What Amala Shitta is
Amala Shitta sits in the Food & Shopping category of the Lagos Life map, in Surulere on the mainland. It is the game's loving import of a real Lagos legend: an amala spot in the Shitta part of Surulere so beloved that naming it alone is a food recommendation. Amala — a dark, silky yam-flour swallow eaten with peppery soups — is comfort food with a hometown crowd, and the game treats the place accordingly: not a generic "restaurant" asset, but the place to "chop" (eat) local, listed on the official tagline right beside riding danfo and surviving NEPA.
What you do there
Eat. Hunger is the second-fastest draining need in the game (5.5 points an hour), and fixing it cheaply is a real skill — party jollof, for instance, runs ₦1,500 elsewhere. Eating at the source is the move the city would want you to make.

Cook — professionally. Amala Shitta is the base of the Chef career, with kitchen shifts Monday to Saturday, 8am to 4pm, and a five-rank ladder:
| Rank | Pay per shift |
|---|---|
| 1. Dishwasher | ₦7,400 |
| 2. Line Cook | ₦15,000 |
| 3. Sous Chef | ₦26,500 |
| 4. Head Chef | ₦42,000 |
| 5. Celebrity Chef | ₦70,500 |
The career trains the Cooking skill; promotions follow the standard rules (full performance meter plus the next rank's skill level) and a perfect shift pays a 15% bonus. Full mechanics live in the money & jobs guide.
How to get there
From anywhere in the city: open the map, tap Amala Shitta, ride. Community guides put a standard trip at ₦150 — the danfo system, flavour and fare included, is documented in our transport guide. Coming to work? The kitchen window is 8am–4pm, Mon–Sat, and the work action only exists inside it; one shift per in-game day, about one real hour.
What it does for you
- The gentlest career door in the game. No skill gate, no application puzzle — a brand-new Sim can be washing dishes tomorrow morning.
- Daytime hours, free evenings. Done by 4pm, every evening open for the Shrine, the Beach or a night at Quilox — the mirror image of the DJ schedule.
- Foodie-trait heaven. The trait makes Cooking grow faster and food more enjoyable; the trait table rates it a natural pairing.
- Cultural currency. In a city of players who know the reference, being the Sim who eats where Lagos actually eats is its own small status.
The other twenty-nine places are on the map & locations hub, and the kitchen itself is open in the official game or via our play page.
