     Another recent addition to the restaurant's menu is 'Asun', a dish that’s made with scotch bonnet peppers and charcoaled goat meat. Again, originating in Nigeria, it’s not for the faint hearted as it's an incredible smokey and spicy dish that is usually served at parties and family gatherings.
