Signature Dishes at Amanda Resort
1. Ugali and Sukuma Wiki
A staple in Kenyan households, ugali (maize meal) served with sukuma wiki (collard greens) is a simple yet satisfying dish. At Amanda Resort, we elevate this classic with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a touch of creativity.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Authentic flavors that connect you to the local culture.
- Perfectly paired with nyama choma or fish stew for a hearty meal.
2. Fish Delights from Lake Victoria
With Kakamega located near Lake Victoria, we bring the freshest tilapia to your plate. Grilled, fried, or prepared in a savory coconut curry, our fish dishes are a must-try.
Chef’s Recommendation: Pair our grilled tilapia with a side of kachumbari (a tangy tomato and onion salad) for a burst of flavor.
3. Luhya Traditional Chicken Stew
Experience the rich, slow-cooked goodness of ingokho, a traditional chicken stew that’s a hallmark of Luhya cuisine. Made with free-range chicken, indigenous spices, and served with matoke (plantain), this dish is both comforting and delicious.
Fun Fact: Ingokho is often prepared during celebrations and special occasions in the Luhya community.
4. Sweet Treats: Mandazi and Kenyan Chai
No meal is complete without a sweet finish. Our mandazi (Kenyan doughnuts) served with spiced chai is a delightful way to end your culinary journey.
Pro Tip: Enjoy these treats on our terrace overlooking the lush Kakamega landscape.
