Walking into Barcelos, my group of friends and I wasn’t welcomed with the most excellent service. We had to wait quit a long time at the entrance before a staff finally attended to us after what seems to be an endless chat with his fellow colleagues.

Walking into Barcelos, my group of friends and I wasn’t welcomed with the most excellent service. We had to wait quit a long time at the entrance before a staff finally attended to us after what seems to be an endless chat with his fellow colleagues. It was a little turn off for all of us, but since we’re all tired and hungry after a day at Sentosa, we decided to patronize the restaurant anyway.
The restaurant was well-decorated with big wooden furniture, which would be great if it was a little more clean. However, the ambience was still serene and comfortable for a good catching up session with friends.
The special thing about Barcelos is that they give us the freedom to choose the Spice level which we desire. In ascending order of spiciness, there are Tangy Lemon, Mild Peri, Veri Peri and finally Supa Peri. I had a Mild Peri Chicken Pasta Combo $14.95, which comes with a free flow soft drink as well. Without a combo it’s $12.95, but since it’s just $2 for unlimited drinks, I figured why not.
The food tasted awesome. The chicken was tender and very juicy, though it got a little bland when you dug deeper into it. The sauce did not penetrate all the way through the chicken. However, it was a little bit too expensive for the service size. For almost $15, I would expect a much bigger portion. The amount of pasta was too little and I’m still hungry even after finish eating the chicken down to the bones ): But I did not order another dish as I do not think it’s worth it to spend more money than I already had. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for something filling, just something to satisfy your taste buds, Barcelos is a great place to go for some great tasting food. I heard they have a delivery service now as well, hotline is 62199408 for diners who are interested.
