FOAB Ep 1: The Meet Up
If we have mutuals, you might have seen these the day after my birthday.
Camdan!
Before you come to fight me in the DM, let me just say I DIDN’T HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY! And even if I did, it's too late to fight me...lol... but I DIDN'T.
If I did, I think I might have let you know,
trust me.
So what's the gist? Thing is, on that day, I started something new with a couple of friends. We started a ladies’ hangout around Lagos. Whoop! Whoop!
Why? One, Lagos is stressful enough. Two, wahala no dey
finish! So why wait for the ‘perfect’ time which may never come? Fink about it #Wisdom
Yup! So I reached out to a few friends because I wanted to
test the waters and quite shockingly, the response was favourable.
It was like ladies were just waiting for someone to bell the
cat. A number had to pull out because of some unexpected ish but the ones who
made it had a lot of fun. This was good cos the control experiment might have been
tough to manage if there were more people in attendance.
So on June 5th 2021 we had our first episode of
Fun on a Budget yay!!!!!!.
There was a lot of laughing, gisting, then we had a mini
photoshoot.
Our first venue was at Papiee’s Meatro in Yaba because we
all live on the mainland and contrary to pop opinion, there are actually nice
restaurants here, it’s just for us to find and explore them.
The ambience was so cool and I absolutely loved the seats we
chose.
The chair was made up of two large black tires stacked on each other and reinforced with a screw. The seat had a foamed top at the centre which both blocked the hole in the middle of the tire and cushioned the butt. The seats were placed around a wooden table and it was more comfy than it looked.
I absolutely loved the waiter, Emmanuel! He was delightfully honest and guided us on the best meals on the menu.
He also had his way with words so much that his sweet talking made us order an extra serving of a meal lol.
He made us feel at home and I love how committed he was to delivering excellent service and giving us a premium customer experience. We had to wait a very long while before we got our order but Emmanuel gifted us extra bottles of water in a bid to pacify us. We had actually thought it was on the house till he explained that it was his treat, I loved that!
The food was also really nice and filling, well at least my order was. I went for the firewood jollof with plantain, chicken and Fanta. The rice wasn’t my first choice but turned out to be equally good. The chicken was really big and tasty.
And everything goes well with Fanta although I heard the Zobo was tasty.
You might want to exhaust the rice options before going for the pasta meals but I will tell you for free that their beef, which was our appetizer, is really scrumptious and affordable, you should try that as well.
Enjoy this 1 min 45 seconds video I put together to capture this experience. It was a lot of work lmao! I salute video editors 😅 so y'all should go see it here
Till next time!
Bye ya!
