Party Chops: Wedding Menus Naija Style

The Main menu
Nigerian event menu’s cut right to the chase, no need for a starter WHY? Because Nigerians will fill up on that, haven’t you noticed our national complaint is the small bread portions we get while waiting for food. The main food menu usually includes either the Nigerian menu which includes your everyday staples such as vegetable stews, swallows, yam porridge, ofada rice and the almighty firewood cooked party Jollof rice or the Chinese option which is a Nigerian-sed rendition of Chinese food, this could either be a hit or miss – I was had the unfortunate pleasure of being offered Singapore noodles made with fat over cooked spaghetti, If you want proper quality Chinese served at your event, go through our registered vendors HERE, you won't be disappointed!

While growing up, it’s natural for siblings and cousins to have disagreements, fights and even exchange a few blows, these experiences always make for great stories when you are all older.
