Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Wash and dry the taro leaves thoroughly.

Mix coconut cream with chopped onions, minced garlic, and lime juice in a bowl.

Add salt, pepper, and chopped chili peppers to the coconut mixture and stir well.

Layer a few taro leaves on a flat surface, overlapping them slightly.

Spread a portion of the coconut mixture over the leaves.

Place pieces of smoked pork on top of the coconut mixture.

Fold the taro leaves over the filling to create a parcel.

Wrap the parcel in banana leaves and secure with kitchen twine.

Place the wrapped parcels in a baking dish with a little water to create steam.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before unwrapping.

Serve warm, garnished with bay leaves.
