Albacca (cassava flakes dish) is a delightful local delicacy best paired with palm wine for a romantic dinner, organized in an open quiet garden.
Well garnished Albacca (cassava flakes dish) has always been my number choice when it comes to local delicacies, not just me but my husband's as well,
You couldn't imagine the joy on his face when I told him that I was going to prepare Albacca,
He asked that I prepare it at night, as he was going to work and wouldn't enjoy it in the morning but I was craving for the dish in that morning and couldn't wait anymore .
I had to plead with him to spare me some time in the morning, so we can enjoy it together and hopefully,he accepted.
I really enjoyed the sweet, delightful dish with my husband and Below is a process of how I made it.
