See the food I've been planning to cook since, but will be considering the time it consumed when preparing it. You have really done well by analyzing the step by steps procedure in making Ekpang nkukwo, it the best delicacy for AkwaCross.
As you have said already that you rarely see it in the restaurant and if you're opportunity to see it there, it will be more expensive to get a plate.
Please my sister next time you're cooking this try and invite me your house. Success to you on your post.
