Extra Hot Peri-peri Chicken at Nando's at Aeon Station 18, Ipoh

Nando's has slowly becoming one of the favourite dining place for my family because we like the sour and spicy taste, and at the same time my father is already holding the Nando's club card, which means there will be rewards for dining at Nando's often. Next, if you hold HSBC credit card like we do, you get a free quarter set meal if you buy 3 quarter set meal, plus you will have have the large peri wedges for free. Of course, there are other perks by becoming the Nando's club member, as once you are a member, you are entitled to a complimentary designer drink.

If you go to Nando's, basically you will be served with chickens with side dishes, and there are four level of the spiciness, where the one that we usually ordered is the Extra Hot Peri-peri. This is the spiciest among the four, but we like it very much that we also dipped the chicken with the same sauce as well.

The one and only outlet in Ipoh at the moment, Nando's at Aeon Station 18 is almost busy every meal time - before this, it was like full house from opening till closing. Anyway, the chicken here is well marinated with the Nando's sauce, and grilled slowly to perfection. It is actually way better than the one in Queensbay Mall, Penang.You can also taste the tenderness of the chicken meat.

The service is not too bad, but I won't give them excellent for their service. The staff sometimes don't even know about ongoing promotions, as well as we might not be greeted and shown to our table when we stand in front of the outlet. I don't really blame them, especially during peak hours and when the outlet start operating few months back - however, the service seems like improving nowadays. If you ordered the bottomless drinks, the staff will automatically refill it almost everytime without request, unlike at some other outlets, which is really great. I feel quite annoying if I'm eating, but at the same time, have to wave to get the attention from the staff just to fill up the drinks.

So, overall, I would say that the Nando's at Aeon Station 18, Ipoh is above average in terms of service, and the food served there is good, as well as fresh.
