Ma waena o kāna mau kīʻaha ʻono he nui nā mea ʻono o Palauan no ko lākou ʻono a me ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana. Hana ʻia nā mea ʻono Palauan ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻai kūloko e like me ka niu, ke kalo, a me ka ʻoki, a ʻike pinepine ʻia nā mea ʻono a me nā mea ʻono.
Na Mea ʻono a ʻono o Palau
ʻO kekahi o nā mea ʻono Palauan kaulana loa ʻo "Batard," he keke laiki paʻa i hana ʻia ma ka hui ʻana i ka palaoa laiki me ka ʻaila niu a me ke kō. Hoʻomoʻa ʻia ka hui ʻana i ka lau maiʻa a moʻa. ʻO kekahi mea ʻai kaulana ʻē aʻe ʻo “Blukukul,” he hui ʻono a ʻono o ka ʻoki ʻoki ʻia, waiu niu, a me ke kō i kālua ʻia i ka lau maiʻa.
ʻO kekahi mea ʻai kaulana ʻē aʻe ma Palau ʻo “Dudel,” he keke i hana ʻia mai ke kalo i kālai ʻia a me ka waiu niu. Hoʻohui ʻia ke kalo me ka waiu niu a me ke kō a hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka paila maʻemaʻe a laila kālua ʻia i ka lau maiʻa. He ʻono iki ka ʻono a me ka nutty kēia mea ʻai, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi loa ia ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi.
E ʻimi ana i nā ʻala momona o nā mea ʻono Palauan
ʻAʻole ʻono wale nā mea ʻono Palauan akā hōʻike pū kekahi i ka hoʻoilina moʻomeheu kūʻokoʻa o nā mokupuni. ʻO kekahi laʻana ʻo "Ngiak," he mea ʻono i hana ʻia mai ka maiʻa mashed i hui ʻia me ke kō a me ka waiu niu. Hoʻomoʻa ʻia ka maiʻa mashed i loko o ka lau maiʻa a hiki i ka caramelized, hāʻawi i ka mea ʻono i kahi ʻono a momona.
ʻO kekahi mea ʻai maʻamau ʻo "Omechelengelel," i hana ʻia me ka hoʻomoʻa ʻana i ka ʻoki ʻoki a me ka waiu niu a mānoanoa. A laila ninini ʻia ka hui ʻana i loko o kahi kīʻaha a waiho ʻia e maʻalili, e hana ana i kahi ʻano like me ka pudding. Hāʻawi pinepine ʻia kēia mea ʻai me kahi kāpīpī o ke kinamona ma luna.

Mai ka pōpō laiki koʻikoʻi "Batard" a i ka pudding-like "Omechelengelel," aia kahi mea ʻai no kēlā me kēia ʻono ma Palau.
