Praise Vectron!

Walked to Angelo's Portugalia in Kensington with an appetite that'd been building for eight hours. Began with a Sagres pale lager and a bowl of garlic mushrooms in a chilli cream sauce garnished with spring onions. The mushies were mindblowing and I spooned up every skerrick of sauce. Next was a Sagres Preta dark ale and a plate of "bacalhau a bras", a Lisbon dish of scrambled eggs mixed with shredded cod, potato and onion, topped with black olives and parsley. Hearty and delicious - I could eat it on a regular basis. (On the side, perhaps unnecessarily, a bowl of pea and carrot rice that I believe was cooked in chicken stock.) Dessert was a glass of port and a creme caramel that had a hint of orange about it. What a meal! I'm still on a high. Can't wait to return there and try the peri-peri chicken livers, the homemade pickles, the char-grilled rump, the rest of the booze menu...
