4:33 The rice pudding is called "Arroz Doce" in Portugese, not "Doce da Casa"! Sorry for my very poor Portugese🙏😂

Glad to see you enjoyed your visit. As for rice, we can say it's a staple in portuguese cuisine, we are the biggest consumers of rice per capita in europe, and you'll find it not only as a side dish but also as the main. We have 2 main styles of rice dishes, pilaf, like you had with the pork, that is almost always served as a side for meat and egg dishes, and a "soggy" rice (a little weter and looser than risoto, think asian porrige), that uses a shorter grain, usually cooked with tomatoes, beans, seafood or greens.

4:33 - A small correction: 'Doce da Casa' is not rice pudding, rice pudding is a completely different dessert. 'Doce da Casa' is a layered dessert that can be made in many ways but some ingredients, like eggs, condensed milk, Maria cookies, coffee and cream are usually present in all the recipes.
6:30 - 'Bifana' for breakfast? No one eats 'bifanas' for breakfast in Portugal! If 'Bifana' was a religion, you'd be excommunicated! 🤣
7:44 - Another small correction: 'Pastéis de Belém' and 'Pastéis de Nata' are not the same thing. The first are the ones that originated in the Jerónimos Monastery (not the 'Pastéis de Nata', like you said in the video), they have a secret recipe, a trademarked name and are only made in Belém, unlike the latter, which obviously have a different recipe, a different name and are made everywhere. They might look similar but they're very different. You can compare 'Pastéis de Nata' amongst each other but never with a 'Pastel de Belém'. If you ask a real local where to find the best 'Pastel de Nata', they'll probably send you to Manteigaria or Fábrica da Nata but never to Belém.
Apart from these small things (after all, you can't know everything), it's refreshing to see a video about where to eat in Lisbon that's not the same old same old touristy places that everyone else talks about in their videos and because of that you earned a 👍.
