The first time I've had a taste of the world-wide Nando's franchise was in Australia. I've heard of Singaporeans traveling to Malaysia to get their peri-peri (Portuguese chilies) fix but I've never tried it anywhere else but in Australia.
The hotness of the chickens come in a few degrees. I'm not sure how many there are because I usually just go for the max anyway. The chickens are marinated for at least 24hrs in a common marinade and basted with the peri-peri sauce of the desired hotness when ordered.
Here is a serve of "medium hot" chicken. As you can see, it's a lot less redder than the extra hot version and as such had a lot less kick as well. One thing good about these birds is that they're flamed grilled, creating a nice charred and smoky taste.
The sides of rice and potato salad were pretty decent as well.
The main reason why I dine at predominantly the Nedlands outlet is that they are one of the few branches in Perth that serves grilled chicken livers in peri-peri gravy. This stuff is excellent for liver lovers. They provide some pita breads for you to soak up all that kickass gravy as well.
I hope this franchise finds the shores of Singapore pretty soon. It'll be quite a refreshing change from KFC.D

YD: It's just along Stirling Highway, near Chelsea's Pizza. They have branches over most parts of Perth actually. Subiaco has a pretty nice one as well along Hay St.
bbg: Yo! I've loved donuts like since forever; even before the "craze" started in Singapore. Yup, buttermilk biscuits with the jam and butter or even just on their own. Totally awesome, reminds me of scones...
