The Best Plugs to eat Amala in Lagoss.

  

  PrintIf you are from the western region of Nigeria or you live within the area, chances are you have a deep love for Amala. The popular Nigerian delicacy made out of yam flour or cassava flour, it is difficult to visit any of the local bukkas in cities like Ibadan and Lagos without finding the meal on the menu.

    The great thing about Amala is that it is quick and easy to prepare, but when not prepared well, be ready to eat your Amala with lumps inside it and trust me you don't want that for your tummy. It is usually eaten alongside soups such as ewedu, gbegiri, okra and more, it is lightweight and makes for an easy swallow down the throat. 

1) Amala Shitta Surulere

Surulere no dey carry last!! If you find yourself around Shita “Small London”, then you need to try out our Amala before leaving our area code. Highly recommend with a chilled bottle of coke to step down the fun. It's a great spot to unwind with friends and elevate your taste buds to the other level.

2) Belgium Canteen, Mile 2

Don't let the foreign name take your mind away from the African delicacy you're about to eat. The rush hour during lunch time can make you wait endlessly for your order, so a quick tip “Always come early”.

3) White House, Yaba 

 Yaba is commonly known as Nigeria Silicon Valley and it lives up to its name and expectations. One of the many gems you should be in Yaba is The White House, and yes you should try out thier Amala and thank me later. It's affordable and worth the stress, so roll up your sleeves and dive into the beauty of your ewedu and Ogunfe. 

4) Olaiya Surulere

The secret to the ever-present crowd at the Olaiya canteen in Surulere has been passed down from one generation to another. Whatever it does not matter much to us amala lovers, as long as they keep serving us wonderful amala gbigbona with ewedu plus gbegiri and lots of soft chunky kpomo. There’s also a branch in the University of Lagos but the ‘real Olaiya experience’ is in Surul
