Cinnamon-sweet and crisp on the outside, succulent and tart in the inside! That best describes this pretty straightforward dessert coupled with a delectable scoop of pandan ice cream. The secret to making a very crisp samosa is in the spring roll pastry itself. Buy those that are thicker and have more rice flour than extenders. Of course, you would only know by trial and error. The pineapple filling is also prepared using fine Fiji vanilla bean lending a more refined taste.
This dessert is part of the 2008 Fiji Tourism Awards menu.
