Community Games 2013 x A Scrumptious Nando's Dinner

Hey there hot chickens!

Yesterday I was invited to an awesome dinner hosted by the very sweet Calvin Timo (<< link is clickable) at Tanglin Mall's Nando's. Yes, Nando's. Now you know why I had that odd greeting! Anyway, the point of the dinner wasn't just to try the delicious new dishes to the menu (I'll get to that later) but also to spread awareness about Community Games 2013!

What are Community Games, Miranda?
Well, young grasshopper, The Community Games 2013is a multi-sports competition held across the island, bringing the Games to the heart of the community and connecting residents of different ages, races and living across estates. 
The sports featured under CG 2013 are Badminton, Basketball, Bowling, Dragon Boat, Football, Netball, Road Run and Sepaktakraw, Swimming and Table Tennis.  

For more information about Community Games (i.e. how to join), do visit their website >> http://www.pacsc.org.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=1148215

Now let me get started on the FOOD!!!
When we arrived at Nando's at 7pm, the restaurant was decorated with little 'sporty' ornaments. Calvin actually went out specially to get some miniature sporting equipment! How thoughtful! The kind people of Nando's also provided us bloggers with a Nando's T-shirt and a membership card!

The story behind the talking fruit: Nando's actually JUST LAUNCHED a new dish and we were the lucky ones to get to try it first! 

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...
Mango Chicken wraps, burgers & pockets!

Topped off with Nandos' famous Peri Peri sauce, this tantalizing dish is definitely a dish to try. Somehow the mangoes actually bring out the spiciness of the Peri Peri sauce. The flavour just works harmoniously! So good! *drools* 

Dinner with the blogger was sooo much fun! We all chatted about our favourite sports and some of them even played table tennis on the dinning table! Haha!! 

That's all for today lovelies!
