About Āhuru Kai Kōhua Poaka
The boil-up is a dish of love, traditionally made in big pots for whānau and friends. It brings people together. Te Papa wanted to capture the essence of this traditional Māori kaiand give it a gourmet twist.
Traditional boil-up pork roulade, with Pagro lettuce, puha mousseline, and horopito aioli in a toasted Brezelmania watercress milk bun, with hand-cut kūmara fries, mānuka honey aioli, a shot of bone broth, and a heart-shaped raspberry framboise dessert.
Please note we aren’t able to accommodate dietary requirements.
