How To Eat Nigeria’s Fried Fish (with Garri!)

TubeMan — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 15:33:20 +0000

Nigerian food is some of the best in the world with one of the tastiest cuisines. So BattaBox finds out how to cook and eat our famous “Fried Fish And Garri”.

Firstly, coat the fresh fish in flour and deep fry so it’s in a tasty batter for about five minutes. Our street chef recommends using plenty of oil and a wood fired heat.

Make sure you can hear that delicious, mouth-watering, crackling sound.

Take a big spoon and then ladle the fried fish out of the oil. But be careful the oil is hot. Nigeria food likes plenty of oil, often palm oil. This will then soften the fried fish and bones.

Fried Fish and Garri in Nigeria used to cost between 10-20 Naira, but in the recent recession, costs have gone up to over 100 Naira. But still, most fresh Lagos street food fried fish and garri will be sold out in maybe ten minutes. Plenty of customers will come when they smell the aroma.

“I like to take two pieces of fried fish and garri because I’m a BattaBox big boy who likes his Nigeria food!” says Warri Pikin.

“Things are very hard in this country o,” says one customer who has come for his Nigeria food. “So fried fish and garri is cheap and plentiful.”

Garri is a popular Nigeria food, a staple, made from cassava flakes. To make the Garri, wash it in water or milk, and then mix with sugar.

“In the current Nigerian economy, this is normal Nigeria food!” says the customer.

Do you enjoy Nigeria food? What do you think of fried fish and Garri?

How to have an AMAZING Nigerian Party!

TubeMan — Mon, 04 Sep 2017 06:00:01 +0000

Nigerians love to party! But what do you need to put on the best Nigerian party everyone will remember?

Any excuse is good enough – we love to dress up, impress our guests, splash out on food, and be the centre of attention. So, BattaBox presenter YP Flourin headed out to the streets of Lagos to find out.

We’ve taken the best answers and put them in no particular order!

Firstly, Nigerian fashion is very, very important, with Agbadas, Geles, Aso Ebi’s, with all variety of colors. We get plenty, plenty style o!

But we always want better pass our neighbour. As one girl tells us: “I look at the other girls to see if their level pass my own.”

But, arguably more important than Nigerian fashion, is Nigerian food with plenty of pepper to spice up the party. We do not mess with our food, and at a party there is one food that rules them all – Jollof Rice!

“Jollof Rice! Sharp, sharp! Jollof Rice and meat!” says one guy to YP.

But we don’t just want to eat jollof rice, an amazing Nigerian party needs small chops, pounded yam, egusi soup, and cooked chicken.

“Food! If the rice is not sweet then I just wasted my time,” agrees one young girl.

There are all variety of types of parties in Nigeria – weddings, birthdays, cultural celebrations, even funerals often turn into parties. And other essential ingredients include:

“The Nigerian Music. The Nigerian beat!”

“The setting, I don’t care about the food, it needs to be very nice, like a fairy tale.”

“The people!”

But look out for who you invite, or who crashes your party, as one girl warns: “No ugly guys. Let me be serious. You can’t take selfies with ugly guys.”

And, as for who holds the best parties in Nigeria? Most people we asked seemed to be in agreement. The Yoruba hold the best parties.

“At Yoruba parties, you have a surplus of everything – money, aso ebi, food, and more!” says the last guy.

What do you think are the most essential ingredients to have an amazing Nigerian party? Gist us in the comments.

“Do you have a lot of suitors, toasters?…you’re pretty so you should have,” Odunayo asks Queen Edet.

“No I don’t have a boyfriend, I don’t have a fiance and I don’t want,” Queen Edet answers.

“What was the reception like wen you first started (selling crayfish)?”

“It’s good because my lecturers buy as well…I’ve already registered my company,” Queen Edet explains.

Mama Put Chronicles: Episode 1

TubeMan — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 09:15:33 +0000

We all know Nigerians LOVE food!

We can do just about anything for amala, jollof rice, efo riro and of course some mineral to wash it down in one swift motion, followed by a loud sigh accompanied by the caressing of a bursting belly.

So gobbling up the meals isn’t a problem…The question is where are the best places in Nigeria to balance well and chop?

BattaBox has decided to save you time and money by sending our in house foodie, Adeola, to various mama puts (in case you’re ajebo, a mama put is basically a bukka/roadside restaurant, where Nigerians eat lunch, breakfast and dinner) to taste the food for you.

“How can something that looks so good, taste so bad?” Adeola exclaims after sampling some jollof.

Not only does Adeola review the actual meal, she also grades the environment and the restaurant as a whole out of 10 so YOU know the places that serve the most SCRUMPTIOUS meals and the restaurants you should AVOID like the plague!

“They had a gutter there, right in front of the restaurant, that wasn’t looking nice, that was very smelly!” Adeola laments.

We hope this review was useful for you.

Two Angry Men Hold Oyinbo Tourists Captive at the Shrine

TubeMan — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 09:57:48 +0000

Two Angry Men never cease to crack me up!

Just when you think they can’t get any funnier, they surprise you by ‘kidnapping’ some unsuspecting tourists and holding them captive at the New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, Lagos.

Harry and James thought they were shocking their audience with all the surprises the Shrine holds but soon discovered that their foreign friends fit right in! They laughed and joked, ate and drank, met THE Femi Kuti and… danced the night away. They had a FANTASTIC time!

“Oyinbo people, all of them wey dey come Nigeria, they no sabi catch fun…they go go camp for Lekki, VGC, Victoria Island…” James states his reason for holding them hostage.

“So…We took them to the Mainland!” Harry adds.

“That guy (one of their foreign guests) ate asun, nkwobi, fish and chips, suya, drank almost four bottles of palm wine…he got drunker than the person selling the palm wine!” Harry recounts the fun night.

Have you ever been to the New Afrika Shrine?

Would you recommend the attraction to other tourists?
