Barbeque Nation hosts Africa Magica

Africa Magica’ is an African food festival that offers patrons a chance to experience the magic of the mysterious and feral Africa. Signature dishes include Jollof Rice– a popular West African dish containing African rice, tomatoes, onions, spices, cumin and hot red pepper; Tanzanian Shabbat Fish – a traditional fish delicacy made with a blend of Mediterranean spices and olive oil; and PiriPiri Tangdi – PiriPiri (African Bird's Eye Chilli) Chicken, which is the most famous barbequed preparation from Africa’s Mozambique region.

Food lovers can also taste wide variety of vegetarian dishes like Butternut and Shallot Soup – a velvety rich creamy soup laced with golden fried shallots, with chilli peppers that bring out the rich, nutty flavour of the pumpkin perfectly; Mixed Vegetables in Adobo Sauce – raw vegetables soaked in a stock of paprika, oregano, salt, garlic and vinegar that preserve and enhance the flavour. For dessert, sample the Malwa Pudding – a sweet dish containing apricot jam and served with hot custard and ice-cream.
