The novena outlet has closed down (after nex) so made way to vivo outlet instead. This outlet style is a little different whereby you queue to order and pay for your food at a fast food look alike counter 1st then proceed to find a seat with the number given. Alternatively your partner can chop one seat first. You collect your utensils and sauces from a self served counter near the entrance to the dining area. Not the best system i would say as i witness customers with orders placed already did
Was using groupon $30 voucher so i ordered 2 quarter chicken meal with 2 sides each. Our sides were sauteed mushroom & potato, french fries, chicken soup, spicy wedges and corn on cob. Had to order one more ala carte side at $3.50 so that my total bill exceeds $30 before gst. When my food was served, we were actually given another bowl of chicken soup but funnily without croutons. Of cse i gladly accepted what was served without questioning hahaha. Talk about the sides first
Chic soup - very gluey and starchy, not to my liking, feel like those made from instant powder
french fries - very normal, not crispy enough
Sauteed mushroom and potato - not too bad, the small potatoes are nicely cooked and so were the mushrooms
spicy wedges - better than the french fries, i like that it was served hot and not cold
corn on cob - disappointed, its 2 pieces cut from probably a tiny whole corn. It was so small that its tough to cut out just the kernels for consumption
Now to the chicken, my partner had the supa peri which was really spicy and i had the very peri. The other 2 sauces were Tangy Lemon and Mild Perri. The meat looks more grilled than the usual rotisserie style but the inner flesh was a tad too dry for me, the skin and outer surface was ok though. I ended up eating it more with the sachet chilli for more flavors. Return to eat: maybe not, would want to try the new stall at Poulet, at Bugis+ instead
