Nando's Chicken

It was Wednesday. I was wondering what to eat. Then I was like, hey, I have not been to Nando's for ages!


Before that, I went to Jaya Grocer. They have stocked up on the Farm Fresh milk in glass bottles. But I had already bought the ones in the carton.


When you don't want something, they are everywhere. When you want to buy, they are nowhere to be found.


Then I went to Nando's. I always order the same thing - half chicken with sides or either coleslaw or chargrilled vegetables or both.


While waiting for my order, I looked through the dessert menu heh..heh...


Tempted? No, I wasn't.


And to think I used to bake muffins. Hah!


I didn't order coffee. Save money.


There you go. Half chicken (Lemon & Herb) with coleslaw.


I went to the back to get a bottle of sauce.


Garlic. It was not exactly garlicky but hot spicy. The chicken was good - very smokey. I should have gotten the chargrilled veggies instead coleslaw. But the coleslaw was nice.


Then I went to jalan-jalan.


The Hari Raya decorations are taking shape.


Not bad. More or less the same design layout as Christmas and Chinese New Year.


There will be further developments to the deco.


Right now half the concourse is taken up by this car show.


There will be Hari Raya goodies for sale soon.

  2. So clever they just change to Malay style curtains and motifs for hari raya decorations but what has it got to do with a locomotive train? To "balik Kampong"? Lol.

  3. I searched back my old posts. I had flame grilled chicken and for the sauce I chose lemon and herb. I had Med. Rice and char grilled vegetables for sides. Next time I will choose Med.rice and coleslaw for sides as I like coleslaw too.

  12. I also always order the same at Nando's....1/4 chicken with a side or two. If there isn't a new flavour I want to try, it's also the lemon & herb for me with a side of roasted veggies usually. P/S: I see the train is put into good use again.
