por Lisboa

Na 6ª fui provar o melhor pão de ló do universo, e hoje fomos a um dos melhores brunches de Lisboa.

Café Malaca

On Sunday we took some friends for lunch here. I'd been there before a couple of weeks ago with other friends for dinner, and we had loved it. As usual for me with restaurants, the second time is the real test to see if it becomes a favorite or not. It was even better, I think. We loved the house curry and the soft shell crabs, and were too full to order any dessert (besides, we had another idea for that as you can see below)






Mel das Arábias

Later we decided to go in search of this place. I've been a fan of baklavas ever since we had them in Turkey, and I'd been dying to have some ever since we came back. So when A. told me there was a pastry shop in Lisbon that sold them I knew we'd have to go there.

The verdict ? They're not comparable to the ones we had in Istanbul, but they're good enough for me to stop being so nostalgic about them. And with a cup of mint tea, they were actually almost perfect.
