リスボンの美味しい日記
Fresh cheese tastes mild and smooth like dessert. Not sweet but texture is like pudding. 5 or 6 pieces of prosciutto was 1€.
I was going to try a really cheap Portuguese wine between 1-2€, but I was not brave enough and chose one 5€ from Douro. Very smooth and easy to drink.
He suggested to go to one of our favorites for lunch today. It’s located on top of hill but we need to go pick up the rest of our stuff at Airbnb nearby, so it was actually a great idea.
Total: 15.10€ + 1€ tip
The gentleman in the counter thought I was Chinese and was so surprised when I told him I didn’t speak Chinese. Japanese is so minor in the world and I share a hurtful feeling when a Portuguese person is being confused with Spanish…
I tried to cook something like Arroz de Pato (Duck rice), which tasted amazing at Casçada 28.
I used baked chicken instead of duck and add onion, garlic, bell pepper, olives, chorizo, tomato paste and bouillon.
We want to try our favorite dessert, Doce da Casa, but they didn’t have one.
Total: 18.45€ including glass wine 1.10€ x2
It’s still a good deal for good quality of meal, but Calçada 28 is the best for overall. No one can beat their 8€ all inclusive lunch with 500ml amazing wine, dessert and cafe.
We are happy about the new apartment but definitely miss the neighborhood of Airbnb.
We should definitely come back this neighborhood often in the future.
Vodafone came and said they were not able to install internet because of the rain. Ok…
Then Vodafone called they were coming back because rain stopped. I quickly went back to the apartment and he joined later the night since internet got finally set up. Yay!!!
We finally got a key for our new apartment, but haven’t moved completely because of no internet there yet.
I was waiting for Vodafone at new apartment while he was working at Airbnb. Vodafone was supposed to come and install it between 8:30-11:30 today but somehow they rescheduled for 11:30-2:30 tomorrow.
He joined me there and we went out for lunch at the restaurant we had the first meal a month ago.
Later the day, we went to power company (EDP) and Water company (EPAL) to change the name on the contracts with our realtor. She has been very helpful.
We walked down the Avenida da Liberdade and had a break for ice cream at the end of avenue.
Walking around Chiado with Christmas lights.
We went to Marionette Museum and LX Factory, a transformed community from warehouses into restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and offices. This place reminds me of the Artist District and Brewery Artist Lofts in Los Angeles.
Total: 15€ + 1€ tip
***********************************************************
We went to Setúbal by train because he had an appointment at SEF.
Total was 25€. I think we should stick to places the locals go even when it’s the first time to be there in town. It would be a bit intimidating but be absolutely better experience not only lower price but also we would know what real food is there.
