BBQ in Tahiti

[Karl Repsher]

Hey all,

In the intro section I was asked to post some pics of Tahiti, here are some photos that might interest you of the downtown wharf area where the Cruise Ships dock, every night we have what we call in French Roullotes, they are converted vans used to cook and serve from.

The specialties of the roullotes range from Chinese food, steak or fish and fries, crepes and galattes, this is Mr Kim, our favorite Chinese roulotte.

The menu is written in French, English and Chinese.

This is a favorite here, bbq'ed young calf.

Most of the Roulottes are set up with a bbq grill and a wok station, here is a locally produced grill.

And here is high tech, a restaurant grade gas stove with bbq and a French fry station, notice the Butane bottle bottle used to fire them.

Ahh, limited to ten images, I'll continue in another post.

This Roulotte specializes in crepes and galattes which are called salty pancakes, they are made with buckwheat and whole wheat flours and are stuffed with many different ingredients, my favorite has spinach, hamburger, onion, cheese, bacon, tomato and a fried egg.

And this is our dinner cooked by Mr Kim, Sushi and white rice for my wife and Beef and Broccoli with Kai Fan for me.

There you go, night life for us in Tahiti, I hope you enjoy the pics and thanks for looking.

Karl
