Food glorious food!
Many people like to dine out (jantar fora) in Portugal and it is affordable, even a trip to the local 'pastelaria' can be a treat.
So let's see if you have been paying attention.
How would you say; "I would like a pastel de nata please"? Use what you have learned and just take out the drink and replace it with pastel de nata. Easy isn't it?
Bom dia, quero um pastel de nata, se faz favor.
Bom dia, quero um café com leite e um pastel de nata, se faz favor.
Practice saying those until you know them by heart.
I shall side track a little here and give you some useful nouns. As mentioned before nouns are masculine and feminine in Portuguese so when we learn them we learn the article - 'the' at the same time so we learn the gender of each noun:
the = a(f) 'eh'
o(m) 'oo'
Learn off by heart.

O garfo está na mesa - the fork is on the table
A água está na jarra - the water is in the jug
A manteiga está no pão - the butter is on the bread
Below you will find a typical menu. Ordering from a menu should be easy for you now. How about translating it?
I can't do all the work. ;)
