Baraka eat house

I was in town running errands and had to catch up with some friends before leaving Port Harcourt the next day, so we planned to meet up and chill at Yogo Berry.

On getting there, I realized Baraka Eat House (Grill) was just across the road. 

I excused myself and walked across into Baraka to place a quick order of Ribs and Chips which totally amounted to 3800 Naira. Before walking out, the well mannered and polite waiter asked if I wanted it  as take away. I nodded and he said that it would cost an extra 300 Naira. I was stunned but I paid regardless and went back to join my friends at the Froyo Shop.

Just before we were all done, I went back into Baraka to pick up my food and to my greatest surprise, both chips and ribs were wrapped in foil paper. I mean, where is that even done?

I was really upset by the packaging and then I asked the waiter if this is how their meals for takeaway are usually packed and he responded "yes"

I was absolutely disappointed that such a classy place would have really low and appalling packaging of food. I was in a hurry and didn't want to rant and make a scene so I took my food and left.

On getting home the chips was really soggy and I had only just tweeted a few days ago about soggy chips😒

The ribs on the other hand was well seasoned and really juicy and I enjoyed every bit of it. 

Rest assured, I wouldn't be ordering take out from there. I'd rather wait and eat my food there.

Baraka is located at:33 Apara Road Off Evo Road GRA  

PORT HACOURT and just across from it is the amazing Yogoberry.

Eastern Garden Chinese Restaurant and Bakery

 

 I've been in and out of Port Harcourt all my life and I never knew Eastern Garden was not just a pastry shop, but also a Chinese restaurant.

I happened to be around Aba road with my dad and we stopped to get custard bread (which is absolutely lovely) and then I realized they also had a Chinese restaurant on the side. So we stopped by to give it a try.

Eastern Garden is located at No 1 Ogbunabali West Layout, Aba Road Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

They had polite waiters and attendants, the environment was neat and the furniture was properly arranged as well. 

I had the Shrimp Fried Rice and Pork Sauce which took over 45 minutes to be served *gasp*. I was properly hungry by the time the food arrived. 

Thankfully, the meal was really tasty and generously served although I picked out all the shrimp from my rice.

I had my tummy full and even had enough as take away.

Their meals were reasonably priced for a Chinese Restaurant but I must say that I really did not fancy waiting that long for my food.

I recommend Eastern Garden for birthday and family dinners.

Bistro 22

My friend Ama chalker told me about Bistro 22 a couple of days ago and seeing that it was baby boys birthday season we had to check it out. 

 Bistro 22 is located at 22 with sithole  street across from zenith bank labone Accra, it wasn't difficult to locate. We got there at about 3:20pm and their kitchen was about to close😒 it was calm inside with neatly arranged furniture and a see through glass wall that made it look even more attractive. 

 They have very well mannered and attentive staff, we weren't interrupted much by the waiters as we went through their well detailed menu and eventually ordered the barbecue chicken wings, cosmopolitan cocktail, two different burgers all with fries and shrimps and plain rice. 

 Prior to the arrival of our meal we got complementary fresh bread and breadsticks served with humus mixed with beet juice, the meal didn't take a long time to get ready and everyone's food came almost together ( I hate waiting for my food).

 The wings were really hot and spicy,my friends enjoyed their meal as well and my cosmopolitan hit me pretty good too.they also had a breathtaking wine collection properly arranged in a shelf leaning against the wall. 

 Their prices were a bit up but totally worth it,the enviroment was really soothing and I'll recommend bistro 22 for business meetings and romantic/intimate lunch dates.

There's no love more sincere than the love for food.

Aunty Jane's fried rice

Hi guys,

My name is Obra Hutchison Bob-manuel and I am a foodie.

I have been really shy to admit this for a while now, but what the hell. I love to eat good food and I am proud of that. 

All my life I have been surrounded by a lots and lots of food. This is because my mum is a caterer equipped with staff  that all cooked. Each of her staff knew how to cook all sorts of food but had at least two meals as their speciality; which they cooked extraordinarily well. I remember, my mother had this one cook, Aunty Jane, who made the best fried rice ever. If you are conversant with Nigerian food, you will know that only very few people add chopped liver in their fried rice. Aunty Jane happened to be one of those people. Her fried rice had the appropriate look; it didn't have the overly green look that comes with adding too much curry. Her fried rice didn't have too much oil or too much vegetable. It really was the definition of perfect. Too bad we relocated and my mum had to hire new staff. 

Anyway,a few days ago, I saw a post which read "One cannot think well, love well and sleep well, if one hasn't dined well". I paused for a while and thought about this; it might not be completely accurate but there is a bit of truth to it. Food, and not just any kind of food but good, amazing, mouth-watering food, which is both appealing  and pleasing to the eyes that taste as good in the mouth, satisfying you  in every way possible. 

My purpose for this blog, is to write about different types of food, from different restaurants, spots and even fast food. The blog will review and inform my readers about the delicacies, reception and location of these restaurants. Just so you could visit and also try them too.

If there is anything else related to food, that you would like to comment on and inform me about, please leave a comment below and I will respond accordingly.
