SDK reacts to waakye and shito complaints

The key, he says, lies in knowing where to look and, more importantly, who to look for.
SDK shares guide to finding authentic shito
According to the comedian, a true waakye experience begins with the location.
He said:
“Don’t waste your time in clean, glass-house restaurants. You need to find the ones run from a family home, preferably near an open gutter.”
He continued by suggesting that authentic waakye and shito vendors are usually found in areas frequented by government school students, not the "bougie" private school crowd.
The seller’s name, SDK insists, should also be a giveaway.
“If the seller’s name is something like Rakiya or Bintu, you're on the right track. No John or Kwame here!” he said.
The comedian also noted that the appearance of the seller is an important clue, as one should look out for someone who looks tired and angry.

Nigerian man tastes Waakye, gives review
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that a Nigerian man tasted Waakye for the first time and declared it better than Jollof rice.
He praised the food's flavour after adding shito, claiming the meal should be recognised as a Nigerian dish instead.
The man said waakye was underrated and more delicious than Ghana’s jollof, despite looking unusual to him.
