sequence of events at sumol: me: un yakisoba camarao par viaje, translates 1 shrimp yakisoba to go(using my newly acquired portuguese food ordering skills) restaurant owner:(talks to cook in the kitchen) (10 minutes later, still no sign of yakisoba) female employee:(picks up a plate of food ready for a customer, announces the food is ready, no one came to pick up the food, places plate inside the display cupboard). (2 minutes later) female employee:(takes out plate of food from cupboard and eats 2 pieces of french fries off the plate, passes plate back to kitchen) (0.1 millisecond later) me:(walks away from the restaurant) please allow me to summarize why i left the restaurant 1) the yakisoba took forever, and i didn’t even get one confirmation whether or not my yakisoba will ever show up from the kitchen window 2) unhygienic, i mean, employees eating food off of a plate that was or probably will end up for another customer? yeah, no thanks. there are plenty of other sucos e lanches places scattered all over the streets of copacabana.

pretty much there is a sucos juice place on nearly every corner of copacabana. you can’t go wrong with fresh juice. acai smoothie awesome the good ones for me: acerola y laranja and graviola guarana is like redbull for this area. also don’t forget to eat Pão de Queijo — chewy cheeseballs, awesome. most of the baked pastries are not must haves but make for a very functional breakfast.
