finally the waiting time was 45 minutes and why not we had ordered 3 different meals..Edikang ikong and gari for me.. my second best second only to afang soup. 2 had ordered white soup and pounded yam but i think they had poundo. and the other two egusi soup. Have not mentioned their swallow because i have forgotten. we had initially a jug of chilled Paln wine served in coconut shell cups. never seen such novelty ever and it was worth it. did I say the Palm wine was very very cold? well some of us are still tipsy since.

After waiting like for ever, the meal arrived . . not exactly that way ... the table mats first then the water for washing hands. when 2 of us demanded knives and forks, fork and spoons were brought then knives as if delibratly spaced to kill time. Ok the food finally came and the table was quiet every one to himself and the palm wine and a bottle of wine for our lady (and I). In all we had 3 jugs of Palm wine and a bottle of wine.

the meal .. yes it was satisfactory...worth the wait. I personally finished my 2 balls of garri. others ? not sure if they did justice to theirs but no one complained. well not load enough. The guy who picked up the bills probably did but in his mind I didn't even see the bills but the waiter was on him bumper to bumper. I had to insist he gives him space to transfer the money. he had to deposit his phone number and name on the bills incase the transfer failed.
