    As someone who watches loads of food reviews on YT (the weirder the better), you have no idea how refreshing it is for one of you to finally call out a shitty meal for being a shitty meal. So sick to death of every single reviewer saying that everything they put in their mouth is amazing because they are afraid it will affect their views if they don't. This is how it's done.

There was always a crazy guy at the door that welcomed clients. I'm sure that many people recognize the place, I just can't remember how we used to call it. We would have "diner" at like 5am after leaving Alcantara Mar (best disco ever).

    I'm an Australian born who's half Chinese Timorese and have had family born in all sorts of Portuguese speaking places such as Macau, Brazil, East Timor, Mozambique and including Portugal aswell of course for the past few centuries. I've been to Lisboa during 2017 when I was 14yrs old to visit the rest of my family as we've had a family reunion gathering and haven't met with the cousins until that time and I'm really surprised I've never heard of or went to one of these places at all. This has been an eye-opening experience to say the least, it's pretty sus to be eating at a "restaurant" in a literal apartment lol, but the food actually looks pretty good although I wouldn't really trust it to be honest (still most likely healthier than McDonalds or KFC though).

    The housing problems are huge in Lisbon. From what I’ve heard: A few years ago, the Chinese started coming in to invest in real estate in exchange for ‘Golden visas’. The buildings they bought are left to sh*t, unliveable, and will only, at some point be sold once 5x’ed I reckon. Therefore not much new housing is being offered. The government really f’ed the locals over with that. Rents are sky high.

    We have illegal Pakistani/Indian places in Germany too. Same as you describe, no menus, usually in the back of indian food stores, you either order 'food' at the store till or one of several standard 'light bites (chaat, panipuri, samosa, sometimes bhaji or pakora too), then they show you into a back room and serve up the food within a couple of minutes. Often no actual tables, just stools with a bar style shelf to eat from that goes around the room.

    Thank you for this video and experience, it was like hanging out with you, or like being the disembodied collective soul hanging out with you enjoying all vicarious dimensions to the experience 😂I'm curious about the first place now, that was apparently closed. Last place "Clandestino" was very-much approaching regular restaurant vibes and accessibility like you said. The second place, or first you actually found, active and operating, was like a beautiful spiritual arrangement and artwork! The whole pathway there, and internal aesthetic, including the view out the window into the alleyway, was very unusual and special. Also the staff seemed very genuine and forthcoming in a comfortable and welcoming way. The food apparently being decent also, and someone's earnest attempt/creation. Illegal restaurant ⚡⚡just liberated from the shackles of Babylon, just relieved of a few taxes and regulatory hurdles. I could do with fewer or no hurdles myself. We all could. 💖💚

    My parents were Chinese restauraunt owners. It could be that the pooey one you went to has more authentic dishes (seeing as you said people were having food you never saw before) but also a set of more Western style dishes that is more of an afterthought and less good. I can guess which menu your fried rice and sweet/sour prawns falls under hehe. If you're feeling adventurous, next time you can ask for recommendations for a more authentic chinese meal.

    that's what I thought about. The meal he ordered is only for Western ppl who never tried authentic Chinese food. If he is open-minded he can kindly ask for recommendations. But not to blame an Aussie who only knows fish and chips too much. lol

    ​@@andrealcantara3712 Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately not so easy without knowing what's available first, because within China there are so many different cuisines! And restaurants worth going to will only specialise in one or two types. Furthermore, I mainly know about Cantonese food, so I can recommend some to you. I don't know how easy Cantonese restaurants are to find in Lisbon, but I would recommend going to a well regarded Dim Sum place if possible. Traditionally it's a lunch/brunch affair, but dim sum for dinner is not too unusual. Dim sum are a variety of small dishes of your choice, similar to the way you would have Spanish tapas. There are often dozens to choose from, so you can already try lots of different things in this style. Classic dim sum dishes are siu mai (pork), ha gau (prawn/pork), lo mai gai (chicken/pork wrapped in sticky rice), lo bak go (turnip cake), cheung fun (rice roll, with different choice of fillings). Since turning pescetarian 16 years ago, there's a lot I miss. Lo mai gai especially, since it was a favourite of mine, and I've never seen a vegetarian version in restarurants. It's also pretty difficult to make at home, requiring the experienced craftwork of a skilled Chinese paw paw (granny).

    When I found mine was because a friend told me that you need to look for red chinese lanterns in the buildings, that help to identify the building and then you open Google maps and find in the reviews some clues to knock in the right door... This one is actually very ugly normally since they are in residential buildings you need to be extra quiet.

    Lovely to see this! Lived in the area for 7 years (in the square where the crazy person screamed) and yes, pretty sus. Used to be considered a dangerous area before 2010 but now is a bit of a mix, do to the tourism/expat boom. Drugs and prostituion are still quite prosperous there you can get anything from haxixe to crack, so those were the omnious gazes that you noticed. As fot the restaurants closed one and 2nd are quite allright (I ate fried frog legs on the 2nd one once, they're a delicious and strangelly fancy option, they don't sell it anymore) and saw a corpse around while leaving the closed one once at 1 am (nothing too sinister, cardiac failure I believe, but right in front of the door). Famous place got to big to whitstand quality. Around 2010 it was nice (we used to have pur college dinners there, the soups and the duck tongue were good, they don't sell duck tongue anymore), but once it got routinelly crowed the cooking staff had to drop the standars. People go there for the "illegal" experience anyways so subpar food doesn't mean less costumers.
