Serralves... Meia de Leite (almost a Cappucino)

I never miss a chance to visit Serralves, the Portuguese Museum of Modern Art in Porto. If don't like the art, or find it too difficult to digest... This was the floor in one of the rooms... I found it disturbing, I could look at it for hours...

But the best seat in the room was taken...


You can always go to any of the three cafeterias in the compound, good coffee, quality savories... Fantastic...
The top restaurant has a reasonable buffet and a great view over the park, the lower floor level cafeteria has a great window facing the grass, very Zen... but probably the top is the Tee House, so 1920's-1930's a Tee house in front of the gravel Tennis court... The perfect place to read the newspaper weekend edition, if you're watching the rain from the inside... very peaceful... Love it!

In Portugal you can have a "meia de leite", litteraly "half milk" the equivalent in the Netherlands would be half of a "Koffie Verkeerd", I've had some Latte's and Machiattos in my day, but there's nothing like a Meia-de-leite. If you want to try it is a long expresso with the same amount of vapor heated milk, it should look like this..
