With the MSG I headed (well walked) up to Sylvia’s Portuguese Restaurant <\/a>in Petersham. The meal got off to a bit of a chaotic start with hungry people, late people and lost people. But we ordered before everyone was there and in the end it all worked out well. I might have to get a job as a GPS unit one day. I also forgot to take my good camera. So I am restricted to mobile phone photos.<\/p>\n

The menu is a simple affair with a small variety of dishes, with several options for some of them. We also ordered some food off the specials board.<\/p>\n

We started with a mix of entree’s. Being on GPS Duties, I did not get a photo of the sardines. Typically for Portugueses food it had three sardines and in this case some roast green\u00a0capsicums. We also had bread and Pipies. I have always wondered why Australians don’t eat Pipies. They are all along the coast line and with my father and his friends we used to harvest them from the beach.<\/p>\n

For mains, we had Bacalhau a Lagareio (Fried Cod with potatoes), Espada a Madeirense (meat on a skewer), and Portuguese charcoal chicken served with chips, the last as a taster. Owing to a bit of a mix up in our ordering we ended up with two of the cod dishes, I would rather have also tried the pork. As ususal, the food is somewhat rustic in it’s approach. Large quantites of simple, good food. The cod was a very bland, but the sauce very strong and garlicy. The meat was salty, but still I ate two pieces. The chicken was a lttile hot.<\/p>\n

\nWe decided to go for the deserts. They had run out of Portuguese Tarts, so we had Molotof, which was made from a merangue and the others had a custard tart.
