Laplap with a Topping
🍽️

At Port Vila's Market House, the base is always the same grated laplap — what changes, and what customers queue for, is the topping ladled on top.
At Port Vila's Market House, rows of vendors sell laplap by the slice with a choice of toppings — coconut cream and cabbage, canned corned beef, chicken, or tuna — spooned over the steamed base and wrapped up for a quick lunch.
Why it's made this way: The Market House has become the city's central laplap hub, where vendors compete on toppings rather than the base itself, turning a traditional feast dish into a fast, everyday lunch option for Port Vila workers.
