Now studying for his postgraduate honours in design, Tonga is keen to experiment with flavours and local food products. ''I've never been scared to try food.'' After throwing a few ideas around, his lecturers urged him to go for it, so he set up Crooked (with the K back to front) Spaghetti with the aim of producing innovative flavoured pastas. So far the lemon-infused pasta has been very popular, but the most surprising response has been to the ''cricket'' pasta. It's a bit more expensive because the cricket flour is expensive so it surprised me.''
