An almost carbon copy of ‘Apples’ further up the same street, ‘Crunchies’ is slightly more recently built and a little more stylish. It has followed the same interior design ethos as Apples with its eye-burning mixture of yellows, orange and greens. It also has the same small bookstand; this time within the store and containing an even more surreal selection — ‘Hitler’s Secret Book by Adolf Hitler’ for example!
It’s got a very similar menu and pricing to Apples (Nigerian staples, rice yams, chicken and grilled fish), but the food is more appealing and the range is slightly larger. My charcoal grilled chicken was excellent, and the Ofada rice wrapped in banana leaf was a tasty accompaniment.
Rather than the popcorn counter in Apples, here there is an ice cream bar, a real blessing for those sweating in traffic or walking up from the nearby botanic gardens. It’s also a short walk to the Mary Slessor roundabout, which features a large sculpture of the Scot who devoted her life to improving the life of twins in the country.
