Bon appetite


Jollof Rice

Fried Rice

It is said that no matter the quantity of fried rice provided at a party in Lagos, it will be the first to be finish. Lagosians love fried rice and relish the opportunity to eat it. With salad and chicken to go with it, the party is definitely in full groove.
Semo

Who wants to eat eba at an owambe party when semo is supposed to be available? With a tantalising soup and huge beef, Lagosians are on the way. As expected, it is eaten with the bare hand and you can see people smacking their lips and nodding their head if it is well prepared. Lagosians love their semo soft and smooth and the host is expected to make it that way.
White Rice

White rice is eaten every day in Lagos and is the number one staple food. You’ll find this food at an owambe but history has shown that those who order for it either prefer the Pfada variant and are solely interested in the meat that comes with the dish.
Pounded Yam





Pounded yam is a delicacy that grazes special parties in Lagos. Sometimes, it is reserved for those eligible to seat on the platform. In the twinkle of an it’s already finished if you don’t make your request quickly. It is preferable eaten with egusi or vegetable soup.
