My Foray into East African Cuisine: Two Very Different Experiences

Edmonton's Wamo Zamu Cafe (Open Late!) Came for the lamb leg - smaller than Google pics suggested but packed that authentic "lamb-y" flavor! The sauce was a perfect sweet-spicy combo for Chinese tastebuds. Standouts: 🍖 That lamb leg (funky in the best way) 🍚 The "special" fried rice ($8) - suspiciously tangy with extra-chewy grains (not for jasmine rice lovers) 🥣 Free veggie-lamb potato soup (looked dubious but tasted magical) Vibe Check: • Open till 2AM (saved us from another McDonald's run) • Boyfriend nearly walked out from the fermented smell...then cleaned his plate • Security monitors in dining room (the neighborhood's...spicy 🌶️) —— vs. —— Vancouver's Axum Restaurant (Ethiopian) 🇪🇹 The injera (sourdough flatbread) was SOUR beyond belief - ate the stews with a spoon like a rebel 🍷 Their secret "Lightbulb Wine" (staff gifted it) was ELECTRIC - like boozy bubble tea! The only reason I'd return Pro Tip: For East African newbies, Edmonton's spot eases you in with Chinese-friendly flavors. Vancouver's is the hardcore cultural immersion! #CanadianFoodAdventures #EastAfricanEats #LambLoversUnite #FermentationNation #WhenInEdmonton #NoMoreMcDonalds
