A Caldeirada de Peixe in Sesimbra

May 15, 2021May 19, 2021 myeverydayeats

I was invited to a friend’s house in Sesimbra.

Bread, cheese and vegetables produced by locals and fish & seafood caught by local fishermen. How precious and delicious everything was on the table. We opened 5 bottles, 2 whites and 3 reds. This is called, Happiness.

Later on we enjoyed sangria and spent on beach 5:40 – 8:00 p.m.

Grocery Shopping @ Mercado & Mercearia

March 5, 2021March 6, 2021 myeverydayeats

I went to Mercado 31 de Janeiro, a traditional market in Lisbon.

A good place to buy fresh fruits and seafood. Of course Portuguese cheese and wine too.

Today I didn’t go to a supermarket but shopped all grocery @ mercado and mercearia (little grocery store).

Lunch: Queijo fresco (fresh cheese), olive, bread, strawberries, leitão (roasted pork), wine @ 12:10 p.m., This Dão white wine has a clean taste. Everything else tasted so good.

I was taught at a fish market that Portugueses either boiled or grill cod eggs, so I grilled. It tasted good without any seasoning but better with a little bit salt or soy sauce.

Portuguese Tapas Night At Home

November 30, 2019November 30, 2019 myeverydayeats

We were taking easy and enjoying wine and tapas this evening. Starting @ 5:30pm. Queijo Fresco and Presunto (fresh cheese and prosciutto)

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.

Sauteed Chouriço with garlic, onion and bell pepper. He loved this dish.

We tried Sardine Pate, a friend recommends

Best Pasteis de Nata & Brazilian BBQ

November 16, 2019November 16, 2019 myeverydayeats

Because it was clear today, we went out for a best pasteis de nata, vodafone shop and pollux for home goods.

It’s said that this is one of best places for Pasteis de Nata.

11:50am on Saturday, there was no line but quite full inside.

Cafe cheio x2 & Pasteis de Nata x 2 = 3.40 euros

Lunch @ Sabor Gaucho, Brazilian Steakhouse

Prato do Dia, Chicken + Water (5.90 euros)

Mine: Mista de Carnes + Water (7.60 euros)

After lunch, we checked out Pollux for towels, sheets or other home goods since we are moving into a new place next week. Figuring out if we should go Ikea or Pollux.

Strawberry yogurt drink in the afternoon

Trying 1 euro cheese from Talho (butcher)

Easy dinner @ 6pm: Tuna & Spinach pasta, Chicken soup

************************************************

7:30am: Pão de Ló from Pingo Doce, a supermercado

It’s said that this is an origin of Castella, Japanese sponge cake famous in Nagasaki. It doesn’t taste same but more like pound cake (lighter and less sweet). I love it.

Walking on Avenida de Liberdade

November 12, 2019November 13, 2019 myeverydayeats

I remember that it was 5am when I checked the clock. When I checked the clock again to get up, it was somehow 7am already. Yes, I slept twice!

7am: Croissant with custard cream from a neighborhood bakery

This is not a perfect croissant but we both love its richness with custard cream.

We were still hungry and had another pastry of coconut and cinnamon. Interesting combination.

Lunch @ 1:25pm: Leftover pasta with wine

I took a bus to Marquês de Pombal and walked down the Avenida de Liberdade (Avenue of Freedom) to Praça da Figueira to pick up some pastries at Confeitaria Nacional while he was studying Portuguese at home.
