i am from trinidad we cook canned mackerel with dumplings or rice... and it does always come out good because we always season our food proper... same with canned corned beef
Love your videos, since the start pandemic i don't go to lisbon that often, in the beggining of the video. Was where i lived during my college times. what a nostalgic moment, to start the video for me
The Post-Credit eating was a really nice touch. Whatever that was in the wrap looked amazing considering all that I could see was pita and a mountain of well-seasoned meat. These are the sort of videos that made me fall in love with this channel because I can imagine going to each and every one of these places if I were ever able to visit Portugal and I could do so without busting the bank.
Welcome to my country. I hope you had a blast!!!! Next time, give me a shout, and you'll come to my family farm and eat some homegrown food!!!! Keep up the good work!!
❤️ Sardines!!!🤗 They're definitely one of those 'iykyk' items.. I habitually buy the purple tin from Trader Joe's, (lightly smoked in oil, product of Portugal), and they're identical to the Bela brand which tj's carried prior to the rebranding... I keep them in the fridge and enjoy over a couple of crusty toasty chunks of bread... A great, light snack. ✨️👍
Belas is probably the best "store shelf" brand you can buy. If you have the ability, I highly recommend buying some cans of Nuris spiced sardines either on amazon or in specialty stores. They will blow your mind. A couple bucks more than belas or TJ's, but definitely worth it as a treat :)
This time I came prepared. Had slow cooked baby back ribs and a perfectly dressed up baked potato while watching this and for a change I wasn't jealous of Mikey.
I swear I almost screamed when I saw the chocolate soufflé!!! 10:47 My mother in law is an amazing cook and makes this exact chocolate soufflé for get togethers, with the crackly shell and runny chocolate middle. 🤤
A year ago, I was in Portugal, and ate at the seafood rice, and egg tart place. They are as good as he says. The pork sandwiches are everywhere, and they are all good. Food was cheap, and it was all way beyond good, particularly the pork. I never knew pork could be so good. In Porto, you must get a Francesinha sandwich. It is the best sandwich I have ever had. It's and open face sandwich drenched in an amazing sauce, with multiple meats. If you have not been to Portugal, go.
That last shop was and still os my favorite place to eat in Lisbon.....and that chocolate cake its made in house... Its brigadeiro de chocolate -chocolate Brigadear Cake. You should've try the pita with their homemade garlic sauce!
Welcome to Portugal, Mikey! Next time you come over you should give francesinha and arroz de cabidela and feijoada à minhota and papas de sarrabulho a try! I think that you will love those!
@@muzzuplayz as I said two hours from the ocean to the can... The Portuguese can do that because the best fishing grounds are literally right off the coast... The furthest afield these fishing boats is sixty kilometers so they can get the fish back as quickly as possible to preserve the freshness... I will eat canned fish in Portugal long before I'll eat canned fish anywhere else... So don't knock it until you've made the trip to Metropolitan Portugal to try it...
Thanks for the trip down culinary memory lane Mike... Always loved eating in Portugal when I lived in London England. Made the trip at least once a month for over 13 years
Hi Mike! My husband and I are huge fans and love watching your videos. We are travelling to Jordan in July and noticed you haven’t been there. If you are interested in going there we would love to show you around the best restaurants! Let us know what you think!
Love Strictly dumpling video. Welcome to Lisbon. I wish he tasted food in non tourist areas. I find the places he ate were pricy. I don’t whether he displays prices.
Very interesting that the restaurant only served canned seafood. Only in Portugal. Egg tarts were delicious and also had in Macau. The dishes look yummy outdoor restaurants. One day I will visit Portugal. Great video Mike.
Well then, first, Lisbon, if you are looking for traditional Portuguese food, it is not the best place to find it, but the canned fish, the arroz de marisco (fish rice) and the bifanas were more or else traditional. As for the pastel de Belem like any other good pastel, put a dash of cinnamon powder on your pastry and eat it with a good hot expresso cup (cafe, bica or cimbalinho), that is second breakfast to me. You may also try a good cold beer or a glass of southern Portuguese red wine with the bifanas. The "jamon" thing was not traditional, it is a Spanish Portuguese mutant variant. If your looking for more traditional food, and better, you have to leave Lisbon, that is a tourist trap just like half of the Algarve my friend. But I am glad you are enjoying yourself, Bem vindo.
Don't just post this comment without any recommendations, friend! If not Lisbon, where should we go to eat the best Portuguese food? What foods, what regions, what restaurants etc.?
@@Lucysmom26 Get a car and explore, this is a very small country, you have awesome places just 20 miles outside Lisbon. Lisbon is just a post card city.
@@Lucysmom26 Recommend a restaurant? Look, if you like fish and seafood try any city in the coast, me, I would recommend for example Setubal, Sines, Vila Nova de Milfontes in the south, and in the north follow the coast, Figueira da Foz, Aveiro, so many. Inland try the Alentejo region and the highlands of the Beiras, beyond the Porto city and the Douro region the Southern wine regions of the Alentejo are the best ones, like any wines from Borba for example. The best bifanas in the country can be found in a village called Canal Caveira, Grandola, just follow the road from Setubal to Grandola, you will find it by seeing the queues outside the restaurant. This comment isnt long enough to talk about it, just rent a car and make a plan, try the cities like Porto, Braganca in the North, Evora and Beja in the South. The tourist sites are both in Portuguese and English and other languages, and if you can speak English you will get by more or less. Also, the less crowded areas of the Algarve and the "mom and pops" restaurants are still very good. Think Lisbon as a fast food place massifying traditional food, the Portuguese that likes to eat, seldom thinks of Lisbon, the capital is just a needed evil we have to put up with. And when in doubt just eat where the locals do, it as never failed me when travelling. As for traditional foods... They are too many for this comment...
@@joaomarreiros4906 Thank you for the info - and I do love fish and seafood. I think as someone coming from abroad comments like this are very helpful, I know it seems obvious to locals but for visitors we have no idea about any of this and the tipcs on regions etc. and to rent a car and explore are great. Thank you!
@@Lucysmom26 most restaurants any Portuguese native would recommend would just be attached to some random dudes house where they barely speak English and most likely based in a town where everyone is at minimum, 4th cousins. that being said, Angelo's in Cortical is fucking fire but he closed the restaurant and kept it as a café instead. Like João said, if you really want to experience true Portuguese cuisine, get out of Lisbon, visit random towns like Porto and just go into the different regions and experience the differences in the food and general culture.
Portuguese pateis de nata (best can be found in Belem) are different to HK egg tarts and divine; these canned sardines etc. served in Portugal and Spain are from another quality planet, plus bread and good weather you will be in heaven.
Mike What does the can look like for the stuffed squid. Have to try.I think Sprouts in New Mexico carried this brand.I am Pescatsrian so thanks especially for this video.
Haha, seeing you rave about canned fish is kinda funny :D But yeah, some of that stuff is great, especially mackerel in tomato. Portuguese bakery is excellent, no surprise that pork sandwich went so well.
Nice. Finally something that I can replicate! Well, it's of course different. But I can just eat some local canned fishes and pretend it to be the same lol.

