The other day there was a Fundraising event advertised on a Wide Bay Homeschooling Facebook page and I was thinking it sounded like a great way for our boys to experience more culture in their world, and I was keen cause I know how yummy the food would be from cooking it in the ground!
I asked how much the Hangi Fundraising For PNG was going to be for the evening, and it was only $5.00 per small plate and $10 per large plate – super good value for money considering how much food there was to try. The pumpkin – OH my gosh, I have never ever tasted Pumpkin like it, and I don’t think I will ever taste it that good ever again!
Here is the description of the Fundraiser ::
“Ol Meri Wantok – Bundaberg Inc. is doing a Fundraising mumu to raise enough funds to assist with airfares and Australian visas fees for two PNG traditional dance teachers joining couple of our local Islander dancer teachers for Cross Cultural Dance Workshop program starting mid-June 2016. The workshop will run for about 10 weeks which will be advertise for the interested public who wish to do some Pacific Island dances.”
The meat was at the bottom, and then veggies piled on top – layers and layers of the most amazing veggies!
The Hangi Fundraising for PNG cooked Chicken, Beef and Pork. With Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes, Pumpkin, Corn, Green Veggies and they even had coconut Rice. The most amazing tender meat, with the most amazing veggies ever. I could easily have eaten two plates but I was full – mind you I didn’t try the Coconut Rice, David did and said it was yummy.
We loved the crowd of people, they had drumming, slack rope that is like a Tight Rope walking, beautiful hand made bags from PNG for sale and our kids had a wonderful time! We did leave far too quickly to say “Thanks” to the amazing ladies who organised the night {Kids hey!} but gee we had the best time.
Have You Been To Hangi Food Fest?
