Nandoos

Despite the heavy rain on Sunday, we had to beat the rain and drive down Plaza Sing for my IPL Appt. So because of that we manage to beat the shopping crowd somehow, but still we still see people queuing up for the famous Michlin - Tim Ho Wan. Gonna try that someday when I've got the time to head down to join in the queue. hahah! 

But anyway, I've manage to push forward my IPL timing from 620pm to 5pm! (: 
I feel so happy abt that! Which means, we will be able to head home to rest more! =D
So because my appt ended earlier, we had time to think of what to eat for dinner. Searching for something reasonable and cheap! =D 

So Nandos hit my mind, at first the boyfriend was rather reluctant to give that a try, but after a while, he gave in! =D haaah! 
There wasnt any queue at the moment we headed, because it was still early, but soon enough, more people came and seated and the restaurant was filled rather fast.

This wasnt the first time i head to Nandos for dinner, the very first time was with my baby girls - Whee and Estee. But still, we got no idea what to order for dinner. So we just make do with the basics! (:

On a side note, I love how colorful the menus are! (: One thing that attracts me most was the resturants menu! haaa! Call me weird. 

Oh yes, did i also mention, Nando was actually a Portuguese restaurant and they food consist of mainly chickens! hahah! 


They had this spicy level which you could choose from. Because I'm someone who doesnt take spicy, so i make do with the Mild Peri-Peri! (:

A little story line they had (:

Heres the drinks menu (:
The reason why I took a shot of this drink menu was their drinks are rather unique.
The boyfriend took Sparkling Apple while I had Citrus Bliss. I forgot to take a picture of the drinks thou! LOL!. But I suppose Sparkling Apple needs no introduction, just some soda with apple syrup. While mine was a little unique, consist of mint, grapefruit syrup and sprite soda! 

It tasted like bubble gum, like those normal minty bubble gums you bought! LOL! Not really my cup of tea, but the taste was relatively alright. (:

They had different levels of spicy sauce for you to dip into too! (:
The ones I put was this Garlic Peri Peri, a little tinge of spicyness tgt with garlic taste. 
But its was a little salty for my tastebud LOL!

And they had normal tomato sauce too!

The spicy sauce, Hot Peri-Peri and Extra Hot Peri Peri! 
Oh well, didnt try those, because my spicy intake isnt really that awesome. But the boyfriend tried. 
He mentioned, its a little empty in the taste. Spicy but yet the spice taste isnt in.

I love this sauce holder LOL! (: Check out the chilli logo? 
And the boyfriend behind playing his game! LOL!

In fact the atmosphere was fine (: A little unique in their decors, and dim lighting.

Here comes our mains! (:
Because we had no idea what was good, we go for the basics, 1/4 chicken! (:
for the price we paid, it comes with 2 side dishes of you choice. 

The boyfriend choose corn in cob and coleslaw.

While i had potato wedges and coleslaw.

The taste of the chicken was rather surprising! (: Because I had chicken breast while the boyfriend had the drums. the chicken breast was rather tender and juicy! In fact, no sauce is needed. Because remember I choose Mild Peri-peri from the start? Yes, the taste got into the chicken! (: And i love it because firstly, it wasnt too spicy! But just a little salty! (:

The Coleslaw was good! Fresh and it was slightly different from the ones we had outside. The veges are extremely crunchy and makes you want to have more! (:

Took a bite a the boyfriend's corn, that didnt surprise me that much! It wasnt as juicy as the ones we had in Astons, but the margainated in this special sauce which makes the corn looks much more sppealing (: And taste wise, it was quite okay.

Our verdict, we would head down again for dinner if we had got no idea what to eat.!
But because we do not really go for salty stuff, so this may be one of the reason why we might not head back again. Overall, the experience was good! (: And the place was really good for gathereings and chit chat sessions.
