As part of their grand opening, they have a special, limited period only item on the menu &#8212;&#8212;the Cataplana. According to the menu, \u201cCataplana Originale is a traditional Portuguese dish of perfectly flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken thighs, simmered with fresh strips of bell peppers, tossed with courgettes, onions and ripe tomatoes and served on a bed of spicy rice.\u2019\u2019\u00a0 This is at a price of Malaysian Ringgit RM$25.90.\u00a0 They also have another version, the Cataplana Porto, where the above vegetables are replaced by olives and button mushrooms and a sprinkle of parsley.\u00a0 Both versions are served in an authentic copper dish. The menu also recommends \u201cBest paired with a refreshing Rosa Fresca designer drink at RM7.90 for the perfect feast\u201d and elsewhere in the menu, \u201cRosa Fresca is a delicious blend of pomengranate and mint syrup, fresh lime juice and icy-cold Sprite.\u201d I chose the Cataplana Porto.\u00a0 The portion is kinda of small.\u00a0 It may be all right for a female diner, but I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s enough for a male.\u00a0 For RM$25.90, the dish felt lacking in value. The Rosa Fresca felt like a waste of money.\u00a0 Did they forget the mint syrup and fresh lime juice?\u00a0 I certainly did not taste any of these in my drink, though I am quite sure they would have lifted the drink.\u00a0 As it was, the drink was simply sugary and sweet, lacking in levels of taste and stimulation. On a positive note, the server brought me a big glass of ice water, though I have previously been refused at Nando\u2019s Malacca.\u00a0 Improvement of service or inconsistency of service? The contact details below are strictly for informational purposes only since I do not recommend Cataplana.\u00a0 You might find better value with their Peri-Peri chicken (approx RM$16 for quarter chicken and approx RM$25 for half chicken).
