Today our first visit was to Rwandan born, Nina Bola,
film production assistant living in the leafy Nairobi suburb Kilimani. Nina
cooked two of her specialties for us -a fish dish DRC style- her father is
Kikongo;

and a plantain and bean dish called
Ibitoki ni bi Harage from her mother’s homeland
Rwanda.

Nina introduced us to a pungent thing smelling amavuta y’inga. It is a
type of fermented butter from fresh cows milk we hadn’t gotten to the bottom of
it yet- so any Rwandese out there that know more please comment. It is a dish
favoured by the Tutsis of Rwanda. Whilst cooking, Nina explained to us that Maggi
stock cubes were definitely a favorite ingredient- way superior to any other
brands on sale!
Our afternoon stop took us to Nairobi’s colourful
Ngara market, where I was offered all sorts of colourful wares including a
Kenyan husband!

We ended the evening with our whole team, eating traditional Kenyan food. Good!
Ingmar is soooo lovely we will definitely try find her a kenyan husband.
