So-Called Japanese Restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal - Gourmet for Two
Hello to all "Steemians" out there, today's post is about one of our small trips to Lisbon (we do live quite near it). We went there to do some shopping at Martim Moniz district (where we can find a lot of oriental products, especially for cooking) and in a peculiar twist of destiny we ended up going to a very quirky restaurant... that is even hard to describe.
Not always we have the luck of finding the best places to eat when we go out, and unfortunately, this day was a complete disaster... why?! Well, I could say so many things about it and even say terrible ones! But better not go that far...
From outside the restaurant didn't seem to be too bad it had a nice facade, even if the poster were showing already some aging, due to the Sunlight, but as soon as we entered... things did not match entirely with what was shown outside.
I end up with a small question... why do some restaurants try to pretend to be of Japanese food (who says Japanese, says Italians, Portuguese or others) when what they serve is far from that type of food... too far.
Does it gives them more profits trying to pretend to be something they are not?! People soon realize that they were tricked and decided never to go there again! Making them lose more than gain.
After our misadventure in the restaurant, we head up to the Lisbon downtown where we had fun enjoying the last days of winter in a beautiful sunny day!

STOPThey can call themselves Japanese even if they are not. That is called freedom. If you are against those choices, you become Hitler or Soros or Rothschild or Obama or worse.
Thanks for the comment :) I do not really want to become like the gentleman once interviewed by P.F. Drucker who considered him as someone totally wrong. BTW do you do any charitable work that adds value to the society or to give hope to people?
Worked with The Salvation Army in Hawaii for a year and also volunteered and worked teaching in Vietnam for 5 years and was in Quebec and also New York and also Oregon.
Amazing! So you know that Obama, Soros, and Rothchild are also involved with Philanthropies. But doesn't the fact make them dictators? ;) As for the Chinese people calling their food Japanese, there is nothing wrong with it. With the video, I wanted people to be aware that there are Chinese people exploiting others for profits. There are certainly Chinese people making admirable effort to make the better sushi everyday, like a sushi chef I saw in San Francisco, but there are also too many Chienese restaurants serving low quality food. They use the name "Japanese food" only because it is easier for them to market locals that do not really know about foreigh cultures. I do not think that what "the" Chinese people are doing will help anyone at all. I think that it only makes Asians look like a group of people providing inferior culture, leading to comtempt by occidental people. I hope that you understand the point.
Agreed, Clinton, Soros, Obama, Bush, Bill Gates, Oprah, and others have foundations, organizations, allegedly, to help, but the launder money, stole so much from Haiti, from many countries. I support free markets. I hope for the best for Chinese, Japanese, Asians, in general. I believe in competition. I may cook and sell Chinese food or Mexican food or even Italian food, you know, regardless of my skin color or regardless of where maybe.
I agree. It is nice to see people share culture and improve it. Just like things always have been. Japanese is known to "steal" foreign culture and make it our own and improve. USA's strength, I think, comes from the mix of culture even though I feel that racial tension is too fierce sometimes. I have seen in San Francisco that people are open to new ideas to create something better together by overcoming differences in ethnicities or beliefs. I am aware that the boom in SFC is creating social problems. However, they are at the same time an indispensable catalyst to create solutions to problems with their ideas and technology, which we will not be able to live without.
SFC is Rome, all over again. I love small towns. I love to live in the forest. I love farms. History repeats itself at times when we fail to learn from them.
I do not wish to see a dark and stagnant middle age. Perhaps the freedom functions well this time to balance the differences and inequality so that we can avoid that.
