Egusi soup
Burger
Chicken and chips

Had the same feeling about Burger until I tried Kfc's burger (no tomatoes, spinach, onions, bla bla). Just bread, mayonnaise, and some boneless crispy chicken. Best thing ever 😅

I tried it twice and found it disappointing. Sweet is relative when it comes to food.
Mexican food is said to be very sweet, I tried various combo many times and couldn't relate - same with Ghana jollof grin .

Oha soup is actually very sweet

Fishermen Soup
That shit is the most overhyped food in the World. Paid 6k for a plate on Monday in PH. I was extremely disappointed.
Never again.
You were scammed.
It is one of the best and one of the most nutritious soups ever.

I couldn't get myself to eat that thing when I went to work in Sapele for about 3 months plus, but con see as babes dey rush am.
So disgusting!

Don't mind them. Igbos and Niger deltans, they're always the first to say Ewedu and Amala is disgusting, whereas if you see how they make their food, you'd puke... Starch meant for drying clothes, the local starch for clothes is what they eat in their village.

You don't know 10% of Yoruba foods... Forget what y'all see in Lagos... I'll leave you to keep playing now.

Try Debonairs Pizza, Domino's Pizza is wack and tasteless.

I have tried different Pizzas from few outlets and lounges ,I just don't 'feel' it. One time a friend bought seafood pizza ,I ended up 'saving ' some of the seafoods and discarded the rest.

That would be Ewedu.. (No disrespect to my SW brothers and sisters)

My ex so over hyped it any time we talk on the phone... So, I decided to try it out. She invited me to their house so I can confirm the hype.

Her mom has already prepared it before my coming, so it was straight to the dinning table.

Amala was very smooth, as it slides it's way down my throat, but the soup, just didn't see the hype. Na the many meat wey surround the soup I just deal with.

But their “Ewa Goyin” is world class and deserves all the hype

Maybe them no cook the ewedu proper for you sha.

It's just a boil and chop fast-food for those who don't like taking garri - the fastest fast-food ever.
