Ke ʻimi nei i ke ʻano meaʻai ma Nauru
ʻAʻole paha ʻo Nauru, kahi ʻāina mokupuni liʻiliʻi ma ka Moana Pākīpika, ʻo ia ka wahi mua i manaʻo ʻia i ka wā e noʻonoʻo ai i nā mākeke meaʻai a i ʻole nā meaʻai alanui. Eia nō naʻe, hāʻawi ʻo Nauru i kahi ʻike culinary kūʻokoʻa i kūpono ke ʻimi. ʻO ka meaʻai Nauru he hui ʻana o nā mea ʻono Polenekia a me Melanesian, me nā mana mai nā meaʻai Kina a me Australia.
ʻO ka meaʻai o ka mokupuni ka nui o ka iʻa, ka niu, a me ke kalo. Ua hauʻoli ka poʻe kamaʻāina i nā meaʻai e like me ka ika vakai, ʻo ia ka iʻa maka i hoʻomoʻa ʻia i ka wai lemon a me ka ʻaila niu, a me ka palusami, ʻo ia ka lau kalo i hoʻopiha ʻia me ka ʻaila niu a me ka ʻakaʻaka. Eia naʻe, ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o Nauru a me ka nele o nā kumuwaiwai, hiki ke kaupalena ʻia ka loaʻa ʻana o nā huahana hou a me nā meaʻai.
ʻOiai nā paʻakikī, loaʻa iā Nauru kekahi mau mākeke meaʻai a me nā hale kūʻai meaʻai ma ke alanui kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻono i kekahi o nā ʻono ʻokoʻa o ka mokupuni.
ʻIke ʻana i nā Mākeke: Meaʻai a me nā meaʻai alanui
ʻOiai he liʻiliʻi, loaʻa iā Nauru kekahi mau mākeke meaʻai kahi e kūʻai ai nā kamaʻāina i nā huahana hou a me nā iʻa iʻa. ʻO ka mākeke kaulana loa ʻo ka Aiwo Market, aia ma ka moku ʻo Aiwo. Loaʻa iā ia nā ʻano huaʻai a me nā mea kanu e like me ka maiʻa, ka papaya, a me ka ʻuala. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā iʻa hou a me nā meaʻai kai, a me nā mea hana lima a me nā mea hoʻomanaʻo.
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i ka meaʻai alanui, a laila e loaʻa paha iā ʻoe ma ka hale ʻaina waho o ka Menen Hotel. Hāʻawi ka cafe i nā kīʻaha kūloko like ʻole e like me ika vakai a me palusami, a me nā kīʻaha Western-style e like me nā burgers a me nā fries. He wahi kaulana ka cafe no nā kama'āina a me nā mea mākaʻikaʻi, no ka mea, hāʻawi ia i kahi lewa a me ka hoʻomaha.
ʻO ke alakaʻi hope loa i nā mākeke meaʻai o Nauru
Inā ʻoe e hoʻolālā nei e ʻimi i nā mākeke meaʻai o Nauru a me nā wahi meaʻai alanui, aia kekahi mau mea e hoʻomanaʻo. ʻO ka mea mua, he ʻāina mokupuni liʻiliʻi ʻo Nauru me nā kumu waiwai liʻiliʻi, no laila hiki ke kaupalena ʻia ka loaʻa ʻana o nā huahana hou a me nā meaʻai. He mea nui e ho'āʻo i nā mea hou, no ka mea, ʻokoʻa a ʻokoʻa ka ʻai o ka mokupuni.
ʻO ka Aiwo Market ka mākeke meaʻai nui ma Nauru, a wehe ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā mai ke kakahiaka nui a hiki i ke ahiahi. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e kipa i ka mākeke i ke kakahiaka nui e kiʻi i nā hua hou loa. He kūpono nā kumu kūʻai, a he mea maʻamau ke kālepa.
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i nā meaʻai alanui, ʻo ka hale ʻaina waho waho o ka Menen Hotel kahi e hele ai. Wehe ia i kēlā me kēia lā mai ke kakahiaka a hiki i ke ahiahi, a hāʻawi i nā ʻano kīʻaha kūloko a me ke ʻano komohana. He kūpono nā kumukūʻai, a he mea maʻamau a hoʻomaha ka lewa.
I ka hopena, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ʻo Nauru no kāna mau mākeke meaʻai a i ʻole nā meaʻai alanui, ke hāʻawi mau nei ia i kahi ʻike kuʻina kūʻokoʻa e pono ke ʻimi. Mai ka iʻa iʻa hou a hiki i nā kīʻaha kuʻuna, ʻo ke ʻano meaʻai o Nauru he hōʻailona o kāna hoʻoilina moʻomeheu like ʻole. No laila, inā e hoʻolālā ana ʻoe i kahi huakaʻi i Nauru, e ʻoluʻolu e nānā i nā mākeke meaʻai a me nā hale kūʻai meaʻai alanui e ʻike ai i nā ʻono kūʻokoʻa o ka mokupuni.
