Pairing Brigadeiro correctly — a note on açaí bowl

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Brigadeiro. I ordered it with açaí bowl and the sweet from tropical fruits elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dende palm oil in particular became more prominent in a good way.

feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with African and Portuguese roots. The a São Paulo padaria is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Brigadeiro with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
