As I have come to find out,
starting an online business takes more than just posting up a website.
I have both a Facebook page and
a website, but sales have been slow... very slow.
I’m gonna put a few things
together and see if it works.
In the meantime, let’s talk
about Brazilian Food! *Slurp*
Last Saturday, in the gracious
presence of my darling boyfriend and 2 other good friends, we headed to a very
popular Brazilian restaurant located in the northern region in the megalopolis
state of São Paulo.

Mocotó has been voted one of the
world’s top 101 restaurants, by Newsweek Magazine. This restaurant has also won
several other awards by the local Brazilian media such as ‘Best Brazilian Food’
and ‘Chef of The Year’.
For most people not from Brazil
(me included), when I think of Brazilian food, barbequed meat and cachaça come
to mind. Other food related items that come to mind are Brazilian coffee and
Brazil nuts.
After living in Brazil for
almost two years, I have come to learn that the food is much, much more varied
than just barbequed meat.
There’s the giant river fish
dishes from the Amazonas. (Pirarucu)
Spicy seafood stews of Bahia. (Moqueca)
Thick, comforting stews of beans
and pork of Minas Gerais. (Feijoada)
Shrimp baked in a pumpkin, a
popular dish at coastal cities. (Camarão na Moranga)
The four dishes above represent
just a few drops compared to a sea of mouthwatering fares that this country has
to offer.
So on Saturday, in the pouring
rain, despite the flooding on several roads, we bravely made our way to Vila
Medeiros, north of São Paulo.
The trip was SO worth it.
Instead of blabbering, I’ll let the pictures do all the talking.
Foi fantastico!
