Chop Steak (Costeletas)

myeverydayeats
Breakfast: Caldo verde, rustic bread & butter @ 8:15 a.m.

We went to a supermarket after breakfast. In Lisbon most supermarkets have seafood sections like this. Isn’t it amazing!?

Picked up our favorite bread as well. It tastes simply like wheat by the slow fermentation process. This huge bread, probably 500-750g with a lot of love costs only 3€.

A Hidden Café with a Fantastic View of Lisbon

myeverydayeats
I had brunch with a friend at the cafe she found. It’s truly hidden and I would never know there was a cafe inside from the street.

Salmon salad (8€), Avocado toast (4.50€), Today’s soup (2€), a glass of white wine (3€) @ 11:45 a.m.

On the day, the weather was unstable, clear and raining then clear again with a rainbow!

We had dessert and coffee too (12:45 p.m.). Everything was so tasteful and service was very comfy. Love it!

Later on (3:50 p.m.) we had hot chocolate. It was the best! Rich not too sweet and good amount of cacao. Just perfect for me @ Chocolataria Equador

Tonkotsu Ramen @ Kapitan

myeverydayeats
My lunch: Tonkotsu Ramen & Portuguese beer (Super Bock) @ 2:00 p.m.

It was not bad although noodle was obviously overcooked. Broth and chashu were nice. It reminded me of ramen in Southern California I used to live.

Craving Tonkatsu Sauce

myeverydayeats
I was craving Japanese ‘Tonkatsu Sauce’ so I made Menchi-Katsu for lunch @ 1:45 p.m.

It’s interesting the katsu tastes like Portuguese dish without sauce but becomes Japanese with sauce. He had it with black pepper instead 🙂

Dessert: Cheesecake ice bar @ 3:40 p.m.

Later the afternoon, I prepared ‘Caldo verde’ for tomorrow.
