Nandos

I realize that many franchises couldn't maintain a similar quality, especially across different countries. In Singapore, we are lucky to have tons of nice food, restaurants here are really blooming, many with long queues lining up at the front door especially during dining hours.

I have tried many franchises in Singapore, and left with happy stomach; but not so in other countries. Nandos in Malaysia is one of the exception, and with the Ringgit at its low this moment, shopping and eating in Malaydia does make it much more enjoyable, and of course, pocket friendly!

Nando's chickens are marinated in their secret sauce for 24 hours, and then flame-grilled and basted with the Nando's Peri-Peri sauce, with few levels of spiciness to choose from.

We took the two extreme - lemon garlic and the extra hot.

I was getting pretty proud of myself when I find that I could gulp down the extra hot chicken without any swear. Extra hot? Piece of cake, or so I thought. It is only till the night, right before the journey back to Singapore, that I found myself struggling in the toilet. Apparently, my stomach couldn't handle the heat just as much as my palate could. Gosh, perhaps I shouldn't go further into that...
