The Bukka - an update on Abuja restaurants and fast food centres

One of my favourite restaurants in Abuja is THE BUKKA at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel. The food is a combination of Nigerian and continental dishes. I think this is the place where you can have the best Nigerian buffet in town - with a wide variety of choices, including the meanest pepper soup in the whole of Abuja... and I mean it literally burns your mouth! 

Bukka is actually a local term which means 'roadside restaurant.' So anything you want to eat in a roadside restaurant, you can find it at THE BUKKA.  

The ambience is great and the waiters/waitresses are very courteous and friendly. It's expensive though, at 6,500 naira per person, excluding drinks. But it's worth it.

More on ASOHOM...

Below are photos taken of the ASOHOM INTERNATIONAL CHARITY BAZAAR in 2009, 2010, and 2011. I also had photos taken during the 2008 bazaar at the Hilton, but my laptop was stolen and all the pics were gone. Here in Abuja, I've had my laptop stolen at least 3 times (L.O.L.), twice at my former flat in Wuse and the other at the parking lot of the Transcorp Hilton. I still love Abuja notwithstanding....
