You are so wonderful Precious you know. My first daughters name is Precious and I love you so much because of your generosity . I wish I could talk with you on whatapp.
Thank you so much dear. Hi to your sweet girl
saliving now not fair
It's amazing how Nigerian and Cameroonian foods share similarities. I was so shocked about the Ekwang dish because this same delicacy is called 'Ekpang Kukwo' by the Efiks in Nigeria. Tempting delicacies. Welldone.

U are so right, Bubu. I must add that the Cameroonian entire name of the dish is Ekwang Coco(yam). Decades ago, I was on a business tour in Enugu. When I was presented with Ekwang Coco, I wrongly assumed my Hosts were trying to bring me some memories back from Cameroon SW or LT! Yet, when I learn it was local dish too, I was still so grateful.
So many Thx Sis
I know right, Bubu? Ekwang is basically the same thing as Ekpang Kukwo. We are so similar!
You froget okongobong, tanchot soup. In fact we get chop man whey deny na yi sabi 15 is just a start. Good job sis keep putting 237 on the map.

I went to a Cameroonian wedding last Saturday and I was so excited to try the food as I love trying new food. I tried the jollof rice, it's very different from Nigerian jollof but it tastes really good as well. There was some ndole as well but I didn't try some cos I didn't know what it was . Later, a woman explained what it was to me but I was leaving so I couldn't try it. Great post and thank you for your comment! xx

Cameroon really is blessed with delicious food. I went to Limbe for a wedding years ago but still remember how fresh and tasty all the food was. Soooooo good. I haven't tried most of these 15 dishes so I'm very glad to have discovered your blog! (I came here from Bella Naija.)
Now I want to go cook some Jollof. I'm sure you would have loved Ndole if you tried it. Thanks for stopping by, dear!
Hi Daddy's girl, so glad to meet you!!
Do you remember the names of the meals you ate in Limbe?
Thanks for stopping by, dear! Hope you come around more often.
Hi Precious, I remember eating some delicious and delectable grilled fish, and also some amazing vegetable soup (not sure of the name) and of course some yummy Cameroonian jollof. Your blog is excellent, I'm enjoying it.
Okay I see. Glad you enjoyed your Cameroonian dining experience!
Thanks for your comment on the blog, sweetie.
great food. where do you think i can get/taste this in and around chicago?
Hi Selva, so sorry for the late response. I really don't know if there's a Cameroonian restaurant around Chicago. You could Google it and see what you come up with.
