Last week was the beginning of Easter, during which I had to travel home to spend the weekend with my family. I have missed home a tiny bit, but I still prefer staying at my place at school because of the privacy. One of the things I miss most about home is my favourite canteen spot, where I get to buy pepper soup at a very cheap price.
Every time I head home, the canteen is always the first thing on my mind. I always make sure to visit the place to have a good African plate and pepper soup.
In my eyes, the food itself is art, a true definition of beauty. The yellow Eba made with yellow garri and the delicious taste of their Egusi, which all cost $1.6 each, are reasons why I will never stop coming here!
I wanted to make some nice photographs of the yellow garri by taking the upper and side views. I love yellow garri when it is used to make eba. It has a very interesting taste, unlike the white garri, which tastes not so good when it is in my mouth when I eat it after it has been moulded into Eba.
The Eba was so soft and smooth on the hand. The person who made it must surely be a professional in the kitchen, with the texture of how the eba was. I have never made eba that is as soft as this, and I wish I could.
This is the soup that I ate with the eba. I requested for Egusi and Draw Soup, which is why I was given this. The draw soup is actually Egbonno soup. There are other draw soups like Okro, which has been a long time since I ate it last.
I like the combination of the draw soup and Egusi; it gives a very nice and relaxing taste.
Now we have the pepper soup, which is what I loved the most. For the pepper soup, I ordered both catfish and goat meat. I was happy that they had catfish available, as most of the time, catfish is not always available to be sold.
I always enjoy the taste of the pepper soup, so I had to pour some of the pepper soup into my egusi so that I could finish up my eba.
After I finished my hunger, I had to control myself because it felt as if I should order another plate, which would make me spend more than I had planned. This is the main highlight of how I spent my Easter!
