trendy Porto - or is it all about food???

PT
numa das minhas saídas pelo Porto tive a sorte de me cruzar com a Yishyene - uma "travel blogger" da Malásia, mas residente em Londres. para além de dar nas vistas pelos seus looks, é uma pessoa extremamente simpática, e de quem facilmente gostamos.

acabei por me encontrar com ela mais do que uma vez e num dos nossos encontros falámos um bocado sobre o Porto. 

de notar que é o segundo ano seguido que a Yishyene cá vem, desta vez por uma temporada de 5 semanas. ficou instalada num apartamento perto do Café Candelabro, que partilhou com uma outra amiga, e durante os dias em que cá esteve quase que posso dizer que ficou a conhecer mais do Porto do que eu....pelo menos em termos de restaurantes.....até porque como ela diz, "Porto is a lot about food".....:) e entre muitas saídas e descobertas, ainda teve tempo de organizar uma pancake party e uma farewell party....

I was lucky to meet Yishiene - a travel blogger from Malasia living in London. She always wears nice  outfits and easily makes friends. I had the opportunity to be with her more than once, and one time I asked her some things about Porto.

This is the second year she is visiting Porto, and this time she was staying for 5 weeks, in an appartment downtown close to Café Candelabro. I can almost say she achieved to know more about the city than myself.....at least about restaurants....as she says "Porto is a lot about food":)

among the many things she did and visited, she had the time to organize a pancake party and a farewell party...

So, what do you like most about Porto?

- well....food (laughing). ...bacalhau, octopus, ....and the sandes from Taxca, ...

- is there a favourite restaurant?

- I tried many many restaurants!! I love them all, but there are still some of them I need to go to..., I have few days now... 

(and I myself noted down a few ones to get to know: like: Tia Orlanda, O Caseirinho, Comme Ça, Venham mais 5, o Paparico, Jesse Sushi.....(and she also discovered Pedro Limão, DOP, Casa Guedes, .....)

ok, but besides food, there is something more in Porto, right??:)

- oh Porto is fantastic, with so many things going on....I love it!! I do not want to leave....:) And everything is close, and it is pretty much affordable, I cannot eat out as I do here, when I am in London!!

 - and I love the beach, and surfing, the weather...and of course the people, are so nice and fun!! I made a lot of friends here. And in the S.Joao, I ended up at the beach....it was day....it was incredible!

So in some words, how would you describe Porto?

- Porto is creative, up and coming and full of new opportunities....and ahhh, full of beautiful people:)

- 
- and many people are coming to visit Porto because of me:) they see my posts and they want to come!

e melhor é impossível: os turistas vêm, gostam, recomendam. não há melhor do que o word of mouth...

é o Porto no seu esplendor, só queremos que continue assim por muito mais tempo.

better is impossible: the tourists come, they like, they recommend! there is nothing better than the word of mouth..

this is Porto in its splendour, and hopefully for long long time more.
