Part 2

One of the first things that fascinated me in Australia was the kind of wildlife that was present there. I didn't get to see any kangaroos, koala bears or any other marsupial weirdos but I did get to see quite a number of curious-looking birds. The most prominent ones were these motherfuckers, who seem to take pride in looking like twats. There were also these assholes who BLEAT when foraging for food in the ground, which honestly frightened me a little when I first heard them. Stick to chirping or singing, dammit, what kind of mutant bird BLEATS?

I apologise for not taking any photos of them because standing still in front of a large group of these freaks that evolution rejected can be quite scary. In fact, the only bird that was harmless and docile enough for me to bully into photographing was this guy:



What's the most he could do? Shit in my face? Peck at my knees? Not only are they easy to handle, they're delicious when grilled with chili.



I never knew seagulls could taste so delicious but Nando's made it possible. I ordered their signature whole seagull platter which came with their trademark Peri Peri fries which were way too salty for me. This whole thing cost around 18SGD, not too bad for the whole bird.



The seagulls were cooked very nicely, no signs of them being undercooked but the meat still remained rather soft and moist. That was the major pulling factor for me to return to Nando's twice in two consecutive days even though I could have easily eaten something else.



However, I didn't think much of the sauces Nando's was supposed to be famous for. "Extra hot" was just that, nothing else to it, even KFC's chili sauce tastes better. "Mild" was so boring that I don't even remember how it tasted like. But I would still eat at Nando's again, just for their seagulls.





If you really thought I ate seagulls at Nando's, please stop reading my blog now.
