Lunch at Mulago Hospital: The Good Samaritan Canteen


Local food in Uganda is pretty basic but delicious. Lunch typically consists of white rice, beans and matooke which is kind of like a starchy banana. There are a few different types of sauces to put on your rice, our favorite so far is this green sauce that tasted just like peanuts. This entire plate of food only costs about 5,000 shillings which is about $2, not bad for hospital food!





And of course, dinner is not complete with out dessert! We went to a local cafe for dinner, Cafe Javas, and were thrilled that they had free wifi AND delicious ice cream sundaes, we were in heaven. It felt like a little piece of home. After all of the hard work we did at the hospital today we deserved a little treat.
