Dining at Nando's - It's PeRi PeRi delicious!

So today I went to Nando's to have a late lunch...which also happened to be my dinner...

...yes... it was that filling and satisfying =P!

Olives are always a must, especially when you're at Nando's. These are the best olives I've tried at a restaurant.

Mixing in some sizzling Hot PeRi PeRi sauce...

This was the first time I've tried Houmous with some PeRi PeRi Drizzle...and I must say, it made it twice as delicious... as if by magic! Yumm.... this sure caught me offguard...

Will be ordering again!

So I began dipping almost everything on the houmous...

I ordered a Couscous salad. Delicious and healthy! At first glance, I thought there's no way I can finish all of it, then I realised that underneath the visible portion of couscous, lay lots of crunchy salad leaves and olives.

And then I ended up getting these sweets -.- and was pretty disappointed in them but thought they were 'fun' in a way...

I like trying out new sweets. So when I saw this sweet shop with loads of imported sweets, a crowd of people selecting their favourites...I just had to venture in.
And so I did.

I thought this would be a fun way to eat a bubble gum. However, I needed a lot of force to squeeze out the gum, plus, the flavour lasted for a few seconds. Not to mention it was initially pretty sticky on one's teeth ...

Okay, so because this was a candy shop...I thought this might just be candy toothpicks!

What else would you expect?

Well, upon opening it, I found out I might have just bought the most expensive toothpicks ever... >.> ...

No more said (haha).

Abu Zaad - Syrian Restaurant

Abu Zaad is a restaurant specialised in Syrian cuisine located in Shepherd's Bush (a 15 minute walk from Westfield if you happen to be nearby)

The decorations made me feel like I was taken to another era. The music added a wonderful homely atmosphere to the golden lit room...

Mint tea came with traditional tea mixed with mint leaves.

Some Battata Harra was a yummy starter with khubus bread...

...accompanied by some falafel and....

...of course... how can you forget the houmous? =P

Some Tabouleh was also brought to the table. As I blogged before.... this is my favourite salad!!

Chicken Showerma was the main satisfying meal, with some mild spicy rice and a mix of salad on the side.

Dessert was a selection of fine baklawas.

I'd definitely recommend anyone to try out this restaurant. The food is of good quality, the service was great, the atmosphere was so relaxed.... satisfying indeed!
