Nando's Cataplana feast, Gurney Plaza ( PF )



Penangites have fallen hopelessly in love with this Portuguese chicken franchise from day one.

Us included.




 We want to try out their signature dish, served in this very cute but strange looking copper/brass like container.




Open sesame.

Maybe it looks different from the picture in the menu because we ordered the Cataplana Porto instead of Original Cataplana




 Olives, fresh button mushrooms, chicken thigh meat and fluffy long grained rice aside, it is seriously hot enough to make those used to eating chilli padi turn into a red faced tomato that is about to explode.

Tastes like Nasi Beriani cooked with capsicum, olives, very hot pepper and extremely hot chillies. 

 I reach for the Ice Lemon tea to extinguish the fire spreading from my tongue, burning the skin around my lips .

Thank goodness it is refillable.



Moving on.

Grilled sausages.

A little too charred today, but still tastes nice.

Think they must have run out of large tomatoes and lettuce too because the amount given is less than usual.




My all time favourite .

Hot Quarter chicken with Grilled vegetables and Chips .

I don't need to tell you how succulently delicious this combination is.




His favourite.

Hot Quarter chicken with sweetcorn and potato salad.

Funny, lots of baby sized vegetables served today.





Normally No.1 can wolf down half a bird.

Today he settles for a Hot Quarter chicken with Mediterranean rice and Peri chips.



But it is promptly sent back to the kitchen because he wants more Peri Powder, hence, it ended up looking like this.

 Makes us all sneeze.




No.2 asked for trouble as usual.

Wrestled with this massive Grilled Chicken breast burger on his own till he started sliding up and down his chair.





While we definitely went overboard today, till we almost had to crawl out of the exit,tummy first, you should have seen our satisfied faces.
