Vakalolo

Vakalolo is a steamed Fijian dessert consisting of grated cassava and coconut, sugar, and optional spices such as cinnamon and cardamom. The concoction is traditionally wrapped in banana leaves, then steamed. In most villages, vakalolo is prepared for weddings, birthdays, and similar events. When served, the dessert should be placed in a bowl, while heated coconut milk should be poured over the top.
