Street Food vs. Homemade Meals Hello Lagosians! I have been reflecting on one of life’s toughest decisions as a foodie: Street Food or Home-Cooked Meals? Which really is more satisfying? Let’s talk. The Street of Lagos has foods, like orisirisi food. From suya sizzling on open grills to the irresistible aroma of akara frying in bubbling oil. Heavens help you stay close to a motor park or area with school students, you won’t lack. The street Ewa-Agoyin and Egg soaked in pepper usually does it for me. Now that I think about it, I should change my “Tai in the […]

The Burger Place, Lekki Icon Place, 14, Emma Abimbola Cole, Lekki Phase 1 | Phone | Instagram I heard this Burger Place serves the most tasty Burgers and Shawarma for every budget. So, I stopped by the branch in Lekki phase 1 for a quick bite. I am all in for brands saying just what they are. If you claim to be the best, serve the best. Well, to the main deal. MEAL I opted for the Full Burger Bliss Combo 3 which comes with a cheeseburger, fries, wings, and a drink. The cheeseburger was decent. The wings were […]

Chill Spot, UNILAG Unilag Sports Center, Akoka, Unilag | Phone | Instagram Is this what UNILAG students are enjoying? I heard about Chill spot from a friend of mine and decided to check them out. Their space is warm and quite relaxing. It would be nice for hangouts and even simple dates. Now, to the main deal. MEAL I ordered the Happy Boy Combo and Blue Lagoon Mocktail. Just as the name implies, the Happy Boy Combo lived up to its name except for the “Fried Rice”. The rice was bland; i didn’t enjoy it one bit. However, the […]

Cherish Kitchen, Oniru Oniru Market – In front of the Palace Gate| Phone | Instagram There’s something about street stir fry pasta that does it for me. I spotted Cherish Kitchen and stopped by for some quick lunch. Okay, you know I am absolute believer in street foods, I would vouch that the meals from there hits the spot better than anything else.

Iya Samodi, Mushin Mushin | Phone | Instagram I visit Iya Samodi; a popular amala spot in mushin as it came highly recommended by my amala avengers, just to try their amala. The space is very small and looks unhygienic, it looks like an amala factory. MEAL I had Lafun (white amala) with gbegiri and Ewedu; the amala was lumpy, the stew, gbegiri and Ewedu were very flavorful, the beef had no flavor at all. OVERALL EXPERIENCE I didn’t enjoy the meal at all and I won’t be visiting to eat Iya Samodi Amala again. I was left underwhelmed, as […]

Emi Oga, Surulere 76 Adeniran Ogunsanya St, Surulere, Lagos | Phone | Instagram This Amala hunt has led me into eating salt and oil. These recommendations are starting to get scary. I visited Emi Oga’s place in Surulere because it had been recommended a few times by a couple of my followers claiming their Amala would beat the rest. I decided to visit; I got there, and their space was neat and small, but the staff wasn’t friendly at all. You would think that would make the food tasty, but no. MEAL I was got there very early, they only […]

Xplode Deli (Lekki) Victoria Crest, Orchid Hotel Road | Phone | Instagram I walked into Xplode Deli for lunch. I’ve been passing this area, but never really noticed this spot until recently. It was such a simple and cozy space. MEAL Their menu was quite affordable. I got Yam and Egg Sauce, and it was just too spicy and the eggs weren’t whisked properly as they didn’t blend with the spices. Some parts were too tasty than others. The yam was well cooked and soft. I believe they could have done better. Who messes up egg sauce? OVERALL EXPERIENCE The […]

Street Food in Lekki – Lowcol Food Truck Admiralty Wy, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos | Phone | Instagram Who else has noticed this Food truck close to Lekki Phase 1 gate? Well, I decided to stop by to see what really goes on in there. It’s small food truck, so if you’re dining in, note that the space can get cramped and hot, and that’s expected because the spot is made out of iron containers. MEAL Let’s get to it. Their menu mainly comprises of Nigerian breakfast options. They also have rice and pasta. I got Akara (6 balls) and […]
