Celebrating easter with the family

Hey guys,

I hope we all had an amazing easter celebration and got to spend the holidays with family:)

I spent my holiday with my family and it was great. On Easter Sunday, we went to Raddisson Blu for lunch. The restaurant is at Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos. It is in the same place as Hans and Rene, the famous ice cream place in Lagos.

My mum loves that place so much. The ambience is great and they had a live band play while we ate.

My only issue with the place was even after we made a reservation and came on time, our reservation was given out to someone else so we had to wait a while.

The cost per person was N15,000 and the meal came with a glass of sparkling wine and chapman.

 

 

Because it was buffet, I could only get pictures of the food I chose. I went for FOUR rounds hehehe.

 

 

The Starter; peppered mackarel, shrimps, fish with coconut batter, ham pasta salad, sweet chilli

        The main course; veggies, plantain, jollof rice, prawns in cheese sauce, diced cowlegs

                            The breakfast course; ribs, chicken, sausage, pancakes with syrup

 

My last round was the dessert round but it was so yummy that I forgot to take a picture, I had four cakes with creme brulee and a vanilla mousse.

              Raddisson always gets a 9 out of 10 for me:) One of my fav places in Lagos.

Lunch time at Victoria Island Lagos

Hey guys

I am sure most of us can relate to the work life of a fresh graduate in Lagos. Lunch times are either spent in the office if your workplace provides good and free food or spent at a restaurant close to the office.

For me, I found a really good spot to spend my one hour lunch break. I went there with my team for four days stretch till we realized we needed to start cutting cost. This spot was called MAMA CASS.
I always heard about the place when I was in the UK but I never had the chance to go there.

The restaurant is cool, simple sitting arrangements with a mini selection of food choices from rice, swallows and soups, moi moi, beans. porridge, plantain and spaghetti.

One colleague loved spaghetti so she would always order it with chicken while the other loved 'pomo' (cow skin/fat). I on the other hand would order different things every day to experiment but never ordered porridge. On a scale of 1-10, the food would get a 7 because their stew was peppery sha

I used to go to the one on Adeola Odeku Street, VI and it was always full during lunch hours

Some of the dishes I ordered were

                                           RICE WITH BEANS, PLANTAIN AND BEEF

                                             PASTA WITH PLANTAIN AND POMO

                                              VEGETABLE WITH RICE AND POMO
