RUNNING A LOCAL RESTAURANT SELLING TRADITIONAL GHANAIAN FOOD | GHANAIAN CHOP BAR
I spent the day with Millicent, previously featured in a video where she sold popular Ghanaian street food. She has since moved on to start her own local restaurant popularly known as chop bar in Ghana. She shares with us her recipes, her struggles and the ins and out so far of running her restaurant.

[@JasmineAmaa]

Restaurant is located in Tema community 11 opposite Methodist secondary school. You can contact Millicent here [phone]

[@ssenna6225]

The fish that Millicent's dad is frying is called anchovies(sun dried anchovies). It is used for 'abobi/bobi tadi' (a.k.a. keta school boys)

[@johnkojopoku7870]

Jasmine you're really doing a great job as a social worker for bringing these hard working youth to the limelight. I watched the previous kelewele video.

[@lawrentiahawkson120]

Hello jasmine how u doing I just watch the video and I'm so happy about her so I took her number and I called her and talk to her and send her 500 gh

[@eddiesengola4491]

Thanks Jasmine.

[@JasmineAmaa]

@@lawrentiahawkson120 so sweet 🤗❤️

[@DomTVGHHD]

Hey shout to Milli's Dad for supoorting her daughter. God bless him too

[@albertamartin1750]

Millicent's cooking area is so clean 😋, I wish her nothing but the best. 🥰🤑

[@Mira_Moves]

Exactly. I'm so glad someone noticed.

[@tazmanianbeats.2554]

Hi Jas, this is Taz. I would like to pay her rent of the stall ($25/mo) for 1 year. My only ask from you is to assure me you will assist Milicent in obtaining all the legal requirements for her restaurant. Milicent can then save her money for the rent and invest it into her business. Hard work such as hers must be rewarded! Let me know how to proceed pls? Good job! 👍

[@ShayTBD]

This is commendable...

[@Jade-ml2ng]

Is there a go fund me so that we can all contribute to Millicent fixing her store and just to generally help her out at such a hard time? She definitely has a passionate to cook and to own her own business. She works very very hard. A thanks from us so that she sees your international fans all notice and support her! :)

[@JasmineAmaa]

All donation info is in description box, do add note ‘Millicent’ to any donations u make xx

[@myrtisallotey8928]

She needs machines to help her mix.

[@adwarko]

She needs to get storage and buy in bulk. Thats the key to selling food. Otherwise, the profit margin will be minimal. Pray all goes well for her. Better days ahead my sister

[@akosuayeboah8261]

Support her financially

[@trudyblessed701]

Also, she should focus on making one or two dishes for now, since it’s a small business. That’ll also help her make some profit or at least break even until the business becomes bigger.

[@theskilledmrsmum]

Electricity in Ghana isn't stable so buying in bulk is very risky

[@missghanastella]

Millicent is such a hard working woman establishing her cooking business all by herself. I will surely check out her restaurant when I'm in Ghana. Congrats to her! Thank you Jasmine for continuing to follow her journey

[@dolapotemitope1552]

This woman is extremely hard working. I will love to support her in my own little way. Thank you so much jasmine.

[@0tismadaline]

Wow she is doing well for herself, am glad she didn't misuse the money and made something great out of it

[@godfreyoseibonsuapraku8766]

What a humility on the part of those who donated but doesn't want to be known.

[@naaniyenllcuisine4201]

That is how it should be. It was great on her part to acknowledged them

[@vidashkitchen5833]

She is doing very well and the way she cooks is very clean.

[@ceciliadavies2456]

AGREED!

[@gglewis1718]

Wow, she's such a hard working person and Job well done to her.👏🏾👏🏾she should keep up the hard work and never give up. Beginning of everything is not easy but it's will soon pay off for her in jesus name. 🙏🏾🥰🥰🥰 Big Job well done Jasmine, for the light you shine on many to showcase what they do to the rest of the world.👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤stay bless hun🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗

[@JasmineAmaa]

❤️

[@Mindbodysoultv01]

Maybe she can train a younger person like an internship for reduced pay. She needs more help. I had this same problem in America I was doing everything alone. I wish I was coming to Ghana now I could volunteer for free to learn how to cook more traditional dishes. I make red stew I learned from Nigerians she made it the same way. Her food looks very delicious

[@jamessitati7396]

Africa is so connected, in Kenya we make something similar to baka baka, its called ugali and its made using corn or what we locally maize flour. Thanks Jasmine for always making us hungry.

[@miss_pearl]

Yes, what you call Ugali is pap here in the south. I didn't know its in west Africa too, just knew its in Kenya and the Southern countries.

[@faridaagot8691]

Wait! Is that omena? The Luo in me😜

[@shinyvalley5145]

@cincinnati my city Yesssss omena we call it keta schoolboys or abobi, that is my favorite fish in Kenya

[@eyedgaf4955]

The subtitles are fine, people just like to complain about minor things. Glad to see the sister leveled up, I believe she will see profits soon.

