| Our table last Sunday |
I've found that when you live abroad you end up going to the same handful of restaurants over and over again. Usually one place in particular stands out for its caramel muffins (Swaziland) or pesto pasta (Guatemala). In Lilongwe our standout spot is Ama Khofi, a restaurant about a mile away from our house. The iced tea is heaven.
It's a cute little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking a nursery full of beautiful plants located in the Four Seasons complex, which feels like America. We go once a weekend with friends and have a delicious meal and enjoy the ambiance. On Sundays you can stay into the evening and enjoy free live music (and soccer on the big screen) at the bar next door. It still gets cool enough to wear a light sweater in the evening so its very pleasant to sit outside and enjoy the fresh evening air, live music, large beautiful trees and twinkling Christmas lights.
Last Sunday we spent a few hours at Ama playing BananaGrams with some friends (well, not me, I read a book, I HATE that game) and then watched the Chelsea v. Man U game at the bar with fifty of our most rabid friends. Not a bad Sunday, eh? Definitely a far cry from the way I spent Sundays in Swaziland.
