This PNG family-run food truck is serving lamb flaps across Qld, including an entire NRL team
Papua New Guinea might be a land of over 800 native languages, but if there's one language understood across any cultural gathering, it's food.
When it comes to traditional kaikai, you'll find that regionally some prefer the mumu whilst others opt for the aigir.
Perhaps a plate of smoked fish and saksak is all one needs to be satisfied.
All options considered, a big winner on a big festival day like PNG's Independence Day celebration is the lamb flaps.
So you'd best believe that when Nesia Daily saw that there was a Papua New Guinean food truck driving around Brisbane, Australia — serving up lamb flaps to both Australians and the wantoks abroad — we had to meet the person behind the wheel.
In this edition of Mean Feeds, head chef and owner Afa'alie Ninkama shared how she got started in the culinary business and what it was like serving food to the Brisbane Broncos NRL team upon request.
