The queue at Nando’s in Bugis Junction is testament to its popularity, but the long line can also be a turn off. So Luffs and I decided to head down to Nando's second outlet at Tanglin Mall but the queue wasn't short at all when we got there at slightly after 8 pm.

Here's the Peri-O-Meter on the first page of the menu which allows you to “choose your heat before you eat”.

Each table was given 4 different types of sauces - ketchup, garlic, hot and extra peri peri. I personally found nothing too unusual about them because they tasted pretty normal.

Being on our no-carbo diet, Luffs and I could not order any chicken meal because they come with sides like chips, bread, rice etc. So we went with 2 'mains'.

1/2 Chicken @ $17.90
Butterfly cut chicken, marinated for 24 hours then flame-grilled.

I would have to agree that the chicken was nicely grilled, tender and juicy. Most importantly, it came with little fat! We had it with mild peri-peri but Luffs added the extra hot peri-peri sauce which was provided on the table.

Petisco @ $21.90
4 chicken wings marinated and flame-grilled, mini chicken thighs, olive, novo pita and 2 dips.

We took the hot peri-peri for this and I found it quite spicy but was disgusted how the chicken wings tasted burnt. The pita (shit, we took carbo!) was warm and fluffy and tasted good together with the dips. However, I wasn't a big fan of the fresh olives which came in green and black varieties.
