How ordering works, how we handle pickup and delivery in Regina, and how to keep your snacks fresh.
Flourish Snacks Bites is a small home-based Nigerian snack kitchen in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, run by Bukola. Because everything is fried or baked in small batches for a specific order date rather than sold from a shelf, most questions we receive are about timing: how far ahead to order, whether pickup or delivery suits you better, and how long a snack will stay at its best once it reaches you. The answers below cover the questions that come up most often, written out in full so you can decide what you need before messaging us.
If your question is not answered here, send it on WhatsApp. We would rather talk through your order — the number of guests, the date, the mix of snacks — than have you guess. Nothing is prepared until we have confirmed availability, quantity, price and how you will receive it, so there is no risk in simply asking first.
Keep chin chin sealed in its pouch or an airtight container in a cool, dry place to protect its crunch. Freshness varies by batch and storage conditions; ask us for the best-before guidance for your specific order rather than relying on a general estimate.
Keep it sealed in the pouch or transfer it to an airtight jar or container, away from heat, sunlight and moisture. There is no need to refrigerate — the moisture in a fridge can soften the crunch. Once opened, reseal the pack or close the jar after each serving.

If you have never ordered Nigerian snacks for a gathering before, it helps to start with the shape of the event rather than a list of items. A small family birthday with other food on the table needs far less than a wedding reception where the snack table is the main thing guests graze on through the evening. Tell us the date, the rough guest count and whether the snacks sit alongside a full meal, and we can suggest a realistic quantity instead of you over-ordering or running short.
Mixed orders are usually the most popular choice, because a table with something crunchy, something soft and something savoury keeps a wider range of guests happy than a single item in bulk. Chin chin holds its texture the longest, which makes it useful for tables that stay out for a few hours, while fried items such as puff puff are at their very best soon after they are made. We take that into account when we agree a preparation and collection time with you.
For questions about lead times, quantities and ingredients, use our order form. Tell us your date and guest count; we will confirm preparation, storage and collection details for the actual items in your order.
Messages come straight to Bukola, so you are never dealing with an automated system. Ask about ingredients, allergens, quantities for a specific guest count, or whether a date is still open — whatever you need before committing to an order.
