As a tribute to the Eat Drink Lagos blog, this post is going to be in the style of their blog.
Dami: I've recently written about how much I love the Eat Drink Lagos blog , so when they announced a lunch time event, I was excited. I wasn't REALLY planning to match my excitement to actually paying for it and going but my sister convinced me by booking two places, at N8000 a place, that was basically kidnap (the things you do for family)
Mide: Um, Dami, you asked me to book you a place
Dami: Mide you told me the day after so like...
Dami: Anyway, I like the building.
Mide: It was nice. When we walked in there was a table full of men and another table full of people so it was like which one is our table
Dami: I almost jogged up to the owner and asked him. Thankfully, it wasn't the table full of men.
Mide: This tag was soooo cute, I took it home
Dami: yah, I mean I would have taken mine home too if she booked it in my actual name instead of her friends name...
Mide: I didn't think it would matter!
Dami: Right, whatever.
Dami: The first (of 7) courses was the fish macho.
'White fish in sesame dip topped with sundries tomato on plantain base.'
It looked nice and cute but it was MESSY to eat. The fish fell off, but it was okay.
Mide: OMG, this was like good, i preferred it to the ugly prawn thing. I had like 3, it was so good.
Dami: the prawn macho was basically the prawn version of the fish one. Meh.
Mide: I don't really like creamy stuff, so...
Mide: The chicken pops were papping! They were soo good, I had like ten.
Dami: Everyone was raving about these, but to be honest, I've never really been that into sweet chicken.
Mide: the chicken log was definitely scotch egg disguised as chicken logs.
Dami: I had high hopes for this, but I took one bite and just couldn't. Then again, I was full, so there was that. I just didn't feel like the cheese, chicken and the hard casing really worked together.
Dami: I had the sweet berry which tasted really strongly of vanilla, which wasn't surprising but I had serious drink envy for the copa del lebanon. It looked fresh and delicious.
Mide:.
Dami: look at iiiiit!
Dami: look how cute this is
Mide: it's a table
Mide: I hooked girl up, hmm mm. Skin was looking on fleek.
Dami: my sister actually takes the best pictures of me. It's the love!
Dami: I love the wood details of the menu
Mide: Oh my gosh (sarcastically because I have no actual views)
Dami: these pulled pork sliders just didn't work for me. The pork was shredded really finely and it looked and tasted like beans. It just wasn't working for me.
Mide: It was a bit sweet, but the bread was lovely.
Mide: who's that baddy on the wall
Dami: (she obviously means me)
Mide: There was so much food, I felt really sick for the rest of the evening. It was definitely worth the money though.
Dami: It was TOO much food. I think the next one should have less food and at least one drink. Although water was included in this one and it was free. The lunch was definitely amazing. Conversation was great and it was a perfect number of people. I feel like a round table would be nicer for next time, there were some people I barely spoke to at all. It was definitely worth it, especially in a place like RSVP where ordering starters can set you back N5000 on a regular day.
