Menu do Dia @ Ideal

We finally got a key for our new apartment, but haven’t moved completely because of no internet there yet.

I was waiting for Vodafone at new apartment while he was working at Airbnb. Vodafone was supposed to come and install it between 8:30-11:30 today but somehow they rescheduled for 11:30-2:30 tomorrow.

He joined me there and we went out for lunch at the restaurant we had the first meal a month ago.

Mine: Vitela Assada, the server asked me what side I wanted and what I only recognize his saying was “batata frita (frech fries).”

I tried something new, Molotoff (meringue pudding). Very light with 90% of air 🙂

I tried ‘Carioca,’ secondhand espresso too. It’s good but no crema. It tastes like brewed coffee. Of course, cheio is better.

This place could be our regular but I don’t feel attached as much as calçada 28 yet.

 

Later the day, we went to power company (EDP) and Water company (EPAL) to change the name on the contracts with our realtor. She has been very helpful.

We walked down the Avenida da Liberdade and had a break for ice cream at the end of avenue.

Such a charming place. They close from Christmas season to March because no one wants ice cream in winter.
