The way Lagosians look forward to December will leave you in awe. I can’t really explain the happiness it brings, probably because of the meals, outings and the fun it comes with. For some, December is the month they are able to eat whatever they could not eat throughout the year while for others it is that time of the year set aside to visit fancy restaurants. You think you know beautiful meals like Fried Rice? Read this.

Why spend 83k in a restaurant when you can just cook your meal and spend way less than that amount. This December is going to be amazing because I will be dropping recipes of my favourite meals and will definitely back it up with how to cook them.

How to cook Fried rice:
