Another Gastronomic Adventure

We finally got back to Porto and got everything cleaned up from our little side trip down south.  After arranging everything, we decided to visit the new Shopping Arrabida, which is near the Arrabida Bridge on the Gaia side of the river here in Porto.
I first went to see where my sister-in-law works, at one of the many food establishments that are in the mall.  Up on the top floor where are all the food shops are, they also have an outdoor deck where you can get a great view of the Douro River into Porto.

After meeting up with my wife's sister, we decided to have lunch at the mall as well.  And once again we were drawn to Serra d'Estrela, a restaurant with many traditional portuguese dishes.
This time I remembered to take pictures as I chose the Rice with Duck again, but here they top it all with cheese as well.
While my wife chose a typical portuguese sausage and potato dish topped with an egg, something the portuguese are fond of doing to their food.
