Buckingham Palace warned chefs at the Nairobi Street Kitchen, where 'King Charles III' dined, not to excessively spice the dishes, the British royal family's fan page reported, citing one of the chefs.
"The sous chef, Rhoda Asiyo, said that they were instructed by Buckingham Palace not to make the dishes 'too spicy' for the King," the fan page said.
The king ordered a saag paneer kathi roll wrap and a butter chicken samosa (baked pastry with toppings), joking that the dishes could "blow your head off," the page added. The monarch also reportedly talked to young entrepreneurs, artists and designers.
Local media describe Nairobi Street Kitchen as a modern marketplace of street food and drinks around the world, as well as shops selling artisan products.
A day earlier, the monarch expressed regret over the British colonial-era policies in Kenya, saying that "the most painful times" in relations between the two countries must be acknowledged.
Charles III also recounted the atrocities committed by the colonizers against the local population in Kenya, terming them "abhorrent and unjustifiable."
"The wrongdoings of the past are a cause of the greatest sorrow and the deepest regret," says the King. However, he did not offer apologies.
An expert previously told Sputnik Africa that the royal family has personal interests in Kenya, such as owning real estate, as well as other activities that "date back to colonial times."
The East African nation gained independence in 1963 after more than 60 years of British colonial rule.
