They were given a receipt showing a total bill of GH¢503.28.

Aside from the waakye, they also bought three different juices. However, the most expensive item on the bill was the waakye.

The ladies complained a lot about the pricing.

Even though the cost of the food itself was high, the taxes caused it to rise to the total amount they were supposed to pay.

Later, they bought waakye from a street vendor for GH¢30 and encouraged other tourists to eat street food rather than buy from restaurants.

Despite the high cost of food at the restaurant, the two women enjoyed their stay and took part in other fun activities.
