About The most famoue patisserie in this part of town.. The waiters run back and forth serving customers coffee and these delicious custard tarts that can be consumed in two or three bites.

According to local legend, he recipe goes back almost 200 years to the nuns who baked the pastries at the nearby Jeronimos Monastery. During the 1820 revolution, many religious orders were forced to disband. Money talked during those hard times, and the recipe was sold to a confectioner. Today, that same recipe is perhaps the most closely guarded secret in Portuguese cuisine, allegedly known to only a precious few at the Pasteis de Belem.

Very neat image Omar, and the b/w tones are perfect.
Thanx for the information, but I wish you knew the recipe may be to take it from you man :0)
God bless you my friend,
Khaled.

Wonderful portrait. I much admire the way you've captured the subject in so convincing and unself-conscious a style.

Congratulations,

Thanks George! It took a long time waiting in the shadows to catch this. These guys were like hummingbirds -- so fast I kept missing the moment!
