Fue un recibimiento muy caluroso por tener casi un año sin vernos, un brindis con un buen espumante que lleve y ser parte de la comida, todo muy placentero, amigable, muy feliz por este reencuentro.

Once at the table, the lunch protocol begins and they bring a bread stuffed with bacon, they call it a meat ball. It brought back many memories of the ham bread that we served at Christmas, its very attractive appearance and very good taste.

Ya estando en mesa comienza el protocolo del almuerzo y traen de entrada un pan relleno con tocino, ellos llaman bola de carne, me trajo muchos recuerdo del pan de jamón que servimos en Navidad, su apariencia muy atractiva y en gusto muy bueno.

Once the entree is over, the main course arrives, the most anticipated thing, they immediately tell me you are going to eat shrimp caril with coconut rice and apa, the caril is like curry, plus a mixture of spices with coconut cream, in that area of Africa They use coconut a lot to mix meals, and they have Indian influences, but the spectacular flavor is truly very exquisite, accompanied by an APA, they are popular in Mozambique, where they are also consumed as an accompaniment to dishes or accompanied by some sauce, they are similar to Tortillas are made with wheat flour, vegetable oil, salt, water and melted butter.

Terminada la entrada llega el plato fuerte, lo más esperado de inmediato me dicen vas a comer caril de camarones con arroz de coco y apa, el caril es como el curry, más una mezcla de especies con crema de coco, en esa zona de África utilizan mucho el coco para mezclar las comidas, y tienen influencias indianas, pero de verdad muy exquisito el sabor espectacular, acompañado de una APA, son populares en Mozambique, donde también se consumen como acompañamiento de platos o acompañados de alguna salsa, son parecidas a las tortillas, se elaboran con harina de trigo, aceite vegetal, sal, agua y mantequilla derretida.

The way to assemble the dish is by stretching the APA or tortilla, then, on one side, you place the coconut rice and next to it the shrimp, then you bathe it with the caril sauce, some wrap it and eat it in the form of a taco, but I preferred to eat them in their own presentation to avoid sauce spills 🤣🤣, truly a spectacular dish to the level that I ate three.
ESP.
La forma de armar el plato es estirando la APA o tortilla, luego, por un lado, colocas el arroz de coco y al lado los camarones, luego lo bañas con la salsa de caril, algunos los envuelven y lo comen en forma de taco, pero yo preferí comerlos en su propia presentación para evitar derrames de salsa 🤣🤣, en verdad un plato espectacular al nivel que me comí tres.

To finish came the dessert or after-meal, as it is called in Portugal, as a tradition the camel slime and a peach mousse, the camel slime there is doubt about its origin, but in Mozambique the dessert is very common, and the peach mousse Known in Portugal as pessego, it is very common, but since it is originally from China, in the end both were very tasty and well prepared, they were not cloying.
