Hey Kenyan cousins! We are here at flavours of East Africa in San Diego
and it has made me miss Kenya so much.
We have beef stew, schuma,
wiki and ugali. But they Americanized the ugali so it's too soft.
What did you have? I had spicy jerk chicken and the rest of the same as yours
It's doesn't compare to Kenya.
It's very good, but miss it there.
And you got cuckoo,
sweet cuckoo,
coconut rice and kumwi as
well with chapati.
How does it rate from real Kenya?
Oh, can't compare,
but it's a solid eight. Pretty good.
