A Rich Igbo Tradition
In many West African tribes, yam is both a staple and a symbol of prosperity. Every year, the Igbo people celebrate a successful yam harvest at the end of the rainy season. This is one of the most revered cultural traditions carried out in the Southeastern part of Nigeria.
For ICSN’s event, Ellesu gave 100 guests an incredible feast featuring a classic roasted yam dish to commemorate the New Yam Festival.
An Unforgettable Menu
As an expert in Nigerian cuisine, Ellesu was enlisted by the ICSN to help share the beauty of Igbo culture and heritage, and the catering company delivered!
Alongside classic yam dishes, the menu offered an eclectic, unforgettable array of Nigerian snacks and desserts, including 150 small chop pouches, puff-puff cups in cinnamon sugar, oreo, and powdered sugar flavors, white chocolate drizzle, and buns. All dishes were sourced from the local markets to guarantee their freshness and quality.
Their spokesperson said, “Guests raved about Ellesu Restaurants’ puff-puff cups, particularly the cinnamon sugar flavor, proclaiming them to be the best they’ve ever tasted.”
As part of the welcome slot of the event, the Ellesu team also made sure the food was restocked and maintained high health and quality standards throughout the evening.
