We went on a little trip this week. On our way to St. Augustine we stopped at a store called Delícias de Portugal, located in Palm Coast. Actually, it’s two stores, and they are like a block away from each other. The second one has the exact same name, but followed by a “II”, so we assume it’s from the same owners. On the first one we got the Portuguese rice cake, an almond tart, and “pata de veado” – a dessert that is basically a roll cake with bavarian cream. Oh, we also got some coffee, which was really good.
Here’s proof of our visit:
Danish: I found this pleasant as well. Not too sweet, not too bland. 7/10
Almond tart:
Blondie: Tiny tart with almond filling. Yummy. 8/10
Danish: I have a special place for almond pastries, in my mouth. 9/10
Pata de veado:
Blondie: I’ve had one before at a grocery store, but boy, this one is a lot better. It’s super moist, and the filling is delicious. 9/10
Danish: This one was my favorite of the day, the texture and flavor was great. 10/10
Then, we went to the second store, which had some different snacks available. From this one, we picked the orange tart, custard tart, and the milk tart.
Orange tart:
Blondie: Okay, I did not like this one. Honestly, it tasted like there was something wrong with it. 2/10
Danish: I seem to be overly sensitive to things that have a sulphury eggy taste, which is all I could taste in this. 0/10
Custard tart:
Blondie: It was a good tart, but not the best one I’ve ever had. 7/10
Danish: The flavor of the custard was not eggy like the orange one (hooray!). It was good, but as Blondie said not as good as ones we’ve had elsewhere. 7/10
Milk tart:
Blondie: This dessert is new to me, but I really like it. It’s like a little muffin, but only made of baked cream. 9/10
Danish: This one was enjoyable as well, though texture was a bit odd to me. 8/10
That’s it for today! See you guys soon!
