The second edition of The Koroga Festival took Kampala food lovers on a mouth-watering ride as “foodies” gathered together on Saturday for an exciting afternoon cookout at The Gardens in Najjeera.
The food festival attracted a large crowd of soul food enthusiasts who were gearing to show off their cooking skills as early as midday, with “food gangs” divided into groups of 10 with a mission to cook a satisfying meal.
Each party was given six kilos of goat and chicken, cooking ingredients and a crate of Tusker Lite for the day’s cookout adventure, and they soon got completely absorbed into preparing a scrumptious meal which later turned out to be a delightful afternoon of munching on tasty ‘meaty delicacies.’
“This second edition has been more interesting than the last. We witnessed the different tasty meals from the many teams that cooked and I must say, it has been a delicious experience. We are looking forward to doing this again come December,” said My Food Network’s Mark Kaheru, the organisers of the festival.
Revelers were later treated to a silent disco evening with the Almost Famous DJs on the decks.
The Koroga Festival is a popular annual event that has its roots in Kenya. Its name is derived from the Swahili word “koroga” which means “to mix” or “to stir”, and is an apt representation of all that happened on a day centered around food and drink.
