点评:Two of us had visited this beautifully restored Portuguese-era mansion 14 years ago and had thoroughly enjoyed the tour through the house, by the owner, then a wander around the lush, restored gardens. We were then treated to a fabulous home-cooked feast.
To our delight the same people still own the house, and as we are in Goa again, we re-visited and took friends with us.
We again were given a tour by the owner, Ruben, who explained the history of the house, the renovations and some of the contents. We then sat down to a wonderful lunch, cooked by Ruben's wife.
To start, we shared:
- Pan-fried mushrooms in crispy cups
- Deep-fried cheese pastries
- Something like a cream cheese on toast
- Crab meat in the shell
- Drumstick (Goan vegetable soup)
Then a feast of main courses:
- Whole seabass
- BBQ prawns (with a delicious coating)
- Spiced chicken pieces off the bone
- Salad with pomegranate
- Chopped green beans
- Pumpkin pie
- Steamed rice
- Poi bread
And to finish, the most delicious no-flour, rich chocolate pudding.
We also had their signature cocktail of pineapple and passion fruit juice with their locally produced spirit, Feni, made from fermented and distilled cashew apples - an excellent drink.
We absolutely loved re-visiting this delightful family in their lovely home and eating a sumptuous lunch.
Thank you Palácio do Deão!
翻译:十四年前,我们两人曾参观过这座修复精美的葡萄牙时期宅邸,当时主人亲自带领我们参观了整栋房屋,之后我们又漫步于郁郁葱葱、焕然一新的花园,度过了非常愉快的时光。之后,我们还享用了一顿丰盛的家常菜。
令我们欣喜的是,这栋房子至今仍由同一批人拥有。这次我们又来到了果阿,于是再次造访,并带上了朋友。
主人鲁本再次亲自为我们讲解了房屋的历史、翻修过程以及部分藏品。之后,我们享用了鲁本妻子亲手烹制的美味午餐。
首先,我们分享了:
- 香煎蘑菇(酥脆杯装)
- 炸奶酪酥皮点心
- 类似奶油奶酪吐司的甜点
- 带壳蟹肉
- 鸡腿(果阿蔬菜汤)
接下来是丰盛的主菜:
- 整条海鲈鱼
- 烤大虾(裹着美味的面糊)
- 香料鸡块(去骨)
- 石榴沙拉
- 切碎的四季豆
- 南瓜派
- 米饭
- 芋头面包
最后,我们品尝了美味的无面粉浓郁巧克力布丁。
我们还点了他们招牌的鸡尾酒,用菠萝和百香果汁调制,并加入了当地酿造的菲尼酒(Feni),这是一种用发酵和蒸馏的腰果苹果制成的佳酿——非常棒的饮品。
我们非常高兴能再次拜访这户热情好客的家庭,在他们温馨的家中享用这顿丰盛的午餐。
感谢帕拉西奥·杜·迪昂!
