里斯本 食好嘢!
Lisbon, Good Food!






我在里斯本吃得最好,因為幸運地與CS Host Angela、Kico住在一塊。
Angela&Kico很會煮菜,家後院是一片菜田,又崇尚有機食物,餐餐都食得營養均衡,好開心!
Angela說「焗蘋果」是葡萄牙傳統名菜,簡單易整,就在家教我煮,蘋果先洗淨,加麵皮,下橙皮吊味,再放入焗爐,完成。
焗蘋果温温軟軟綿綿,感覺似一個温熱的蘋果,很有趣。
Angela&Kico家中有一盒梨醬「Marmelada」,我第一次吃到,在超市有售,在葡萄牙應該很常見,但在香港從未見過,梨醬用來塗麵包,不太甜,微酸,很開胃!
我也想讓Angela&Kico嚐嚐港式甜品,於是挑戰紅豆燉奶,原來紅豆在里斯本不常見,Kico帶我到一間華人雜貨店去找,那北方店主無賣紅豆,最後在一間葡人主理的有機食品店找到紅豆,仲有大小紅豆之分呢!
但我煮的燉奶只凝固了一半,另一半還是液體,算是半成功吧……
Angela&Kico最喜歡的反而是煮紅豆塗麵包,名乎其實的紅豆包!
我從香港帶蝦子麵去歐洲,普遍Host一聽「蝦卵」就不肯吃,Angela&Kico反而對蝦子麵讚不絕口,我回到香港後,再寄了幾包蝦子麵去葡萄牙給他們,希望他們也喜歡吃「碎麵」(即使包了泡泡紙,麵餅也易碎)啦!
來到葡萄牙,當然要食正宗葡攤,但出乎意料,葡萄牙葡攤反而不及香港葡攤好食!
葡萄牙葡攤是凍食,餅底太軟,比較「塌」,餅心的「蛋」似「一劈嘢」;香港葡攤多數有暖爐保温,入口時還是暖的,餅底較脆,而有「千層脆」咬感,餅心的「蛋」也較有層次感。
但我只在遊客區食過一次葡萄牙葡攤,下次應該找一間正宗餅店再食過!
我在葡萄牙第一次看見墨魚汁炒飯,整碟飯黑漆漆的,非常特別!原來黑墨魚汁略帶甜味,很好吃啊!
Wendy與我在遊客區吃這墨魚汁炒飯,當日我忘記帶錢包,謝謝Wendy請我食飯!!
在葡萄牙第一次吃到兔肉了,我是在Church of Santa Engrácia市集旁邊的餐廳吃到,印象中不算貴,兔肉挺嫩,配薯條吃很不錯!
I had the best food experience in Lisbon because I was living with CS Host Angela and Kico.
Angela&Kico cook well. They have a little vege farm in their backyard and they prefer organic food. I had nutritious meals every day at their home, so happy!
Angela said ‘Baked Apple’ is a famous traditional Portuguese dish and it is easy to make. First clean the apples then add some flour and add some orange skin for flavouring and put them in the oven. Finish.
Baked Apple tasted warm, soft and sweet. It just like a heated apple, funny!
There is a ‘Marmelada’ pear jam in Angela&Kico home and that was my first time to try a Marmelada pear jam. It can be bought in the local supermarket and it’s common in Lisbon but I have never seen it in Hong Kong. Marmelada is for bread, not so sweet, a little sour, yummy!
I try to cook ‘Red bean with solid milk’, a Hong Kong dessert for Angela&Kico to try. I was surprise that red bean was not a common food in Lisbon. Kico took me to a Chinese shop but the Chinese boss from North China did not sell red bean. We found red bean in a local organic store finally. They even sold big red bean and small red bean!
But the solid milk just half solidify and half liquid. Well, I suppose it was still a half success…
Angela&Kico love putting red bean on bread. They must try the famous baked red bean bread in Hong Kong!
I brought some shrimp-egg noodle with me to Europe. Most of my hosts didn’t dare to try the noodle once they knew it was made from shrimp egg but Angela&Kico LOVE the shrimp egg noodle.
I sent them a few packs of shrimp egg noodle from Hong Kong to Portugal when I back home. I hope they like the ‘broken noodle’! (the noodle would still break even I wrapped them in layers of bubble paper…)
Portuguese tart is a must-try food in Portugal. But the Portuguese tart in Hong Kong tasted better than the Portuguese tart in PORTUGAL (for me)!
Portuguese tart in Portugal was eaten in cold. The tart base was too soft and the ‘egg’ in between taste like mud.
Portuguese tarts in Hong Kong always keep warm in ovens and always eat warm. The base is crispy like a thousand layers and the ‘egg’ in between are good.
But I just tried one Portuguese tart in the tourist area. I should find a good cake shop and eat again next time!
I saw this black cuttlefish fried rice first time in Portugal. It was all black and very special! The black thing tasted a bit sweet and yummy!
Wendy and I ate this black cuttlefish fried rice in the tourist area. Thanks Wendy for the dinner because I forgot to bring my wallet that day!
I ate the rabbit meat for the first time in Portugal! I have them near the market in Church of Santa Engrácia. It was not expensive as I could remember.
The rabbit meat was tender and it was good with French Fries.
