Eating Out: Nandos. Franchise all over Australia.

Went down to Doncaster Westfield again today. Shopping with the girls. Been craving Nandos for a little while now. Used to eat it quite regularly but now its about once every couple of months.

Why is it so good? One, the marinade is spicy and jammed pack with flavour. It has the nice charred flavour without the burnt flavour as well. Two, the chicken is soooooo moist and fatty, not dry and disgusting unless you get the breast but its not too bad.

One downside to nandos is the price. This piece cost me $5.90. Burnnnnnnnnnnnnn. And it didn't make me full but it did taste delicious and I was happy. Had to get a roll of sushi after to fill myself up. So lunch ended up costing $8.20. Not too bad I guess.

Fairwood

You're probably wondering what Fairwood is.....or not. It pretty much the same as Cafe de Coral just a different company. Went there to grab a quick lunch before heading out. I forgot the exact name of what I ordered so I'm just going to make it up. Crumbed Pork Cutlet with Mushroom Sauce and Omurice with a Peach Drink?

The pork cutlet was pretty good, wasn't tough and had a thin layer of crumbs. Although a tad dry it did come with a sauce so it was fine. The omurice was different, it's tomato rice omelette, the egg was way overcooked but you can't expect perfectly cooked eggs at a place like Fairwood. All their food is pretty cooked to meet demands. The peach drink was really good. Fizzy with little cubes of jelly. Yummy :) All for I think $36 (AUD$5ish)

Cafe De Coral 大家乐

So after coming back from Taiwan we decided to go out for dinner at......Cafe De Coral. It like this massive food chain in HK and its AWESOME.
So pretty much you order at the counter, they give you a ticket with a number on it and you wait for you number to be called out to collect your meal.

Dougs meal: Escagot on mash potatoes. Sweet potato chips. New Zealand steak with a black pepper gravy. The steak was way over done but still soft. All this for I think HK$44 or AUD$6.20.

My Meal: Also Escagot on potato mash. Never had escagot before but I know the escagot here was pretty bad. Didn't taste like anything.
Also had sweet potato chips.
But I had a baked scallop, pork steak and chicken steak with black pepper gravy. Also HK$44. Unfortunately very salty but you can't expect grand food.
Value: 7/10
Taste: 6/10
Service: 7/10 straightforward with no one bothering you whilst you eat.
Would I recommend it? It is a must go. Whether its for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, if you go to HK, you must visit Cafe De Coral.