Pedro Batista
Siiuuu
How come I'm just tripping over your site now, I've been missing out for 6+ years! Got to go, as I have some catching up to do. 🍽🍺
Love your videos, since the start pandemic i don't go to lisbon that often, in the beggining of the video. Was where i lived during my college times. what a nostalgic moment, to start the video for me
Portugal is definitely on my list for 2023
Wow! Everything looks soo good! Would love to try the Pork Sandwich and the Seafood Rice
Ramiro seafood restaurant one of the best memories I ever had ….would visit Lisbon again just to eat there
Thank you for enjoying the food from my country really glad you liked it
Dang. I gotta go to Portugal now! Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
After watching your videos for so many years I'm happy to see you in Portugal! Welcome and try everything we have to offer!😊
Welcome to Lisbon!! I've been watching your channel since forever! Nice to see you here 😆
Any seafood recommendations? 🙂
This spot is at the top of my list when I travel there.
Haven't been watching because I was busy starting up my channel. Glad to be back watching your awesome videos.
Visiting Portugal is on my bucket list. I love that you are there, trying some of their local fare. 👍😊👏 Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
Unless you really want to go to mainland Portugal, you should also look at the Azores is an archipelago that’s part of Portugal and it’s great there
@@Pseudolu2 Lisbon is great as are many places on the mainland. They'll be just fine.
THOSE EGG TARTS LOOKED SO GOOD MIKEY! Literally one of my favourite desserts
pastel de nata is fucking fire, you can find them almost anywhere in Portugal.
The Post-Credit eating was a really nice touch. Whatever that was in the wrap looked amazing considering all that I could see was pita and a mountain of well-seasoned meat.

Welcome to Portugal! Was a totaly surprise to see that you were here and a pleasure to see your reactions to our amazing Food!!! Love your videos🇵🇹😉
This is making me miss Lisbon so much; that bifana and arroz marisco both looked AMAZING. 🤤
Welcome to my country.
I hope you had a blast!!!!
Next time, give me a shout, and you'll come to my family farm and eat some homegrown food!!!!
Keep up the good work!!
As soon as I get back to Lisbon, I'm heading straight to that Seafood Rice!!!
❤️ Sardines!!!🤗

