To say I am fortunate is truly an understatement to what I experienced one Saturday afternoon at Tampines Mall.
All along, I knew there was a black chicken and thought Nando's served Indian food as it always had spicy stuff. To my amazement and surprise, Nando's is actually Portuguese food.
The Peri-Peri chicken served was lip-smacking good. I ate piece after piece. Being a meat lover, I can tell when the meat is good. No doubt at times, the spices may be overpowering as there was mild hot, hot and extra hot(WARNING:Not for the faint-hearted) When I ate the extra hot Peri-Peri chicken, I could feel my tongue on fire literally and I had to reach for water several times.
However, if you are able to take spicy stuff and wish to challenge yourself, by all means, go ahead and try the extra spicy Peri-Peri chicken. My two personal favourites are the lemon and herb chicken and the chicken Espetada(which means skewered chicken).

If you have a big group of 13 like we did, it's best to have the sharing platters. It is both affordable, value-for-money and huge in portions. There was definitely enough to go around plus much more left over for those who cannot get enough like me!! Their Peri-fect platters of flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken are made for sharing. A platter shared is a cost divided. It comes with a little flag that indicates the spiciness level on the “peri-o-meter”

The service at the Tampines Mall branch is superb. When I ordered my drinks, not 1, not 2 but 3 drinks. They patiently took my order and served it promptly. When I requested for more serviettes, they gave me more than enough. I had enough to go round the whole entire table of 13 bloggers.
You want to know what I like about Nando's? Not only their chickens are:
1)The freshest and never frozen
2) Marinated for 24 hours in our natural Peri-Peri sauce
3)Grilled to order over an open flame to reduce fat content
4) Catered to your taste to control the spiciness
and the best part of it all? Nando's Peri-Peri chicken is always healthy. The chicken is flame-grilled which means it loses lots of the fats.
To cater for different tastes,Nando's Peri-Peri menu provides a varied choice of healthy but delicious options which makes eating out healthy and easy.
I cherished times such as this- good food, laughter and desserts!! Did I just mention DESSERTS? Yup, you heard me right! After all the spiciness, it was best to end on a sweet note by having desserts such as caramel cheesecake, natas(Portuguese pastry topped with custard), lighten up chocolate cake and chocolate crunch roll.
By the way,if you did not know, Nando's has recently opened a branch at Tampines Mall #01-46 (I definitely be back-loved the ambience and the service provided) and the upcoming 112 Katong at 112 East Coast Road #01-14/15 in this December 2011.
