Flashback Brazil 2011
I remember the food to be extremely expensive, and everything was salty. Including the rice, but we did have some favorite Brazilian meals.
We loved going to Bar do Juarez for the picanha (beef rump) which is served raw, and then you cook it yourself. |
We also visited the Mercado Municipal (Central Market) in Sao Paulo for their Pasteis (pastry filled with meat, cheese or Bacalao). |
We also went to Liberdade (Japantown) and I remember they had giant dumplings. People normally just buy from the market and eat while walking or standing around. |
Back to Brasas
Brasas has dishes from different places in Latin America but nothing really reminded me of our Brazil staples. |
When we arrived, Pami and Looloo Queen Carol, already ordered some starters so we got to try the Arepas (Grilled beef on Corn Cakes) and Patacones (Pulled Pork on Crispy Plantain-Banana Chips). I think they were ok, the sauces made them better, but I don't think I'd be craving for them in the future.
Ady arrived just as we finished eating, so we asked her to get us dessert to share.
We ordered the Carne Asada Fries for a second round of starters, and this one was my favorite! Thick fries, with beef and chili, topped with cheese, salsa and sauce. Yummy!!! This, I would crave for. |
Ady arrived just as we finished eating, so we asked her to get us dessert to share.
Sofia didn't really find anything to order on the menu. The good thing is Sumosam is just beside Brasas and they allowed us to order Tempura for Sofia. They even delivered it to our table and brought us the bill.
I enjoyed our dinner at Brasas. The pricing was reasonable at Php100+ for starters, and P200+ for their main dishes. It's definitely better than my memories of salty, expensive everyday food from Brazil so we will definitely be back. just saying.
