Tea, also grown here...
This was a different food which hit the spot on a beautiful, breezy and cool day on which I got to explore the Toi Market with some friends. On the way back we stopped at a restaurant on Ngong Road. I don't think the dish had a name, but it's apparently a specialty of this restuarant.
You can probably identify most of the ingredients, which are cooked separately and then combined on a platter. Cooked chicken, pieces of maize (corn-on-the-cob), fried plantain, fried chapatis, chips (fries), sauted red onion and deep-fried hard-boiled egg were garnished with tomato slices and coriander (as cilantro is known here). The egg had a nice crisp exterior, and the dish went nicely with accompanying chili sauce. Half-way through I gave up on the fork I had requested and just finished by eating with "the original spoon" as the proprietress commented (my fingers!). This was washed down with Krest (bitter lemon soda, not too sweet). Wonderful!
I thought the large piece was a fish head! And I've never heard of fried boiled eggs but it all looks good to me! :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, need to try the deep fried hard boiled egg.
