“They gave me a warm towel to clean and sanitise my hands. The eggs took a while to come, but when they did, they looked really pretty with the onion garnishing at the top. Essentially, these are two eggs that have been halved to get four pieces and mathematically it means one egg is GH₵25.”

In a separate post, the restaurant explained how they get the eggs coloured. The attendant indicated that they do not use food colour.

“I get a lot of questions about how we get our colours. No, it’s not food colouring. We use all-natural plant and water base liquids, and culinary techniques to achieve our vibrant colours.”
