Day 124 | September 27

After securing my Pasteis de Belem yesterday I decided to continue my tour of Pasteis de Nata and get a couple from Manteigaria this morning which, supposedly has even better pastries than the original Belem bakery. Having now had them I can confirm that this is true. I did think they were better but it could be a matter of taste. The ones in Belem were more thick and “eggy” whereas Manteigaria had a smoother more custard taste that I liked better. That was about as much adventure as I could stomach for one morning, though, so after that I got back to my normal routine. Headed over to Copenhagen Coffee Lab and then went on to Galerias to work for the rest of the day. I had an unusually long day, the upshot of which was that by the time I finished there were actually restaurants open for dinner! I’d heard good things about Sea Me and it is right on my way home so I decided to try that for dinner. On the way I spotted the exact pair of sunglasses that I’ve been trying to find for two years… sadly the store they were in was closed so I had to continue living without them. Sea Me was easily the best sushi I’ve had since leaving America and they try and introduce some little Portugese elements into the sushi which makes for a novel take on the dishes and a nice change of pace. Naturally, I ended up sitting next to some folks who lived in Colorado as well. After the greatest struggle I’ve ever undertaken to get and pay my bill I finally got home a little late by my standards and was down for the evening.
