Nando's Unity Stickers

In the run up to voting day , we've witnessed all sorts of shenanigans . This left moochi distressed . He thinks it's a disaster because he's seeing boys of his age commit vandalism on flags and banners of the parties they do not support .

I told him that these politicians are just acting . At the end of the day they are still friends and they still address each other and they still sit on the same table and enjoy a glass of teh tarik . All this show is just for us so that we will vote them because they either managed to trigger our extreme or moderate tendencies .

Better come and see the set of stickers I got from Nando's .

All of the parties in here together . I won't show you all of course , and I don't know if you can get it from the restaurants itself but I had to request for them via email .

Nando's Malaysia loyal fans - check your postbox

Don't you just love getting snail mail via the good old postbox especially when it comes from Nando's ?

Well , when I opened it up , I was wondering why they sent me 4 different postcards inside the envelope .....

One evening , at one particular Nando's outlet .....

We're here to claim our reward for being loyal Nando's customers and I have to say that regularly patronising one outlet does have its perks .

First of all , the staff will instantly recognise you because they see you so often . Because of that , since they roughly know how many seats you'll need , you might get fast tracked past the waiting crowd who most times have their heads buried in their phones while waiting their turn .

It happened to us today and boy did we feel like royalty !

Nando ' s Annual Bonus

As I took the envelope out and placed it on the table , the friendly waiter , the guy with that signature "Hah-hah-hah ! " to everything , we and he say , knew what it was .

" This is fifty dollar discount yes ? "

" Oooh ...you know already ..."

" 25 customer claim this already . How you get this ? " 

I told him it was via mail .

Nando 's Cuti-cuti Ayam - Trip for 4 Platter

" For an instant South African getaway " 

one can choose to go on a Trip for 4 or a Trip for 8 .

Oh really? 

Well then put your seatbelts on . We're gonna fly there today !

Unwitting Espetada promoter

 Quick scan over facebook showed that even Bayan Bay was jammed up from 11:30 am today .

No point going anywhere .

So we decided to ditch lunch plans and go use my newly acquired pizza card . 

Sent kiddo down and he came back with a " The lady said we'll have to wait 2 hours for the pizza "

Muah : " TWO HOURS ??? " 

Are they kidding ? Really ? 

This calls for a family discussion . Sigh , don't wanna battle the jams ... they win .

This time , we're all at the counter . 

Muah : " Can we pay you now and wait for delivery ? " 

Girl : " No can do . You'll have to go through the call centre for that . However , the offer is not valid when you order via delivery service "

Muah : groaning " Ok , tell you what , we will wait "

Girl : " You will have to wait an hour for your pizza " 

I shoot kiddo, a one eyebrow up look . Daft or deaf ?

Still my kid .

Muah : " Right....we'll be right here waiting . Not going anywhere . Gonna camp it out . Might as well make ourselves comfy " and nope , I'm not kidding . 

Park ourselves there and whaddaya know , they gave us our order in 15 minutes together with this calendar .

Great method of getting rid of too cozy customers , in a decent manner by the way  . 

2nd whole bird from Nando ' s

Simply love how quick this app responds.

The instant we have redeemed our reward for being such loyal customers , this pops up on my mobile .

 Nobody else gives you back a whole bird for your loyalty. Don't even think about 2. But yeah , that is the amount we've managed to claim up to now , apart from the quarter chicken and half birds racked up along the way .

Try Something New - like a Steak Burger at Nando ' s

I guess by virtue of being a really loyal customer , this arrived today in the mailbox .

A whole bird on the 9th visit | Nando ' s Peri - vilege app

Because I eat here quite regularly, we managed to collect 9 chillies in good time . Still , you know, I was a little sceptical up to the last minute with regards to what t & c tricks would be attached. Seemed almost too good to be true. I mean, who else gives you back a whole bird for free right ? Bear in mind that the first time I signed up for the card membership here, there were a lot of kinks in the system. They've done away with that and so far, this new one rocks. 

Yesterday, I showed the staff this and yes it really is true ! No tricks. No conditions. We really are rewarded for our loyalty. We really did get back a whole chicken ! Really ! 

Nando's - Lunar Angpau

Probably the most African inspired looking un angpau, angpau design to date , these came through the post.

Not exactly new as they'd been stuffed, other than being of interest to collectors , it useful for 'mean'ingful purposes. Read on .

Nando's Australia - Chicken Shears

Are you a huge fan of Nando's ?

Me, I use their sauce for nasi kandar fried chicken . Occasionally, I lather a drop on chicken rice especially since the hawker's sauce has such a garlicky pong Dracula's fangs would fall out if he so much came within ten feet of whoever just ate it.

Have seen their sauce all over the place sold just like that but in Australia, omg ! Look they even give you a pair of chicken shears to really " git down " on it !

Super awesome.

Goes without saying. Of course we bought it. 

Nando's magnetic mat - only via mail

Malaysian cyberspace is still abuzz over news about the existence of that special limited edition Nando's selfie stick. Forget about trying to win that . You have to buy the Gang set in order to get that. 

With this one however, you have to be a Nando's Peri-vilege app user first, in order to get it mailed to you.

Least expected it. Such a surprise. Whatever it is.

Oh wait....it's a magnet. Now that makes it one of the biggest magnetic mats around I guess.

Remember to check your mailbox if you are .

This mini 2015 resolution magnetic mat is not win-nable either.

Nando's - limited edition monopod stick

Gasp ! Monopod sticks can be found all over the place in Rome right now but this is really something else altogether.To get this limited edition selfie/wefie stick, you'll have to act fast and go check out their new menu. 

We choose "Gang 0f 4" solely based on the attractive price, which is RM95 not inclusive of taxes . I have to admit that I didn't even look at the menu items properly and was pleasantly surprised ( actually very excited ) when our server presented this to us. 

Waaaaaaa!!!!! So niceeeeeee !!!!!!

Nando's Malaysia - Peri-vilege app

Used this app for the first time today since I went to claim a one free quarter chicken sent to me via snail mail, as a sort of apology  for the delay in setting it up. While that effectively makes their lifetime membership card in the past such a farce, I'm putting that behind me and trying to embrace this new point collecting system.

Nando's Postcard or maybe not ?

Had turned up, because they had earlier on sent me a letter, to redeem a free bottle of sauce for being such a loyal diner ( took the Extra Extra Hot and at the same time, claimed their buy 3 free 1 Facebook fan offer )

 And I least expected to find this at my table .

Not every table has it, but so happened, mine had 2.

 Guess that explains the nature of this shot.

However, upon closer inspection, there's no place to write an address down. So, I'm not sure if it's still considered a postcard or not.

Nando's Peri-Vilege Membership Card

One of the nicest membership card packs I ever paid $10 for is this

Tear the cute sticker seal open...

..to reveal the membership card.

Nando's London ( U )

There are approximately 65 Nando's restaurants in London alone with more than 250 outlets spread over the UK .

We decided to dine here because we wanted to make a comparison with the outlets we have back home.

Downstairs was too cramped for comfort so up we went
