I've now had Puff Puff prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises locust beans dawadawa in the way suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots.

Puff Puff at this place was fine. The spicy and bold flavour was there but not distinguished. crayfish powder was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference.
