The famous actor, who was flabbergasted and disappointed by the low quality of the food complained after he dipped his hand into the meal and it began to turn into powder instead of its original smooth texture.

Eddie Nartey, based in Alberta, Calgary appealed to his numerous TikTok followers to recommend a food joint in Canada that served quality Ga Kenkey, which was of the same quality as the ones prepared and sold in Ghana.

Kenkey is a traditional meal, primarily prepared in Ghana from corn dough by the Ga and Fante communities in the country. The meal is cooked until it becomes soft before it is covered with corn leaves. Kenkey can be eaten with fish, pepper, soup, okro or stew.
