In the video she shared on her page, the 40-year-old veteran Ghanaian actress beamed with excitement as she went to the kitchen to eat fufu, a pounded meal made from cooked cassava and plantain, for the first time in her life.
Yvonne, looking gorgeous in her short-sleeve top and a patterned skirt, humbly held a white bowl as she observed the chef pound fufu with her pestle inside a mortar.
She complemented her beautiful look with various bracelets on her wrists.
The actress was served the meal with soup and appeared to struggle at first, relying on a fork to eat the traditional Ghanaian meal at the restaurant.
Yvonne later ditched the fork and instead used her hand before giving a positive review of the food after eating it for the first time.

Yvonne Nelson's trip to the Peduase Valley Resort comes over a month after she rode a trotro to Kantamanto in the Greater Accra Region.
In a video shared to her Instagram page on February 2, 2026, the actress was seen dressed casually with a scarf over her head to mask her identity as she went out for a visit to Kantamanto.

According to Yvonne Nelson, she wanted to relive some childhood experiences, which informed her decision to go out to Kantamanto and also to climb a trotro, which is a public transport bus.
With the iconic 2000s hiplife track "Ayekoo" by Okra Tom Dawidi and Tinny playing in the background, the actress climbed into a trotro and stormed the Kantamanto market, where she interacted with market women before eventually meeting a group of young guys selling secondhand clothes.
Yvonne Nelson’s visit to Kantamanto Market stirred heartwarming reactions online, with many social media users praising her for being down-to-earth and relatable.
