Heyrooo?! Welcome to Shopmenia! Shopmenia is a fusion of the word Shop and my username, Mesonia. Here, I'll be taking you along with me to shop with Hbd and review the shop, restaurant or business of the day and give you my Opinions! It may come in form of a vlog, a diary.....it depends. I got the inspiration from @shokin and i thought , why not come up with a Fun catchphrase for my personal shopping rendezvous at first, and then, i thiught of ShopMania with a little twist to it..... SHOPMENIA ! What do you think?
Today, I'll take you to shop at The chicken republic located at Adazi road, Aba, Abia state to buy? Drumrollsssss, ice-cream and meat pie. Yeah, i know that was the same combo i bought last time at crunchies, remember? But that's the whole point of buying and reviewing these businesses, at least in a way for me. Before i give my review which would come last. Allow me to take you from the beginning of this journey. Im so nervous, hold my hand while we're at it. Hahaha
So, it all started when i was small and now, im grown and i still love ice-cream. I woke up this say and thought before going back to school (yes, im back to school), why not buy some ice-cream and spendhbd while at it? And then at the seventh hour, it clicked (I'm trying to incorporate the seventh day of rest of God here. Pretend you understand, pretend). While writing this, i checked and saying the seventh hour is actually correct, so, yes. After dressing up to get going, i got going. I'm literally channelling my inner Collen Hoover right now.

Anyways, when i got to Chicken republic, it was quite full. Well, technically, the space is small especially when compared to the Crunchies in factory road space. Wait a minute, you know when they say don't compare people or don't compare yourself to others...i hope it's not wrong that I'm comparing these two. I mean I'm just tryna let you know whats up and what to expect when visiting either becauseeeee they are however almost in the same area. Lets get back on track!
I ordered a cup of icecream and meat pie. Can i say how much i love ice-cream again? It's literally therapy but guess what i had a brain freeze this day , ahahhhhh!!!! Its something also called ice-cream headache. You mught just need to know that so uou don't get too scared when youre eating ice-cream and it happens. So, yeah you're welcome.
CUSTOMER REVIEW
I love love chicken republic's ice-cream and so far, i have a couple of persons who have agreed with me that they make arguably the best ice-cream in the area and if i must say, in Aba. The price have also increased over time from 700, 800 naira and so so to now, 2000 Naira. Maybe they have a smaller sized cup compared to what i got. So, you might want to ask before getting the 2k own.
Then, the meat pie. Ahhhh! I was disappointed especially because it's the same price with the one i got in Crunchies, 900 naira. This one is so small and i literally asked the server if they're all that size because i was shook and it was not even filled up. Inside, theres no meat and it's MEAT pie but chile.
Here's how the meat pie looks
As much as it was not to my taste and I'll prefer Crunchies meatpie.....i would also say this, the Crunchies meatpie is bigger, filled up with enough meat for the price, but it is considerably dry compared to this one. So , if you want a more, i dont know what word to use. Basically, it's not dry and it's saucy? Yeah.
The customer service is not bad but can be better. Would you want to try chicken republic when you're in Aba? Oh, they do sell other things like chicken and so so. I'll try that next time. In the mean time, here is my direct review using distriator
Overall, I'll give it a 7 out of 10. See you next time, muah!
