Tangy lemon, mild peri, very peri or supa peri?

1/4 Chicken Meal - I was glad that the grilled chicken turned out to be pretty tender and juicy, although the flavour didn't manage to penetrate into the deep layers of the meat. I chose the veri peri sauce to go with the chicken which was only slightly aromatic and of medium heat. The garlic rolls (side) had a pretty strong garlic aroma, but they were slightly soggy. On the other hand, the lightly salted sautéed mushrooms and potatoes (side) were pretty delectable without being overly greasy.
Twin Mixed Chicken and Beef Skewers - I initially wanted to get the twin beef skewers, but the person said that only the twin chicken or the mixed skewers were available. Logic? However, I suppose I was pretty lucky to be able to avoid a second beef skewer since it was a bit tough, although the beef flavour was actually pretty good. The chicken skewer, on the other hand, was pretty tender, but not as juicy as the grilled chicken mentioned earlier. I chose the tangy lemon sauce to go with the skewers, and it was somewhat more bitter than tangy. The vegetables used for the salad were pretty fresh, but they could be more generous with the mayonnaise. Lastly, there wasn't anything to rave about the spicy rice which was slightly more flavourful than plain rice.
Coleslaw - I ordered an additional side dish of coleslaw to help fulfil my daily vegetable requirements. Well, there wasn't anything special about the shredded cabbages dressed with buttermilk and mayonnaise, but they were adequately fresh and sweet.

One of the Worst Services and Food Ever Experienced
17 Oct 2012ate at the Vivocity brance on Tue around 6.10PM. upon arrival, no staff attended to me for 3 minutes. then one of them with a mohawk casually told me to wait while he chit-chats with his colleagues, and i stand there waiting to make my order. mohawk guy couldn't even be bothered to speak properly and take down my orders properly. didn't even pass me my can of drink and the tag number, i have to reach over the counter to get it myself. upon getting my meal, my fries were soggy and not cooked all the way through. like they were boiled and not fried. even though me and my fiancee were the only customers, tables around me were left with dirty dishes. condiments were not topped up. when we left, the staff (7-8) were loitering near the entrance, chit-chatting and then stared at me and my fiancee like we were interrupting their conversation and didn't even bother to say "Thank you, come again" or something like that. felt very unwelcomed and food was terrible. not coming here ever again

Not Good
22 Sep 2012Went to the Vivo-City Barcelos because I had a groupon voucher. Have previously been to their Novena Square 2 outlet.
First impression was poor, having to order at the counter so no time to comfortably look through the menu. Then they didnt have what my wife ordered. Drinks were from cans as their machine was out of order so that means smaller drinks for the normal price.
My meal arrived very quickly but my wife had to wait 5 minutes longer. If i order 2 meals its normal to get them together!
My chicken skewers were tasty but the salad with it was old and brown. My wife had the Chicken pita which was ok but quickly became soggy and fell to pieces. not great.
Not great food, miserable staff and an untidy dining area.
Won't be going back
