Our version of Nando's :)

I can't help but smile whenever I see these photos of the food that we had in Nando's. These were taken when my hubby and I were still going out. We also love to explore fancy restaurants but of course, we are simple people and we aren't picky when it comes to food! So recalling the time when we met at Chatswood and I was famished, I asked hubby to take me somewhere that I haven't been before. He suggested that we go to Nando's but first, we have to buy plain rice from an Asian store in the food court because he doesn't like the rice that is served there. So yeh, we ended up buying 2 containers which is 3$ each (very pricey when you convert it to Phil Peso... LOL) 

Before ordering, he warned me that the Peri Peri sauce is extremely hot. I also like food that are 'kinda' spicy... (depends on one's definition of spicy) But Nando's have different levels of 'spiciness' so he asked me again and again until I told him to just order what he likes. Of course he ordered the 'hot' one and I didn't complain. When the food came, it was served with chips and coleslaw... The best part was when I was dying to have a bite so I took a big piece of chicken with my hands and quickly shoved it into my mouth... When it came in contact with my tongue for a few seconds, it was okay but after a few minutes, I started feeling this eerie sensation building up inside me especially when I swallowed the meat. It was soooooo HOT!!! Whew! And again, I'm not exaggerating. Good thing there was bottled water right in front of me to extinguish the fire inside my mouth! 

In fairness, I like the food though it made me sweat a lot and cry a little bit. I also want to say that the first time I went here was unforgettable because this is where I got another 'confirmation' from God that my boyfriend will become my hubby... (details will be shared on my other blog) So it's also a nice reason to celebrate and be merry... hi hi hi... I also like the design of their plates, as you can see below that the word 'love' is written on it ;-) The design of the menu is also eye-catching but unfortunately I lost the photo and would have to take another one when we go back there again. I also got inspired to post this because of my friend who recently built a blog about food which is the same as my one but the best part is her own recipes (that I don't have here) It's called The Harassed Mom's Food Journey which is an awesome site by the way because it already reached 10k views - good on you Ten! :) 

Nando's chicken... yum!

plate for lovers ;-)
