Gedogirl,

Did you have any of those infamous sardines in Kenya ? Salty but good.

Now, now X.Playa, you're not adhering to your own rules. You said no more one-liners.

Abdi,
I went fishing for them once...good fun, but I hated the smell...I never knew that how fishy some fish could smell. I really want some pweza cooked in coconut milk and tomatoes and chilli...wow that was the best food I've had the whole time I was there.

GedoGurl,

I had an uncle who made a roaring trade in Kingfish that he would catch in Hobyo and ship down to Kenya and Tanzania.

There is this family in Zanzibar, I think they are Hawiye...did you have any relatives living in Zanzibar in the Shark industry by any chance? I know it sounds like a silly question, but you may know them its a small Island after all.

Enough with this Masi talk, lets get back to fish & chips.

Sheikh Farax, it was blip.

Gedogurl,

No, but I did meet some Somalis in Shingani, wasn't sure if they are the same family.

Loool @ Masi.....and we cant talk fish and chips as you have proven that you have zero standards

Says the lady that eats Kenyan food. Wasn't served in China plates, I bet.

Have you ever been to Nairobi? Or Zanzibar? This is where I ate the famous Pweza (Octopus) China plates no...Hygiene..big time, and I knew the boss man and wife...nothing like your dirty basement greasy spoons up norf

GedoGurl,

Nothing beats eating fresh seafood at Furudani with your summer love while catching the sea breeze.

They changed Forodhani now though...Aga Khan really invested in it but it lost its style and no locals hang out there anymore. I heard you can only stand or sit on the Barazas. No more summer loving night time pic nics in the dark places under the trees

PB - whats the most exotic food you have ever eaten?

Status Update:

Nai is on the search for the perfect lipstick colour

I want this VV shade....MAC here I come!

GedoGurl,

Negative darling, you were misinformed, locals go to it, its cleaned up really nice. There are a tab bit too many hippy Scandinavian chicks but otherwise its nice.

There is this wonderful pilaf/biriyani joint next to the Port. Excellent food and it cost only $10 for 3 people.

Have you been to the Spice plantations ? Its beautiful. I miss Zanzibar and want to go to Pemba/Mafia & Pangani next time

Thats what some locals were saying, I bet its not buzzing as it used to.

The best place for Pilau is Luqmaans restaurant, near the big baobab tree not far from Jaws Corner, it might even be cheaper than where you just mentioned too...gorgeous food. Ive been to the plantations a couple of times, first time Ive ever seen any spice growing, Ive yet to go to Jozani forest though. Where you there recently?
