Vietnam's Chickita Flame Grilled Chicken in Singapore

1/4 Chicken Leg

From the outside, this place at City Square Mall looked like a copy of Nando's, right down to the colorful decor and the selection of hot sauces to go with your grilled chicken (180 Kitchener Road #04-33, 6531-0583). But this is actually a chain from Vietnam. The Vietnamese influence wasn't very obvious at first glance, but some of it came through with the lemongrass-based sauces and a few small things like tofu in the soup.

Otherwise, this was a lot like Nando's. The food wasn't anything to get terribly excited about, but at least the chicken was moist, while the sauces were better than I thought they would be (i.e., not too syrupy nor sour, even if they weren't very spicy). I guess one could argue that the sauces made this place a little more unique, but it's still just a plasticky chain restaurant that I won't make an effort to run back to.
