We had a sample of some local dishes and it was quite fun. As we gathered, what you see above is a cuisine that has its roots with the natives of Rivers State, Nigeria. Core ingredients for this meal, as prepared by this restaurant is as follows:
- Stock fish (dried)
- Cocoyam (used as a thickener)
- Periwinkles (pulled out of their shells)
- Prawns
- Green leaves (Uziza)
This meal is usually presented with pounded yam, semi or any (what we call) swallow. It is referred to as the sea food meal of Rivers’ state and has been made common in the southern part of the country (Nigeria).
My personal favourite for the day!
This is Afang, a popular vegetable-like cuisine made popular all over the country from its origin in Cross River, Nigeria. It can be referred to as a healthy meal and in this restaurant, they have its core ingredients as follows:
- Afang leaves (no idea what the botanical name is lol)
- Water leaves (a particular leaf that has a high percentage of water)
- Palm oil (oil that is got the nuts from palm trees)
- Dried cray fish
- Dried stock fish
- Dried fish
This is usually served just like the native soup. It is a must try.
Another healthy meal that most people can relate with. It is called Okro soup and made primary of the popular vegetable known as Okra. In the Jevinik restaurant, it is made primarily of the following ingredients
Okra
Palm oil
Mushrooms
Dried fish
vegetable leaves
Very lovely dish indeed.
