Visiting Sintra

May 20, 2021May 21, 2021 myeverydayeats

We went to visit a friend in Sintra, 40 minute away from Lisbon by train. Basically I wanted to make sure how he’s been doing during pandemic since he is a certified tour guide and obviously there have been a lot less tourists. First we caught up at a cafe that served excellent Apple Tart.

He took us to Azenhas do Mar, where we enjoyed amazing views!

I mentioned I loved Portuguese wines, then he introduced us to this excellent wine cellar, which still grows one of the oldest grapes. Amazing!!!

He was going back to work around noon, but ended up enjoying lunch with us. I love it. Truly appreciated he spent more time with us. Since everything is under the red umbrella, food doesn’t look in the pictures but it’s all delicious. Especially I love the steak and sauce!

For anyone who wonders who he is…

Nuno Moura, a certified tour guide based in Sintra, Portugal, but he could give a tour in Lisbon and surrounding areas as well.

Friend’s Birthday Lunch @ Ponto Final

May 18, 2021May 19, 2021 myeverydayeats

Ponto Final @ 1:40 p.m., We invited a friend to have lunch together for her birthday. This restaurant has an amazing view of Lisbon from the other side of Tejo River. Obviously there is less regulation but more self-responsibility for the safety hazards 😛

Sandwich lunch @ Pão Pão Queijo Queijo (it means “something black and white”), they serve “Subway style” sandwich and it’s pretty good. Of course we can’t miss the original Portuguese egg tarts, Pasteis de Belém.

Visiting Friends to Start a Project

May 13, 2021May 14, 2021 myeverydayeats

I started a project with a friend/photographer to interview and photograph locals in Portugal. Today we are visiting two friends to help us to move the project forward. Also, they will be the first interviewees for us. Took a train from Rossio Station, which is like a museum.

They made us lunch. I was not expecting to make good friends like them during pandemic. I am so lucky or maybe it wouldn’t be difficult to make a friend if you open up yourself like we all do when children. By the way he uses sake cup, I brought as a gift from Japan as espresso cup. That works well.

On the train back to Lisbon, I felt so sick…We took a break at the legendary café Nicola. A little bird visited our table.

Hospital & LX Factory

May 9, 2021May 9, 2021 myeverydayeats

I received a message from a friend last night but read it this morning. It says his wife has been sick and needs my help to communicate with doctors and nurses in the hospital. So I took taxi there. I had a nice conversation with the taxi driver in Portuguese and told him that I loved taxi ride in Portugal. Drivers are professional and price is very clear. We checked in for an emergency service and spent more than 3 hours, getting consultation, blood & urine tests, IV and doctor’s follow up with the test. It was basically a pleasant experience.

She felt much better after the doctor confirmed all tests resulted normal. So we went to LX Factory for lunch! I found there were no more the bar with a famous sculpture and Drag Taste there. Sad…:(

I am talking about this and this…These were the symbols of LX Factory…Pandemic has affected so many places…

This line runs through a neighborhood where a friend lives, so we met up at the organic market nearby. I bought strawberries, bread, tomato and arugula.

Main course was Spaghetti Carbonara with this Portuguese “Guanciale” but I forgot to take a picture. Comparing to Guanciale that I usually buy from an Italian Deli, this is much saltier. Unfortunately I prefer the Italian one.

Gelato and coffee @ 4:00 p.m., Nice weather but a bit cool in the shade.
