Food encounter in NYC

One of the best things we've had in the US is the fact that we had the chance to try many different types of food thanks to the people we met along the way. In NYC in particular, we had a few new encounters. Jarmo had his first ever Korean meal, plus meeting 2 gorgeous Asian babes too :-) He took it quite well when having kimchi and didn't mind the spiciness at all. Coincidentally we also had pancake breakfast with a Korean family whom we met while in New Jersey :)

We also had a chance to eat at a Nigerian restaurant thanks to Uche, Jarmo's Nigerian friend who is living and working in the city. He brought us to Brooklyn to a restaurant called Kita (which means us in Malay!). The main course comprised of fufu, a type of dough made from yam, and a choice of fish or beef or lamb with traditional Nigerian sauce. Uche said it's usually eaten with fingers. I took the fish with my fufu while blue eyes had the lamb. We had a different type of fufu, mine was dark and his was white. They tasted really good and very filling for the stomach. The boys ordered Nigerian palm drink while I had the hibiscus drink (yums!). The meal was quite an adventure and conversations at the dinner table were vibrant and entertaining. Needless to say, we had a lovely evening :)
