ADVENTURES OF A FOODIE RESIDING IN LAGOS
April 22, 2020
I have certainly lost count of the number of days we have spent indoors due to the Corona Virus and got tired of ‘normal food’ hence why I tried my hands on some Stir Fry Beef Teriyaki homemade style. This stir fry beef teriyaki was such an easy recipe to follow and to prepare as long as you have all your ingredients on deck. This recipe is a restaurant quality meal in the comfort of your own home so since we are missing ‘outside’ food, let’s make ours! Stir fry is one of the quickest and easiest meal options around. […]

Hi Guys, hope you all are being safe and practising social distance as much as possible. Chicken corn soup is a fave of mine and sharing this for others who may want to try this quick recipe at home.

I shared this picture of Chicken and Corn soup on Instagram and here is the recipe just like I promised. I learnt this from my […]

Casa Mexicana Abuja Ceddi Plaza, Tafawa Balewa Way, Central Business District, Abuja 0817 633 3222, 0817 6333 111 As soon as I entered Casa Mexicana, I thought I had entered a quaint city in Mexico. From the Mexican music, to the sombreros (wide-brimmed hats from Mexico), and the colorful décor and ambiance, it was definitely a meal to remember. Chukwuma and I deliberated for about two days before deciding to visit Casa Mexicana, and we were not disappointed. First world problems – deciding what restaurant to go to. 😆 (Ed note: Casa Mexicana is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Abuja – […]

Korean BBQ Lagos at Hua Han Hua Han Garden 45c Sobo Arobiodu Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos. 0909 867 7777, 0705 100 8888 So we started doing some mini food themed events recently and while venue scouting for one of such events, I and some friends checked HUA Han out. HUA Han is an authentic Korean Restaurant in Lagos and there was no way we were leaving without trying out the Korean BBQ. Korean BBQ is essentially grilling your food yourself using in-built gills in the dining table itself. I am not sure there are any other authentic […]

Flowershop Cafe 274 Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos 0906 666 6665 Flowershop Cafe opened in Lagos sometime in August because I remember going on holiday for two weeks and getting back seeing that it was open as the location is a daily route. It definitely looks like it is the latest and buzzing spots for good Breakfast and Brunch in Lagos. The space at Flowershop café is so beautiful that for a second I did not think I was in Lagos. Naturally lit, smells divine with fragrance from flowers at the flower shop in a small section […]

Hard Rock Lagos Hard Rock Café Lagos 3 & 4, Water Corporation Drive, Victoria Island 0908 198 8888 Hard Rock Café Lagos has a new limited menu which they have called ‘Infused with Love – the Encore’ Its funny that I have been to Hard Rock alot of times and somehow the reviews did not go up out of sheer laziness and the last post we had on Hard Rock Cafe Lagos was in 2016 – ah a lot of changes and things have happened. However, you would see more of our Hard Rock Lagos posts on our Instagram […]

Hey guys, quick news about Atmosphere Lekki which we thought to share. Not yet sure what to call this but maybe sharing any interesting news in the food scene from time to time. ATMOSPHERE LEKKI – NEW HEAD CHEF IN TOWN Sometime last week Imoteda announced subtly on Twitter and then later on Instagram that she now had a new gig at Atmosphere Rooftop Lekki as their new Head Chef. Updated profile and all – Nice! This is good news because Foodie in Lagos (we) were there sometime in June and it was a mess – read the review […]

Black Olive Black Olive Lagos 63 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, Lagos 0818 000 0734 Black Olive opened newly in Ikoyi in December 2018 I think and we went here in January but life happens and this post is rather late. For the sake of full disclosure, things may have changed. Anyways, this is our own review of Black Olive Restaurant. Black Olive occupies a rather obvious space on Awolowo Road Ikoyi so it’s quite a visible structure. There are seating spaces upstairs and downstairs and I went in on a busy weekday afternoon and upstairs was free to grab a […]

Indomie Cafe Lagos Circle Mall, Jakande While going about my business and errands today, I was looking for somewhere that was quiet and decent enough to have a quick meeting and then I saw ‘Indomie Cafe’. I had been at some presentation that disclosed this was in effect but had never actually seen one and thought it was just a concept. Thanks to curiosity, I went in and was quite pleased. Since Malaysia can have its own Indomie Branded Indomie Cafe IndoBowl serving all sorts of crazy Indomie combinations, I guess we also can have our own Indomie Cafe […]

Larusha’s Treats Abuja Larusha’s Treats The Capital Hub 272 Gwarimpa Expressway, Mabushi, Abuja 0807 228 9269, 0811 425 6930 When I first saw Larusha’s Treats on Instagram, I was blown away by their freak shakes, so I told myself that I have to go there soon. So what are freak shakes you may ask? They are high-calorie mega milkshakes; mega because the milkshakes come in large jugs, and are usually topped with chocolate, donuts, or cake slices. In the case of Larusha’s Treats, the freak shake I had was topped with a huge donut, whipped cream, and strawberry […]

Michelle’s Cafe Victoria Island Lagos Michelle’s Café Fourteen36 Mall, 1436 Sanusi Fafunwa Street, Victoria Island, Lagos 0818 816 7366, 0905 450 4042 I had always wanted to try out Michelle’s Café but due to my routine and commute at the time, it was never really possible until now. A colleague of mine would always come to work with some sandwiches and it was always smelling so good. So simple request, I asked her to get me one whenever she went there again and voila! I was in luck and brought me a sandwich from Michelle’s Café which is located […]
