3. Explain why someone has to stay by the Puaka Tunu and constantly rotate it over heat.

a) True b) False

5. Faikakai Topai is a Tongan dessert. What is it?

a) Brown sugar Donuts b) Coconut Dumplings

c) Deep-fried Donuts d) Sugar Soup

6. When making ‘Otai, explain why people in Tonga might use coconut milk instead of cow's milk. 

→They use coconut milk because sometimes cow milk is not available in Tonga.

7. Write what Tongan dishes you would like to try and why.

→I would try Otai and Ota Ika because Otai is made from several different flavours and it tastes really fruity. But the one Otai I would try is Mango because that is the best. Also the reason I want to try Ota Ika is to see if it is different from the rest of the raw fish that other cultures make. Either way it will still be yum.
