First encounter with Ghanaian restaurant
My Tilapia Banku at Palace Gate Ghanaian restaurant
Compliment to A.K.A, my Ghanaian co-worker/roommate, I have my first ever African and to be more specific - Ghanaian experience. Although, I tried a couple of different food he made at home in Tampa, that was really my first encounter with such a neighborhood and genuine Ghanaian food culture for me last night. In Ghana, people traditional eat at home, but of course like every other country, restaurant became part of the new development brought by the western world. We used our hands for the meal - the way how Ghanaian meals being served and enjoyed. I loved my fried Tilapia and the Fish & Beef soup very much. YES! Fish and beef in soup together!! It was quite a new experience but I really did like it a lot, esp. I do enjoy spicy food a lot!
Ghana, a country I heard of before but had no idea of; but now, I know that they have the famous UN secretary as their global representative; also they are qualified for the World Cup finals next year in Germany (playing against USA, Czech Republic and Italy in the group stage), and I have Kobby showing me these great food, as well. I guess this is another aspect what an AIESEC trainee is looking for - culture immersion and understanding and enjoying the encounters.
