Hubby has been meaning to treat us here for the longest time, but we only got the chance to eat at Peri-Peri last August 13, 2011.
Trivia: Portuguese settlers discovered the bird’s eye chilli known as Peri-Peri or Piri-Piri in South Africa. This, combined with special herbs and spices, is what gives the Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken its unique flavor. Peri-Peri has no preservatives and no artificial flavors or colorants. It’s also rich in Vitamins A and C, it reduces cholesterol, and it’s also an aphrodisiac!
We tried their “soup and beverage all you want promo” for only Php49.00.
We had Pumpkin and Carrot Soup and Mushroom Soup.
We liked the pumpkin and carrot soup more than the mushroom soup.
Our drinks were okay, plus they’re bottomless, so we couldn’t complain!
We loved the taste of this! It’s really flavorful even without the gravy. The secret here is that they marinate their chicken for 24 hours before grilling it on charcoal. We also liked that they trim their chicken of excess fat, so customers get delicious and healthy chicken.
The famous coleslaw was creamy and delicious, but the mixed vegetables were quite bland.
Our bellies were full when we left the place.

oh, so this is what peri-peri is! i’ve passed them at mega but haven’t tried the yet (i’m not really fond of chicken ;p) but the trivia you shared sounds interesting.
I’ve been seeing this resto a few times already, and looks like I’m going to try them out! That peri-peri looks good!
Thanks so much for dropping by Sassy Chef Recipes and Reviews!♥

Is it like chicken inasal? Looks good!
Peri peri, another restaurant to be included in my list to visit, all those I learned from this site, Delights My Appetite. I should go to Megamall one time for Food Trip together with my kids. .
Bakit parang dry naman yun Peri-Peri chicken?
wow, its great deal…unlimited soup and drinks, we will enjoy there! anyway, whole grilled chicken sounds really yummy. thanks for the information about the resto, sana makakain kami dyan! visiting you back from FTF, thanks for your comment…very much appreciated! have a great weekend. 🙂
I’ve been curious about this restaurant whenever we’re in Megamall but hubby is not a fan of trying out new food. The side dish are really cheap but looks like nothing special. Perhaps it’s just the chicken that they could be really proud of?
Visiting via FTF.
my golly…nakakagutom…sarap naman…what a treat! thanks for sharing the trivia….sarap pag bottomless ang drinks…ehehehe!
i wanna try the chicken
The chicken looks like inasal, dry looking but tasty. The bottomless drinks and soup are a steal for P49! 🙂
We ate there once but we found their chicken a bit dry though.
