Sorry for not getting back to you Colleen, I was at work all day/night yesterday. I'll look out for the Silver sands next time i'm in Candolim (ie SOON!!!!!! :clap)
If I can get my half a brain working today
I think its now 17 days (oops wrong thread).
Do try the O'Pescador Colleen, its a lovely place to eat. Sit in the middle/rear of the restaurant though then you won't have your meal spoilt by the traffic fumes that can be a slight problem if you sit right at the front (also noisy) It appears to be popular as it has always been quite busy when we have gone there.
I love my chinese food too and have been to the Pagoda a few times, not bad, but nothing special. Nice restaurant and staff are nice but I'm sure there are better chinese restaurants.
