Two words, DIDI’S DINING. Moving to a different country isn’t always easy, let alone a whole other continent. I mean at first It’s thrilling and fun with all the new experiences and encountering new people and cultures and all but if you’re anything like me, it won’t be long before the thoughts of home food will start to haunt you. This was my reality by December of my first year where I was just constantly craving Nigerian food. It’s not like I can’t cook. I definitely can. Chef Chioma all the way. But there’s just something about that home food made by an aunty if not by mommy directly and what I wanted the most was a bowl of ogbono with assorted meats and some pounded yam that I would fully take to with my hands. I wanted some asun (goat meat) or suya. After research and research, I found Didi’s Dining. Didi’s Dining is an authentic African & Caribbean restaurant here in Norwich and you can find everything from Jollof, to Gizdodo, to Jerk Chicken & ...

One of my favourite summer pastimes? Having a picnic by Norwich castle! As these picnics are often spontaneous (depending on the weather), we like to go to Loving Hut to take away some yummy vegan food! It is run by a friendly family from Guangzhou and located close to Norwich castle grounds. When people think of vegan food, they sometimes think it might be boring but Loving Hut has definitely proved me, a carnivore, wrong. For about the same price as a pint, you can tuck into a buffet of spring rolls, noodles, fried rice, vegetables with tofu, curry, vegan sushi, fruit, sweetcorn and fairycakes. And now it's offically Autumn and starting to get a little too wet and windy...but I reckon I'll still be getting my spring rolls and curry here :) For a map of how to get to Loving Hut, click here http://www.lovinghut.co.uk/norwich.html
