I eat at all these pretty frequently

1. Laughing Buddha – Indian fusion!
2. Clarice Guest House – really good matokes and fried beans
3. Tich Nam – authentic Kenyan food
4. Mama Tracy’s – also very authentic, though may not be vegetarian friendly
5. Java House – I’m sad to list this, because Java House is a chain (like Starbucks) but they have really good breakfast sandwiches and smoothies

I was in Nariobi for a week and decided to splurge on eating out.

Maybe we’ll add these to Harry’s list when he’s tried them.

Treating myself to a Stoney Tangawizi today.

I usually don’t like carbonated drinks, but this one ain’t bad.

I decided to make chili the other day.

As I was collecting the ingredients, I realized chili is basically kachumbari and githeri boiled together.

It’s neat how tomatoes, onions, and beans are universal.

We got a jackfruit from the market.

Golly it was smelly. They’re definitely the greener cousins of durians.

Sean, Hyunjin, and I went to the market today and I got some sweet bananas.

These are just little compared to regular bananas.

Sean says they taste much better, but I don’t think they’re any different.

They have jam jar and paneer pizza here!

Jar jam is one of the few wines I like and the paneer pizza rivals Tasty Subs and Pizza in California.

I feel so at home!
