It was almost 2 years since my trip to Nepal, and we had craving for Third Eye's grilled chicken & nanns! On a side note, if you are going trekking in Nepal, dun forget to stop by Third Eye in Kathmandu! ^_^
Having know that Nando's serves similar dishes like nanns and chicken, we "felt" that it was time to visit it even though it's not a Nepalese restaurant. Keke
Service was not fantastic though. First impression failed.
We had to queue for quite long (more than half an hour) before we got our table. I am okay to wait if the restaurant is really packed with customers. Com'on, I'm not a unreasonable customer.
In actual fact, there were empty tables, but the servicing staff was simply slow to show customers to the seats. I'm suspecting a scheming plot of trying to feature a long queue outside the restaurant as a way of free advertising. Humpt.
After dunno how long, we were finally shown to our seats. We were oreadi starving which was not a good sign, as we usually ended up over ordering. Sigh.
The chicken here has different degree of spiciness, and oh ya, we are not spicy eater, so we decided to be "coward" and ordered Lemon & Herb.
1/4 Chicken + 2 side dish ~ $13.90 |
Not brave? Says who?
I believe in tasting food at it's most natural form, with minimum seasoning possible. Coz then we can really taste the skills of a good chef. If we need chili for everything, then everything will merely taste the same mah. But I dun deny that some spice will help to heighten the taste of food. Most importantly, you must enjoy the food according to your preference, whether it's spicy or not.
The chicken was a tad dry, not as tender as expected. Side dishes wise, okay but as an advice, maybe it's not a brilliant idea to order 2 potato sides, reason being too filling la!
Top up Soup + Bread at $4.25 |
You may also top up your meal for just $4.25.
Novo Pita ~ $2.25 |
The nanns were not too bad, although a bit plain. I simply cant find fruit nanns in Singapore, at most garlic or butter nanns. Yawnz.. boring.
Cataplana ~ $18 |
This dish was like tomato rice with stir fried vegetables and chicken. The chicken here tasted better but was not given a lot, buried by all those vegetables (garlic, capsicum, carrot etc) which we dun really eat.
Overall, food was okay although there was no wow factor to really draw me back. It will be just another restaurant that I will probably patronize if I need food. So much about the hoo-ha when it just started. Oh well, I suppose I'm not easily impressed. =p
