Abula; The full Amala combination - Imagine traveling over 150KM just for a plate of this.

I have been privileged to taste this at four (4) different cities[Ibadan, Lagos, Ogun, Osun], and over ten (10) different restaurants[including Iya Abula, White house, Amala sky etc] and I have come to the following conclusions;

  1. Yes, a plate of Abula taste great
  2. Yes, it is popular in South-west Nigeria
  3. Yes, a good plate of Abula deserves to be traveled for.
  4. No, a good plate shouldn't cost more than a Dollar ($1) - 400 Naira
  5. No, a non-Yoruba person shouldn't be the cook (No tribalism intended)
  6. No, don't use any other soup to eat Amala. These are the only acceptable soups - Gbegiri(Beans soup), Ewedu(Black soup), Ata(Pepper)
  7. For perfection, USE YOUR WASHED-HANDS TO EAT!

I still need to know what makes Amala special. - The soup combination? The overrating? The taste? Or did I just waste money traveling so far for a plate? @oluwabori can you help me answer? or members from @stach will help out?

What food do you think is as over-rated as Amala?
