Chinese in Benin City; Kung Fu, Kada Plaza

Hey guys,

Merry Christmas to you all:) I pray this season brings nothing but joy and happiness to you.

I traveled to Benin City for a couple of days to spend time with family.

Throughout my stay, I was craving Chinese food for some reason. I stumbled across a restaurant in a place called KADA PLAZA. I was pretty excited when I saw 'Kung Fu' with pictures of different Chinese meals in the plaza.

My friend and I went in to see what they had, it was very surprising for me as it was not the usual Chinese I was used to. Even the staff had different names for the meals they offered.

They had a buffet setting. How it works is, you select the meals you want then go to the cashier to tell her what you want. The cashier makes a bill for your meal, you pay then take the bill (or docket like they called it) to the server who then serves your meal for you. The process sounds long shey?!?! I thought so too.

They had meal options like shaki in sauce, beef in sauce, gizzard in sauce, turkey, coleslaw, chicken in sauce, chinese rice, vegetable rice etc. It was not a large variety of options though.

I think the concept was to mix Nigerian and Chinese delicacies to appeal to the customers but it was not really working for me. I mean if it is supposed to be a Chinese Restaurant then abeg please let it be fully Chinese meals na...sigh

Overall, it was not so bad...think I would give the restaurant a 5 out of a 10. The service was pretty slow and at times they ran out of food so you had to choose another option or combine two together (I had to do that when I was ordering take away)

I have made a to-go list for 2015...Places I need to go before the year ends..I pray I can go everywhere especially with this horrible Lagos Traffic

1. Hans and Rene
2. Mico's House of Chicken and Waffles
3. Piccolo Mondo Restaurant

                                  Have we all been able to achieve our goals for 2015??

Time with the family at BUKKA HUT LEKKI

Hello everyone,

I hope our week has been splendid:):)

I am so excited that more and more people read my posts. It is so encouraging:):) I hope you all enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing.

Last weekend, my dad decided to take my brothers and I out for lunch. He mentioned there was a really good place in Lekki he had been to a couple of times. I was excited because it was definitely a new place for me to talk about on the blog.

He took us to a place called Bukka Hut on Admiralty way in Lekki. On getting there, I remembered my cousin had told me about the place and how good the food was so I was more excited.

The restaurant has a buffet setting so you could see all the varieties of food they had to offer. They had different types of fish, amala, semovita, different types of rice, beans, beef, assorted meat, chicken, turkey and many more.

The food tasted very good and it was reasonably priced too:)

Fiesta Of Flavours

Hello people,

Happy Sunday:)

I hope we had a great week and looking forward to the week ahead. I wish you nothing but the best week filled with joy and happiness.

Remember my special announcement in my previous post. This weekend was the 3 days of food, music and fun called 'Fiesta of Flavours'.

It started last week Friday and ended today. I spoke to a couple of people and they said they had an amazing time there. Whoop Whoop!!

Unfortunately, I could not go due to unplanned events:(:( but I got feedback from a few people. The place had a huge variety of food stands, drink stands, play house for the children, celebrities came in to entertain guests, superb chefs cooking three and five course meals, food training and workshops, cooking competition, dancing competition and so much more. I swear I am beyond sad that I missed it:(

So if you were like me who missed out on the whole weekend, sorrryyy ooooo

Well, I am patiently waiting for next time.

Did any reader go??

Here are a few pictures from the weekend:):)

Family Day out to Ikeja City Mall, Lagos

Hello people,

HAPPY NEW MONTH:):)

It is December and the last month of 2015. Whoop Whoop!!! This year has been a mixture of amazing and sad for me but all I can say is God is good:)

For next year, I am going to set out goals for my blog and my eating lifestyle. Would be sharing my goals on the next post. I think setting goals keeps you motivated and continuously keeps you in line:)

So today was literally a food fest day:)

Usually, I go to the city mall for KFC or Mr Biggs or Debonairs Pizza but today was different. I actually went to watch a movie with my mum.

After the movie, she brought the idea that we should go to Shoprite supermarket to see what they had to offer rather than the usual places we go to. We got in and I immediately went to the Hot Meals section. I wanted something different so I chose the rice seafood paella, grilled chicken in onion sauce, mixed vegetable salad with no cream, chicken samosa and spring rolls. I topped it up with a vanilla ice-cream with snickers topping from cold stone.

THEY GAVE ME JUST ONE SNICKER:(:(
