Amala that cost 6,500 Naira per plate causes internet frenzy

Social media has been thrown into a frenzy after photos of a plate of amala and ewedu soup being sold for a whooping N6,500 at a restaurant in Lagos surfaced.

One of the major reasons the Yoruba delicacy pair popularly known as amala and ewedu is accepted nationwide is its delicious taste. The second reason is the fact that it is relatively affordable and can be easily gotten anywhere.

Well, it is either there is an alien invasion or capitalism has claimed the better part of some people’s brain because a certain Lagos restaurant known as Warehouse Kitchen, for some reasons have decided to put a ridiculously high amount on the popular amala and ewedu meal as each plate goes for N6,500.

The photos were shared by a Twitter user identified as @The_Florentyna who simply wrote:

“Amala. Warehouse kitchen. 6,500.”

In all of the this, the question on the lips of almost everyone is; what kind of people would actually pay N6,500 for a plate of amala and ewedu. Perhaps the likes of DJ Cuppy and her billionaire father would probably see no problem splashing such an amount on a plate of the local delicacy.
