The Foodie Diary - May - August 2019

My plan was to post this on the 31st of August so at least there would've been something new on the blog for that month. But then my table got swamped with lotsa work and you know, 'adulting' happens sometimes.
Anyhu, we move!

Alrighty! I'll be kicking this month off with another round of pretty much the best section of the blog. Yep. Y'all 'guessed' right...it's the Foodie Diary! Ayyyy! *doing the Milly rock*

In the past three months, I have consumed quite a number of yummy meals and here they all are on a virtual platter. Bon appetit!

24th - 31st May

24:05:2019 - Chocolat Royale

This was pay day, aka 'Treat yo'self day' because #YOLO

25:05:2019 - Bread Lounge

A random Saturday brunch out with the girls.

This frozen chocolate latte was the ish. Just the RIGHT amount of coffee and chocolate.

25:05:19 - The Warehouse Kitchen

At my colleague-turned-friend's send forth.

The shrimp pasta tasted so good, I was legit traumatized when it finished. *sniff*

21st - 27th June

21:06:19 - Chocolat Royale

One of the few days my (again) colleagues-turned-friends and I hung out after work. Reason being it was an all-expense paid dinner courtesy of Bode B. *big grin*

Tutsie's dish...

Bode B's...

BluBlu's (The Pasta Queen of course)...

And yours truly :)

Downed mine down with this oh-so-filling mango smoothie.

You can never go wrong with a mango drink IMO.

26:06:19 - Sooyah Bistro

Ain't nobody going to tell me nothing about not going back to get me more of this suya burger.

I had no idea how I ate it all without taking even one picture of it. It was THAT good guys.

27:06:2019 - Roma

Background story:

So I helped a very good friend of mine design a logo for his start-up. And when he got his first client he offered to take me out as a 'thank you' gesture. 

This was my first time here, thanks to him, cause I never even knew it existed.

We shared this platter but I'm pretty sure I ate much more than he did (obvs).

One of THE best platters I have had in a long time. And don't get me started on those chicken nuggets.

6th - 11th July

06:07:19 - Soso's Residence

BluBlu and I went visiting our 'sister', SoSo.

Girl served us some good ol' banga soup and eba. *licks fingers*

11:07:19 - Smokey Bones

I passed an exam in one sitting and this was a celebratory meal courtesy of my friend.

Yet another free meal. Who no like AWOOF? *hehe*

This comprised of pork ribs, potato salad, plantain and a cup cake of some sort (for some weird reason I can't remember what it's called) and a bottle of fresh juice, all for a very affordable price. 

Quite impressive for a restaurant located on the island.

14th - 28th Aug

Most of you guys will know by now that my birthday was last month. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary that day, so I decided to take some days off the following week to give myself a well deserved treat. And when I say treat, you know food HAS to be involved.

14:08:19 - ColdStone Creamery

I have been meaning to try this Freak Shake for over a year, and I just had to include it on my 

'To Eat' list.

People kept staring at me at the restaurant cause it was so huge! 

Fun fact: One of the perks of being a skinny foodie is that you get to eat humongous amounts of food in public without feeling any ounce of guilt.

Yep. Score!

15:08:19 - Bread Lounge

One of the treats I gave myself was a massage and facial session at Indy Spa. 

And then this meal was bought right afterwards. #Bliss 

16:08:19 - The Warehouse Kitchen

We planned yet another send forth for yet another colleague-turned-friend of mine that same week.

Puuurfect timing.

BluBlu channeling her inner Salt Bae.

21:08:19 - Michelle's Cafe

Faaam! This burrito blew my taste buds away! It was so heavenly! *weeps tears of joy*

I actually had to check out the chef's page on Instagram and duff my hat to her on there.

23:08:19 - Breakfast King

Like a friend of mine called it - 'Pap that went to London'

For just 500 naira. PERE! 

This has more often than not been my go-to breakfast at work since then.

Worth every 'penny'.

 28:08:19 - Sosa's Patisserie

I present to you, the best chocolate chip banana bread in the Lagos Metropolis. 

FYI, this was baked by my 'sister' who made that bangin' banga soup. And nope, this is not a sponsored nor a bias review guys. True story.

 Just take a look at all that yumminess... 

*drools*

NB: A freelance photographer, Adeniyi, approached me at a wedding in May and asked me to have a photo shoot session at Elegushi beach so he could add the pictures to his portfolio. Luckily for me, it was done a week before my birthday! So you could say it was pretty much a birthday photo shoot...for FREEEE! *big grin*

Here's a sneak peek :)
