Westlake Yum Cha

  • Westlake on Urbanspoon
My usual hang out Yum Cha joint is Gold Leaf and Shark Fin House, this was my first time here and I did enjoy the usual variety. Services during Yum Cha rush hours (brunch time) is same same everywhere, you get the typical "you want? you want?..." then they stroll off to the next table. If the chicken feet is cooked well then my verdict will be the place is worth a visit, there's nothing like going to Yum Cha and not ordering Chicken feet (hint hint: youse who refuse such delicacy don't know what you are missing out on!). I love my runny egg yolk buns too, but I think they overcooked it that day. 
Give Westlake a visit for Yum Cha hours if you haven't, its worth a try, I don't know why they're ratings are average when I personally think all their dumplings and morning tea dishes are pretty good, possibly dinner dishes and services aren't as good. BTW the bill was paid by family and friends, so I don't know if it's overpriced here, by the looks of things on Urbanspoon people are complaining a lot about prices and services... but not a lot of comments are about the food itself.

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)
