Tulele's lovo lunch packs

Tulele's Lovo is little bit different to the establishment we usually review. There is no restaurant, just lunch pack delivery service. As far as we know, it is Suva's first eatery to accept online orders - all you internet-enabled desk jockeys can head over to the lovo order form, and line up your Friday lunch.


You get a quarter chicken, rourou in lolo, big pieces of dalo, a small lemon, and a couple of chillies. There is only one item on the menu so deciding what to eat is easy.

Chicken doesn't fit the usual lovo profile; we've come to expect dry, slightly smoky chicken from a lovo: this is tender and juicy. Thumbs up for that. Thumbs down for being inconsistent - we've found one in three is still bloody next to the bone.

Picky Eater and his significant other complain about the 'palusami', but this concern can be dismissed, because it isn't palusami - it is rourou and lolo, cooked in a pot. I think its rather good.


Full marks for freshness: the 'palusami' was obviously packed hot ... so hot it melted holes in the bottom of more than one Styrofoam takeaway container in the batch we ordered. One just hopes that one isn't eating melted phenylethane with the rourou.

Your meal can turn up anywhere between 1100 and 1330 depending on where you are located in the delivery run. You may need a microwave in the office to fully enjoy it.

Overall a fresh and tasty meal, if inconsistent in timing, packaging, and preparation.
