way.

@TasteoftheSouthpacific 5 лет назад

Thanks! Sure I'll keep that in mind to make

@fancybaybeeh4241 5 лет назад

TasteoftheSouthPacific thanks I’ll be looking forward to it. Keep up the great work.

That must be African topai because we don't use baking soda or salt in our topai mixture. And we only add baking powder if we're making topai for faikakai.

@sub-zero4377 3 года назад

Too true I grew up making it with just mahoa'a, penu'i niu, huhu'a niu and suka 😋 no more no less

This looks similar to Filipino ginataang bilo bilo. I'm going to try this! Yum!

@itsJazzbo 2 года назад

I love that you said this. I’m Tongan, Filipino, and white and those dishes always remind me of each other but obviously the Ginataang bilo bilo is more complicated to make. I told my bf (he’s full Filipino) I was going to make him Topai today and I showed him this video and he said it looks like Ginataang too🇵🇭

I have never seen any Tongan add vanilla extract into their topai😳 let alone use soda

@lesihei6869 4 года назад

Lol. I've never tried it with vanilla, but I will attempt this tomorrow. Must taste gooood. Maybe even add banana. Cooking and baking....a science I say.

@SP_90_676 4 года назад

Vanilla extract, chia seeds, dried fruit and whole meal flour was new and diffrent for me but must say it tasted flippin awesome. Everyone has they own way making they own Topai

We have the same dish in Uvea & Futuna islands 🇼🇫 but, instead of coconut milk, we just use boiled water. And for the dough, it's just water & flower 😂. While boiling them, we add some lemon grass and just a bit of sugar. And that's it. Simple. I don't know why you use so much ingredients. It's like disrespecting all the oldest generations of Polys 😂

We have a similar dish in Samoa and it's called kopai. We use koko Samoa tho. I don't think this is a Tongan dish tho.

@kajolu4117 5 лет назад

We shouldn't really fight over what dish belongs to who. Did nobody ever stop to think the islands all have similar food? Although I thought this dish in Tonga was called Faikakai but it doesn't matter. We all eat the same foods in the end.