[@kehindeemiabata4032]

Im impressed Jasmine with your dedication in bringing good content to your subscribers, so much so that you woke up early hours of the morning to deliver this content... well done.

[@lmroselle]

She seems to have the most advanced kitchen setup out of all your videos. That food looked incredible. I wish her success.

[@Hadass32]

Blessings to you jasmine, God will surely continue to bless you.

[@jamessitati7396]

Its really good to see Millicent's dad helping out.

[@wandajackson5689]

This is PURE homemade cooking! Clean, tasty and caring! She doesn’t charge enough! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@kehindeemiabata4032]

She does. If she were to sell any higher people wouldnt buy. Shes selling to a specific target market... this is street food. The prices are the same everywhere. If she went higher people will find somewhere else to go.

[@wandajackson5689]

Kehinde Emiabata : I understand the financial dynamics BUT I also know her food is so well prepared she could edge up some (may lose a few but a solid core and more would remain)!

[@nanahammond7068]

She can definitely charge more to the right clientele. I agree. If only she can market herself well.

[@constancebell8146]

I love a great follow up!! Millicent has the sweetest disposition and voice!! I wanted to buy all of her food just because!! Thank you Jasmine!!

[@josephelliot722]

She's doing well for herself so proud of her,please update us more am learning alot

[@SuperFoodParents]

So you start the video with Millicent cooking, you describe the delicious aromas, you taste & smile all the way through until you're overfed & grinning & you don't event offer to DHL us a plate?!😄Fine, I'm coming to Ghana, she is amazing👍🏼💖

[@JasmineAmaa]

🤣🤣 u just have to come 💕

[@godfreyoseibonsuapraku8766]

I am very much impressed. Millicent is a hard working lady, getting up before 3 am to prepare meals to sell . That is the time sleep is sweet and in the past only thieves used to wake up at that time .

Godfrey you are so funny i had to laugh, but thats so true

wooow well done Millicent!! your meals looks so delicious and inviting. Your strength is so unique. I am really impressed. This vlog is really inspiring,thanks Ama

[@dinewithsue6793]

Wow 3AM! May God flourish her business! I love how she took advantage of people blessing her👏🏽👏🏽 Cooking isn’t easy, she needs to make good profit but also because she’s just starting that may be why she isn’t seeing profit. But she also needs to calculate her expenditure for individual ingredients and then add to that

[@Kinngdela]

The dad helping her out is the best. Big ups

[@miketee4471]

Definitely made us all hungry with this video Jasmine! 😀 Great to see this lovely lady again...not surprised to see that she's doing well. Her work ethic is fantastic!

I thought I hard wrong the Cat meat part, is it true? Or she was just joking? Coz that food looks delicious 😋

[@graceattipoe5471]

U did not hear wrong my dear. If u come to Ghana and u are given a meat Called Joseph then it’s cat meat

[@akuaafriyie9753]

@@graceattipoe5471 lol I heard that when I came to Ghana 3 year's ago

[@raconte-moialice9509]

People in the northern part of my country (Gabon) eat cat meat too.

[@thewholeworldisbeautiful]

I'm a vegan I don't eat any animal products. But if you're going to eat meat what's the difference between cow pig chicken cats and dogs fish they're all living animals, it blows my mind when people freak out about people eating one animal that they consider a pet they're people who have pet pigs who have pet cows who have pet fish. I'm not one to preach about my veganism anymore although I don't think we need animal products to survive if you're going to eat animals why are some off limits.

[@jukukwakuattionu5080]

Really want to see Millicent win! I remember from the Kelewele

Every beginning is not easy but I can see sister millisent is a passionate cook and the way Jasmine is testifying about her food she will make it big.. God bless millisent daddy for his help.

Millicent has such amazing energy and determination to please her customers. After all that hard work she didn't even look tired. All she needs is a little finance so she can hire some help and she will be well on her way. Jazz you look so tired go get some rest God bless and thanks for sharing.👍🏾❤

Ugghhh smiling from ear to ear😁 so proud of her taking that step to open a business of her own👏🏽👏🏽☄ Jas you are very dedicated because at 3 am, I'd honestly be sleep walking 😂 Also, in the beginning I heard cat meat and thought you made a mistake but watching it further, I realized it's literally a cat🐈. That had me shook😣 I am so jealous of that foood you're eating, it looks tasty. My tummy is growling😭 This was a great video. So much to comment on, learn and add to my bucket list☄🤗

[@adwoagyabaah9227]

The restaurant business scene is not easy at all. I had my aunt who gave up after a year and she was even a well-established person previously. My mom struggled with it for years and it's finally picking up after 5 years or so. it's definitely not for the faint hearted, but if she's passionate about it, then Give it your all Milli! Surely your joy will come from there
