A few bloggers (including me!) were invited to attend a "Brunch" in Nando today... (I was most excited when I received an invitation for the 1st time in history! hahahaaaaa...) Prior to this event, I was looking forward and couldn't help feeling quite excited about meeting with "who's who" Ipoh bloggers for the first time too.... and of course trying the new menu and sidekicks in Nando!
At precisely 11.30am, I reached my destination....
NANDO
Nice ambience with beautiful deco...
We ordered these...
Madiera Red, sweet and fizzypomegranate lemonade
coupled with fresh mint leaves...
What to order... hmmmmm....
Well, I didn't scratch my head for long...'
Dear Jolyn ordered these for us....
4 pieces chicken platter...
(hey, just nice for my 3 kids and myself!)
 |
| as for the sidekicks.... |
here comes the sweet potatoes with gravy..
wow... something very different...
(actually I personally asked for this) hehehee..
and of course there was other sidekick dishes
such as coleslaw, green beans...salad...
Here comes the cataplana...
Cataplana Originale and Cataplana Porto..
Rice with something-something... gosh!!
(I think I failed as a food blogger!)
Another gosh! Just look at that...
This is called Espetada...
a combination of marinated chicken thighs and red pepper...
with 2 sidekicks... fries and spinach.. (try this!)
Appetizer...
To me, it tasted something like "Nann"
and one word of advice..
Whatever you eat in Nando..
Do remember the try all the Peri-Peri sauce!!
Their flavours are so unique individually...
Too bad I didn't manage to snap some of them..
I was too busy "munching" away!
Here we are... the Ipoh Bloggers and our Nando personnel..
Can you guess who is who? :)
Nice knowing you all...
Thank you once again, Jo..
Hope we meet again someday...

Melissa loves Nandos. Used to eat in Wellington. None in Sg Petani... :( Looks very nice - maybe I can go and eat in Ipoh one day... ;)
ReplyDeleteNando's!!! My favourite! I can eat the whole chicken with garlic chilli sauce, the spiciness is what drives me into loving them.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to get the invites and get to try a variety of dishes at one go! I wanted to try other food when I visit them, but i couldnt resist the Peri-peri chicken!
stp: so Nando is in NZ too! hope they make their way to your place soon!
ReplyDeletenicole: wow..whole chicken? actually not impossible because their portion is not that big.. :)
The food and ambience look fantastic! Wow!
ReplyDeleteClaire, I think the 3 hour drive to and from KL is too long and tiring for you. That would amount to 6 hrs of driving. That's too much! Anyway, I am not sure the tour will be offered next year.
So I suggest we meet some other time some other place. Maybe, we can meet in Hawaii...?
Nom Nomm...I love Nando too! Bet you must had a great foodie session.
ReplyDeleteNando..i tried once when I was travelling to KL to meet my MP's forum friends. I love the food there.too bad there is no Nando's branch at Sibu.
