Coxinha Com Requeijão

Fornalha is an unspectacular looking lanchonete (snack bar) but just a mention of their infamous coxinha com requeijão inspires sighs of adoration from those who’ve had the pleasure. The tear-shaped golden breadcrumb exterior doesn’t give much away, but bite through the thin outer casing of soft dough and you’ll find succulent shredded chicken breast enlivened with garlic, lime, scallions and parsley. And hiding below it all like a guilty secret is a generous dollop of gooey, creamy, utterly indulgent requeijão cream cheese. You’ll feel guilty once you’re finished but you’ll get over it.
