Holiday memory — Egusi Soup that transported me back

I first ate Egusi Soup on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the deeply umami from fermented ingredients quality I remembered. locust beans dawadawa was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. It was the a Nigerian restaurant abroad memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. zobo hibiscus drink was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
