Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
Frango Piri-Piri, por favor. Sem batatas fritas ou arroz. Quero salada verde ou legumes cozidos. Confirma que o molho não tem açúcar?
Frango Piri-Piri, please. No fries or rice. I'd like a green salad or steamed vegetables. Confirm no sugar in the sauce.

Piri-piri sauce can sometimes contain sugar for balance (confirm with restaurant), traditional side dishes like fries/rice are high carb and must be avoided.
