ʻAʻai Kūloko vs. Nā ʻono o ka honua: He aha ka mea e manaʻo ai

Hoʻokumu ʻia ka meaʻai East Timorese i ka laiki, ka iʻa, a me nā mea kanu. ʻO kekahi o nā meaʻai kaulana loa o ka ʻāina ʻo ia ʻo ikan sabuko, he sopa iʻa laʻa i hana ʻia me ka tamarind, chili, a me ka lemongrass. ʻO nā kīʻaha kaulana ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ka batar daan, kahi mea ʻai meaʻai, a me ka feijoada, kahi puaʻa a me ka puaʻa puaʻa.

Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi mea ʻokoʻa, loaʻa i Dili kekahi mau hale ʻaina e hāʻawi ana i ka meaʻai honua. Hāʻawi nā hale ʻaina Italia e like me Pio X a me Piazza Roma i nā kīʻaha maʻamau e like me ka pasta a me ka pizza, aʻo nā hale ʻaina Iapana e like me Sakura a me Tokyo House e hāʻawi aku i nā sushi a me nā mea kūikawā ʻē aʻe o Iapana.

Ma hea e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai honua ma East Timor

ʻO Dili ka wahi maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai i nā meaʻai honua ma East Timor. Aia ka hapa nui o nā hale ʻaina e hāʻawi ana i nā ʻono honua ma ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale, a puni ke kahakai kahakai. ʻO Piazza Roma, no ka laʻana, aia ma ke alanui kahakai nui a hāʻawi i kahi ʻano kīʻaha Italia. Aia ʻo Sakura a me Tokyo House ma ka hale hoʻokahi ma ke alanui hoʻokahi, a hāʻawi i kahi ʻano kīʻaha Iapana.
