One of the Best Bakeries in Lisbon

myeverydayeats
This week the number of new cases increased significantly in Lisbon, so I was thinking to stay home, but changed my mind and took Metro to buy bread at one of the best bakeries, Gleba. Panettone Chocolate (16.99€), Baguete Rústica (1.49€), Brioche (0.65€ x 2)

Baguete (Baguette) is so good with/without butter. I would go buy this again.

Panettone with dark chocolate and hazelnut is amazing! Now I want to try Panettone Classico too.

Organic Market and Lunch with a Friend

myeverydayeats
I went out to ride 24E of tram (Elétrico) after breakfast and a Portuguese wine webinar in the morning.

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.

I brought her back home and had lunch together.

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.

Visiting Honey Producer at a Market

myeverydayeats
Breakfast @ 8:00 a.m.

Leftover lasanha & vinho verde @ 12:10 p.m., We cleaned up the apartment in the afternoon after the contractor left. This morning I did a laundry twice.

Lunch: Napolitan with “shishito (pimento padrão)”

In the afternoon I visited a honey producer/vender at a market. I met the senhor last December at other market. He asked where I was from because his son studied Japanese. Then Bingo! I am Japanese. I offered a language exchange opportunity but his son was too shy to take it. He felt bad for me and offered an opportunity to practice my Portuguese with him instead. Such a nice guy…Today we talked a little more about ourselves in Portuguese and English too. He speaks English very well. Then an elderly assisted by a young policeman passed by in front of his stand. He was so happy to see it and take a moment in a photo. I bought a jar of lavender honey and honey vinegar. Also, cheese and “guanciale” at other vender.

Last Ovos Moles from Aveiro @ 7:30 p.m.

Peruvian Empanada from Las Cholas

myeverydayeats
This morning I went to El Corte Inglés Supermercado.

There are so many good stuffs. I bought two bottles of wine, sushi rice, snack and salmon roe today. Next time I would like to try Guanciale and smoked salmon.

In front of the supermarket, there is a little stand for Peruvian Empanadas. I decided to try 4 kinds and Alfajor.

I was waiting for a bus but even a single bus didn’t come through. After 20 minute-wait, I switched to Metro.

Empanada time @ 11:40 a.m.

Left top to right: Spinach & cheese, tuna & tomato, eggplant & quinoa, duck & orange

I like duck and quinoa best.

Tried salmon roe too.

Lunch @ 2:40 p.m., Salmon roe itself doesn’t take like Japanese one because it’s much smaller and slightly sour. However, it becomes totally Japanese once adding wasabi and nori 🙂

I love Alfajor! So soft and perfectly sweet.

Breakfast: Avocado Toast, melon, coffee @ 8:00 a.m.

Try a Canned Fish Roe

myeverydayeats
Tried a canned fish roe (ovas de pescada). It’s not bad.

Lunch alone @ 12:40 p.m., Peperoncino with broccolini & mini tomatoes. I experimented to add fish roe. Since it’s not salty enough, I added butter and soy sauce too. Not bad…kinda good 🙂

My experimental continues…with cream cheese on bread. Then truffle and wine.

Walking around the Central Lisbon

myeverydayeats
Breakfast: Apple pastry & smoked salmon sandwich, coffee @ 8-9:00 a.m.

Summer time starts today in Portugal. We took Metro to Cais do Sodré to walk around the central Lisbon. There were not many people, I assume only locals since the country has been closed and restricts travel between municipalities until Easter.

We can resist anything but freshly baked Portuguese egg tarts. So good 🙂

Stopped by a Asian market to get soba, ramen & curry (total 13€)

Lunch: Leftover curry rice & bacalhau com natas @ 1:00 p.m.

Another egg tart with cinnamon & tea @ 3:15 p.m.

Getting hungry @ 7:00 p.m., banana chips & nuts @ 8:00 p.m.

Pan Roasted Duck Magret

myeverydayeats
I had looked for duck breast for last several months and finally found it (6.29€, 13.49€/kg). I wished to get one never frozen but it seems no place sells only fresh breast and a friend tells me that the frozen is tasty too.

Lunch: Duck Magret with wine sauce, nabiças, Alentejano red @ 1:30 p.m.

Our favorite winery so far. This bottle is only 10€ but it has elegant aroma and complex taste. He loves especially after taste.

We enjoy wine with cheese and moelas (chicken gizzard) before lunch @ 12:00 p.m.

Dessert: chocolate covered cookie & cream (dark chocolate & pistachio)

Instant noodle with egg @ 4:30 p.m., I really don’t like this Pingo Doce brand.

Grocery Shopping @ Mercado

myeverydayeats
I went to Mercado 31 de Janeiro to buy seafood and fruit, that are not available at most supermarkets.

2 cheese (5€), 2 wines (21€), strawberries (4€), grelos (some green in season 1€), leitão (roasted pork 9€), salmonete (a whole fish 12€), fish egg (3€), Freixo (Alentejo) is our favorite!

We started with wine and cheese & strawberries. He had pork too @ 12:30 p.m.

I had salmonete sashimi and he had it sauteed.

This is Salmonete, which I found so tasty at a sushi restaurant in Lisbon.

I made “Tarako” Spaghetti with fish egg, butter and soy sauce. Simple but good 🙂

Yogurt to finish the day @ 7:10 p.m.
