I bet everyone is wondering what this is made of and for the food specialist, make a date with the locals of this small town. I will be heading to Mombasa over the weekend and I have to get to know more about this. I will let you know. Anyone willing to join me?

And also fascinating, yes tell us all about it when you get back! Was at our coastal town of Mombasa and went to see the new menu in town. was suprised to see big bones on peoples plates and when I inquired further, I was told that it was just a name. it is the branding that is driving people to buying and taking this soup. It is just but made from beef. The locals are praising the soup and claim that it is good and improves libido in male, and helps to replenish blood.
