Some Ghanaian friends have sparked wild reactions on social media after it emerged that they spent GH¢1,000 on waakye in Ho, the capital of the Volta Region.

The narrations continued that the particular waakye (a popular Ghanaian dish made from rice and beans) they craved was not sold in Accra, hence the decision to travel some 163.1 km to the capital of the Volta Region to get it.
The friends, two males and two females, said they arrived in Ho late, so they decided to lodge in a hotel for the night until the next morning when they proceeded to their favourite waakye joint.

In the video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, the friends claimed they spent GH¢1,000 on four packs of waakye.
The joint they went to was branded Fafa's Special Waakye and the queue, as spotted in the video, indicated why people travelled near and far to taste it.
Their waakye was served with gari, salad, spaghetti, sausage, meat, fish, and eggs, with delicious tomato stew and shito sauce toppings.
Netizens were in disbelief
When the video emerged online, many people were perplexed as to what in God's name would make anyone spend GH¢1,000 on waakye, one of the most affordable meals in Ghana.

Umaru Sanda buys GH¢55 waakye only to open it and see scanty meal
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Umaru Sanda, a famous Ghanaian journalist, bought waakye that cost GH¢55 but was disappointed.
The food appeared scanty and it did not seem to be of enough quality to cost that amount.
Social media users backed Sanda's sentiments while others suggested great waakye joints he could try.
