We visited Nga Tim on a rainy day in Coloane and got food that lifted our mood, but not into elation. The outdoor tables in the cloisters is quite atmospheric and you certainly feel like you are somewhere different. The service was genuine and we were seated and given a pot of tea to warm our bones. We ordered some chourico, gallina a africana and some grilled sardines.The chourico came first and was delicious, but over-grilled and dry. The next item was the pair of plump little sardines. W
The outdoor tables in the cloisters is quite atmospheric and you certainly feel like you are somewhere different. The service was genuine and we were seated and given a pot of tea to warm our bones. We ordered some chourico, gallina a africana and some grilled sardines.
The chourico came first and was delicious, but over-grilled and dry. The next item was the pair of plump little sardines. We asked for more lemon and then dowsed the fish with the juice. They were simple, but excellent. Cooked perfectly and very fresh, we were very happy.
The chicken came out last and it really wasn't too special. It didn't have coconut milk and it was a bit flat. The chicken was chopped in a way that left lots of sharp bone shards to pick around. It was not the best African chicken we have had and we would recommend that dish from this restaurant.
Basically, we had one good dish and two sub-par ones. All in all, we had an OK lunch, but will not be returning if we visit Coloane in the future.
