You never eat moimoi elewe be dat (the one wrapped in leaf)


Or moimoi elemi meje (7 spirit moimoi = moimoi with diced beef, fish, chicken, egg, Orisirisi etc )

Okpa tastes bland

There's a reason I don't use the word okpa,

I say enugu okpa, ikom okpa , if it's not done properly by an igbo woman I don't eat it,

Okpa is wonderful and yeah compared to moi moi I love it.

But nit everyone can prepare okpa or is qualified to.
Anyone who says it's bland has not had the opportunity to eat enugu okpa,

When I first ate okpa in CBQ it was the last time

Moi- moi is great, and there has been a lot improvements.

Enugu ọkpa remains the best ọkpa so far, the journey that moi- moi has been through ọkpa is yet to start.

If both are cooked using the basic ingredients (palm oil, pepper, Maggi seasoning, salt and crayfish) ọkpa wins. But the upgrades that moi- moi has experienced makes it more sumptuous.

I think Enugu folks should find a way to make ọkpa more interesting for non-Igbo folks.

Okpa is tasteless tbvh ,only good thing is that, it's filling .
You can eat it in the morning and not get hungry till late evening but for taste ,it's Zero and bland.

I'll only eat it to 'hold belle' ,I won't eat it when I have another option.

Moi moi for me ooo. Especially if there's egg inside it. Okpa is a no. It's actually bland to me; no flavour, just a deep orange colour.

God bless you.
I used to like okpa.

By the time I started frequenting Enugu and tasted the real goodness of okpa, I don’t eat okpa anywhere if not in Enugu state.

There’s tastiness in that blandness…

Moimoi is more flavourful than okpa especially the ones made in leaves. The only thing okpa has over moimoi is that it holds the stomach for much longer

Yeah.

Okpa is more of a meal by itself.