When I visit Portugal I always bring back tinned seafood. Customs gets a kick out of it. 😂
@@austin..... thank you, I will check it out! 😊 💌✌️
Canned mackerel cakes were a staple of my childhood. Still love them but the price is crazy now for it.
This time I came prepared. Had slow cooked baby back ribs and a perfectly dressed up baked potato while watching this and for a change I wasn't jealous of Mikey.
Love Portugal was there last year...also been there
Classic Mike Chen. Filming the outro, then realizing there's more food 🤣
I swear I almost screamed when I saw the chocolate soufflé!!! 10:47 My mother in law is an amazing cook and makes this exact chocolate soufflé for get togethers, with the crackly shell and runny chocolate middle. 🤤
That porked sandwich looks like my Kryptonite. So simple delicious pork and hot oil.
I watch these everyday while I'm eating lunch lol!
🤯I'm traveling from Venezuela, in Lisbon and watching your video as you post it🤯
How’s Venezuela doing? We only get to hear bad stuff in mass media
Oh man great video, so timely! Ive been cooking different sardine dishes lately
Francesinha is so good can't leave the country without it friend
Love your travels and content!

Welcome to Portugal, Mikey! Next time you come over you should give francesinha and arroz de cabidela and feijoada à minhota and papas de sarrabulho a try! I think that you will love those!
So 😋🤤 all that Portuguese food...WOW!! I'm salivating like crazy! 😆
To be fair it doesn't take much for you to be happy, especially when it comes to food! 😀
So?
Absolutely love this ❤❤
I love your reviews 👍👍👍👍😘
One of the reasons why it tastes so fresh is because it's barely two hours from the ocean to the can...
Haha. It’s in a can.
@@v.b9139 Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about
Bruh its canned

My 255th commitment good video look yummy all the food look yummy good luck with your next video
Love Strictly dumpling video. Welcome to Lisbon. I wish he tasted food in non tourist areas. I find the places he ate were pricy. I don’t whether he displays prices.
Hey Mike.. The canned food actually looks ok. Enjoy this great experience.. ❤️🐞
Wow , just wow.

There more restaurants like it and the pateis are different to HK style

This place is beautiful city 🌆 and good food
Pastei de Belem is a must try for sure. 😋

Please visit Setúbal and try the restaurant peixoco it's the best!!!!
All that looked positively incredible and made me want to get my happy butt over to Lisbon to eat all the things!
Love ya Mike! Been watching you for years and years! You are the best! Gonna go buy your products right now 🥘🍜🖤
Everything looks delicious! I would like to try the various canned fish!
This is my Country Portugal I hope all have like the video😉🇵🇹
MANTEGEIRA has taken the reigns as the best pastel de nata in Portugal
Mike What does the can look like for the stuffed squid. Have to try.I think Sprouts in New Mexico carried this brand.I am Pescatsrian so thanks especially for this video.
Canned tuna is typically cooked twice (before and after canning).
I've been to that pork sandwich place, its sooo good!!!
his description of the egg tart boils down to eggy and flakey. thanks for the great description mikey
You must go to Alentejo for example Évora nice food and wine. 👊😎
First
👋hallo thanks for the good video
I used to eat this when I was a kid .
The mackerel ones my favourite
man miss this guy
Really nice video 🎉
God bless
Canned fish and beer were my Achilles heel. I loved them too much and got gout 😅
9:20 - took me way too long to figure out what an "Ey Tar" is. Egg tart. Sound it out, Mike! 😂
I hope we get an all egg tart video.
Haha, seeing you rave about canned fish is kinda funny :D But yeah, some of that stuff is great, especially mackerel in tomato. Portuguese bakery is excellent, no surprise that pork sandwich went so well.
Enjoy to your hearts content 😉🙂....
That sounds interesting.
Not mike literally walking in between that random lady taking pic/vid of whatever it was😆
Way to great of a city to be rushed in such a short video 😕
Great vid!
That last sandwich😍😍😍
Bem vindo a Portugal Chen,o meu pais e onde existe das melhores comidas do mundo,tens de experimentar a Francessinha um prato tipico Português.
You're eating some amazing food Mike !!!!🙂
Now I feel like breaking out my canned sardines and trying a few things.
my favorite is the Costco sardines and I eat it over rice w/ the sauce it's great
Thank's from visit my countrie, you'r chanel Rock's
The chicken kebab at the end looked amazing! not to sure about that cake tho, it didnt look cooked! haha
It's a lava cake. 🤦♀️ The filling is supposed to flow over ice cream.
I'm not being lazy and unhealthy, I'm just training myself in case I want to open a canned food specialty restaurant.
me again, not into a restaurant that just opens a can of fish, but im glad you kind of seemed to like it.
Portuguese tarts are the THING. Can’t believe your commentary??
I'm going next month!
Ridiculously tasty! Keep that sodium level steady.
Love the crunch from the Portuguese egg tart. Yum!
Hey mikey love the vids where you off to next buddy?
I can imagine it’s a lot like Korean BBQ and canned Dace (Cantonese)/roasted eel for a lot less than €25.
I love canned fish!
Nice. Finally something that I can replicate! Well, it's of course different. But I can just eat some local canned fishes and pretend it to be the same lol.
Tjjjons of flavor!
