Tongan Sekoni

Cultural Context

Originating from Tonga, Sekoni is a beloved treat often enjoyed during special occasions and gatherings. Traditionally made with simple ingredients, this scone-like dessert reflects the island's reliance on coconut and flour. Today, Sekoni is cherished not only in Tongan households but has also found its way into the hearts of many across the Pacific Islands and beyond, often served with tea or as a sweet snack.
