A Hidden Café with a Fantastic View of Lisbon

December 4, 2020December 6, 2020 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

Craving Tonkatsu Sauce

December 2, 2020 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 🙂

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

I Made Pasteis de Bacalhau for the First Time

November 29, 2020 myeverydayeats

My Portuguese teacher shared a recipe of Pasteis de Bacalhau and we learned cooking vocabularies. The recipe is pretty simple so why not trying since it’s usually difficult to get freshly made ones at restaurants.

Ingredients: potatoes, bacalhau (dried salted cod), eggs, onion, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, cooking oil

Basically mix them all, shape with two spoons and deep fried.

Lunch: Pasteis de Bacalhau, arroz de tomate, salada @ 1:30 p.m.

It was good for the first time but one thing I could’ve done better is how to desalt bacalhau. I soaked it in the water too long. The bacalhau has lost sufficient salt and flavor 😦

Sweet and a bit sour from cheese or yogurt

There is not much chocolate I expected in the big box…but it’s only 4.49€. I understand.

Our meal schedule is usually breakfast at 7-8 a.m., second breakfast at 10-11 a.m. and lunch 1-2 p.m. Then we have a small snack around 4-6 p.m. only if really hungry. Otherwise, fast from 3 p.m. to 6-7 a.m., roughly for 14-16 hours.

My berry has been much smaller now!

Our Thanksgiving Day in Lisbon

November 26, 2020November 26, 2020 myeverydayeats

I totally forgot that it’s Thanksgiving Day today because the holidays in Portugal and Japan affect our schedule but ones not in the US.

I feel bad that I didn’t prepare something special for it, but it’s only two of us anyway and we are doing “Ficamos em casa” in Portugal, so who cares!?
