Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets or general grocery stores in Port Vila. Fresh produce and local poultry are available at the municipal markets. Queijo prato and creme de leite are specialty imports; if unavailable, you may substitute queijo prato with a mild semi-hard cheese like Edam or Gouda, and substitute creme de leite with thick heavy cream.
