I have been using Tripadvisor to gather information, get advice and read reviews to plan my trips. One of suggested places to visit in Lisbon is Pasteis de Belem to try their pastel de nata. It is regarded as a very famous and historical cafe with a long line of people in front of it, every day all year round. Further reading, I found out it was established in 1837, chefs working there are under oaths not to reveal the recipe. They produce more than 1,000,000 pastel de nata every day! Whether the stories are true or not, I was determined to go there. I had never tried pastel de nata, so my curiosity was really high -later I tried the same cakes at Nandos and Chinese bakery in Manchester, but nothing was the same as Pasteis de Belem's!! I still think about them every now and then, and miss Lisbon.
On the left, Pastel de Nata. Next to it is
