Nando Nogo

Ok, you know how much I love Nando's right? That I could eat their chicken all the time if my wallet and jeans size allowed. Heck, I probably would borrow money just so I could smack my lips at the tangy hotness of their garlic sauce.

Well that just sounded like porn. Never mind.

It's no secret (especially since I moan the fact all the time anyway) that the Malaysian service industry suck balls. I think I may have found the place where the creme de la creme of blur cases work--and it's unfortunately at my nearest Nando's.

*wails*

I went there to have a late-ish dinner with the family tonight. It was 9pm by the time we sat down and our stomachs were growling with hunger once we salivated over the menu while giving our orders.

The blur-case waiter kept returning to our table to reconfirm our orders, as if the reminder on the notepad he wrote our orders down on wasn't enough. Dei, what were you scribbling when you were taking our orders lah? Tic Tac Toe? 

Nevermind. Still can tahan.

9:25pm. Wahliao, damn freaking hungry already. The manager suddenly pops by our table and said the cook or waiter or possibly both got our orders wrong. So we were asked to wait another 10 minutes. In a little while, our starters, Ian's and my plate arrived. You'd expect that the rest of the family's orders would soon emerge after ours did, right? 

9:40pm. Halfway through my chicken only then did Mum and Fred's food arrive. As if the first mistake wasn't bad enough, they got Fred's order wrong. Wrong sauce. Good thing for his stomach and the Nando's staff, Fred tucked in anyway.

9:50pm. No sign of June's order. Unanimously agreeing they weren't out catching chickens to slaughter, we found out that they had forgotten hers. Grumbles of "bodoh" and cusses began to circulate our table. Miraculously, June still wanted her chicken! XD

Here's the biggest joke; once her food came, THEY GOT HER ORDER WRONG!!!!!!!!

Eh hello, the cook having an off day or what? 

Never mind the fact that when we pointed out they got the order wrong, in two seconds flat the correct order was plopped onto our table. By then, we were all quite understandably pissed and in cahoots to eat as slowly as we can so the staff had no choice but to stay at work late. We were the last customers there...after all, with all the blur-cases messing up our entire dinner, should they dare open their mouths and remind us they were closing soon, almost surely they would suffer the wrath of a thousand arrows.

And of course, I still had to pay the service charge. Wait lah you, the moment voluntary 

tipping becomes a practice in this country, mampus you.

That being said, I will never eat at Nando's in Atria Shopping Center ever again!!

Or at least until they change their blur staff.
