We begin our journey in the vibrant and picturesque Latin Quarter of Fontainhas. Take in the colourful houses and charming alleys as your guide sets the stage for our culinary adventure. Goan Confectionery & Chai is the first stop which is a quaint, traditional bakery. Here, we'll dive into the world of Goan sweets with a delightful Bebinca (Goa's layered cake masterpiece) or Dodol (a rich jaggery and coconut fudge), perfectly paired with a strong, spiced Goan Chai. This introduces the Portuguese influence on Goan sweets.
