Unknown to A lot of people is the fact that I am a foodie. I don’t just like food, I love food! And I mean that in an aesthetic way. I love when food looks elegant, polished, inviting, it’s a sensual thing lol. If you ever meet me personally and we talk about food and I start raving about textures and flavours and fusions, pardon me, I am just enthusiastic about good food. Not plain jollof rice or swallow or even fried plantain, I am talking about good food that is created to give you an experience. So that’s why I am embarking on a food adventure this summer, I have a few restaurants in Abuja I am eager to try out and probably review. I am uber excited about it. I wonder if anyone else wants to join me or even embark on their own food adventures wherever they are. Below are a few places off my list that I hope to visit

Vanilla Abuja: I have been stalking their page for more than a year now and I think it’s high time I finally go there to eat. They have a fabulous Sunday brunch buffet that I wanna try out. I think I once saw Mongolian BBQ on the brunch menu, or was it Moroccan? I will find out

Chloe’s cupcake heaven: I know! It’s sad that I haven’t been to this amazing place which is weird because I drive by one of their branches almost weekly. Anyways, this is the summer that I shall have a bite of that red velvet cookies that I have heard so much about! I definitely have to try their gourmet popcorn and ice-cream too

Red Dish Chronicles food truck: Yaaas Boo! A food truck! I have been following Chef Stone and the progress of his culinary school since he only had his Lagos branch and I used to beg him to open a school in Abuja so I could attend. Anyways, there is a branch in Abuja now and I still haven’t attended (lol, still trying to bag this LL. B) . Good news however is that they sometimes have a food truck pop up somewhere in Abuja at random times and if it happens again this July, I will be the first in line grinning from chin to chin waiting to taste the awesomeness he and Chef Zeelicious create.


 5 star cravings: I have a sweet tooth! Like a serious one that I am very surprised that I don’t have cavities. And I cannot wait to satisfy my cravings with a box of cake pops delivered to my doorstep by the wonderful hands behind this sweet treats business.

 Waffle stop Abuja: by now you should know that I have a thing for waffles. Waffles are just pancakes that decided to out in the extra effort and look prettier and you know I love me some pancakes! So to have waffles with syrup and a variety of toppings ranging from milk chocolate to caramelized apples delivered to me wherever I am is simply something I have to do!


 Q Café Abuja: this is my newest find off of @abujaeats. Now I am a sucker for good packaging and these people have it in a bag! I don’t even think I can eat in the restaurant just because I want that beautiful black and white striped box that says “The Quarter” They have gourmet burgers and an OREO AND WHITE CHOCOLATE pancake *faints*
