Star Vista is an eco-friendly alfresco mall, so only the shops, restaurants and the auditorium/theatre on Level 3 have aircon. While Nandos has a small alfresco seating area, we made a beeline for the cool, aircon interior. If you're visiting for the first time, do pick one of the tables with the sauce racks, so you can have easy access to Nandos' signature dipping sauces for the chicken. Else, you have to know exactly which sauce you want and ask the server to bring it to your table.Chicken is
Chicken is the highlight here and one can choose to have it on its own, or served in salads, burgers, pitas or wraps. Like most diners, I opted for the Quarter Chicken which was served with two side dishes. I had the 'white' Quarter ie breast meat with wing which was flattened so the diner can easily tuck into it without using fingers. The chicken was moist enough to enjoy it au naturel,though one can enhance its flavor by dipping it in table sauces - tomato, lemon herb & three types of peri peri sauces.
I prefer Nandos to Kenny Rogers rotisseried chicken which tends to be oilier and a little salty. K.R. used to serve US chicken initially but has now switched to either Malaysian or Indonesian chicken so the portions are smaller than the quarter / half chicken served at Nandos or its closest competitor Barcelos. Between the purveyors of African style peri peri chicken, I like the chicken served at this Nandos outlet at Star Vista because the bird I had at Barcelos was a little dry and chewy. Nandos also has more choices of side dishes including risotto/rice and sweet potato mash. I opted for the three bean salad, which was very good, and the grilled vegetables. The latter looked like it had been sauteed not grilled and was drenched in oil. Will opt for coleslaw or green salad next time.
As we were quite full, we opted out of heavier desserts like cheesecake and Portuguese egg tarts and chose their chocolate cake filled with firm, bittersweet chocolate custard. We met our chocolate craving without being stuffed.
