Queen Victoria Market

A beautiful Sunday to visit the iconic Queen Victoria Market, more so for the food then the shopping. It's been a while since I've stepped foot here, and OMG its popularity and food varieties have grown dramatically, I loved it!!! You may not know but I've had 4 wisdoms removed a week ago, so my cravings were satisfied today :)

this guy is making the Devil's Chicken - sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy with beautiful veggies
Roti and Beef Curry, my friends loved this
 The best Sri - Lankan/ Indian Chicken Curry I've had - it's called the Devils Chicken $12
Meanwhile at the Great Australian BBQ - Taste of Australia
Sorry to say this, but everyone on my table who tried this Kangaroo Meat Burger did not enjoy it one bit, it was bland, flavourless, sauce was too and the bun itself was soft and powdery. 
This Chicken wing salad unfortunately was not so good, chicken was bland and the salad was too sour.

Awesomely tasting chilled Cannoli - the cream was fortunately just right, I've always disliked the overly sweet ones. Thumbs up from me and my friends

Chooh La La (the original French praline) - these warmly toasted caramelised macadamias were delicious, the medium packet was $15 and smaller was $10, the guys who served us were very friendly and just wanted us to try everything, it was like all you can try before you buy. hehehehhe

 You could hear these guys from a mile away, it was soothing music so my ears were in a happy place.
Can you guess what this line is for? the ATM! it was ridiculously long, all ATMs on both corners were packed with people. My recommendation before coming to Victoria Market would be have some cash in your pocket as some stalls and shops only accepts CASH.

As for thirst, we had freshly squeezed lemonade (this was good) and the usual soft drinks.

Nando's

Nandos is not a cheap fast food joint, they consider themselves more of a restaurant, but the service is just like a fast pace takeaway place with a South American feel to it with all the colour schemes, decor and music.

I love portuguese flame grilled peri peri chicken at Nandos, or anything thats HOT at Nando's. Their peri peri salt on fries are great too. My favourite use to be the wings, but they have obviously taken that off the menu hence the next best thing I would eat regularly here are chicken ribs... 8 Churrasco BBQ Ribs for $8.95! This in a Meal is even more expensive, which makes these small ribs equate to >$1 a rib - rip-off! But because I love the formula, flavours and sauce I always make my return.

See due to the expensive menu, the Chicken wings which I loved was included in the Kids menu, so I did save a few dollars when I ordered the kids meals which included two sides (drink and chips) as well. But as I have mentioned, it is no longer on the menu. If I could give them some feedback I would tell them to bring back the chicken wings.

They have a variety of sauces for the chickens, from lemon and herb to extra hot.

Their coleslaw is under average, but I do recommend the garden salad ($8.95!) which include balsamic vinegar sachets on the side, add as much or as little as you want.

I was sharing with 8 people so I ordered a  whole chicken in a meal, because it worked out cheaper (and I get to eat some wings here). I have no Picture of ribs but its the same colour but in rip form. The chicken is grilled hence it could get charred in some areas. 

Peri Peri chips - its normal fries with the peri peri salt (which makes it even better in my opinion)

Graden salad with Balsamic vinegar
