Drove up to a rural area in Belgium in search of the best known beer of Belgium, made by monks. got there after a 1hr drive. no cars, no people, only the big wide endless field and us. have been drinking n drinking n drinking for the entire trip! trying different types of beer from different country. well just another excuse for drinking.
The Trappist beer made by Trappist monks. Limited supply of this beer makes the taste even better. we tried to buy some off the counter of the bar and they dont sell them. and at the gift shop, they dont sell them either, reservations must be made.
after beer-tasting, we headed for Brussels the capital city of Belgium. At least this place is better than Brugges, at least to me. haha afterall i grew up in a city=P daljoon once again, left us for his museum escapades while we walked around the city, looking for authentic Belgium waffles and Belfry.
Unlike waffles we have in singapore that are really thin n tasteless, Belgium waffles are very thick, and taste like Roti Prata! haha yeapps maybe i missed prata too much. topped with just icing sugar and tastes heavenly.
and then comes the Belfry! daljoon told me fried originated from Belgium, so of course we've got to try them even though i think it taste the same from the ones we usually get from Mosburger, thick fries with sauce on them
after all these eating, we went to the central square of Brussels, similar to those in other towns and city, a wide open space where carnivals and markets can be held. somehow i like this more than that in Brugge =x nice architecture huh?
touring around the city without any time limitations is the best, go whereever we want, do whatever, eat whatever! haha did i mention, there's so many chocolatiers everywhere! haa got attracted to the choc fondue and decided to try, banana choc yum yum
and then passed this national statue, Manneken Pis Fountain, a cheerful little boy taking a leek in the pool near the grand place. haha and everyone was trying to take a photo of his small ****. haha poor boy.
while hee yeun n i didnt, because we were more interested in the choc shops nearby, Godiva chocs and the choc tart we had for 1.50euros was truely one of a kind. with berries on top and white choc as the filling, dark choc as that tart.
okay enough of food for now, continue walking straight and we come to a garden, i dont know what isit called but it's beautiful! it's on top of a little hill so you can actually glance out into the city. which is soo beautiful! hehe i love Brussels already =) and it's even prettier when it's all light up at night.
my Brussels advanture seem to invovle lots of food, not before long, it's dinner time already and we went to Daljoon's recommanded restaurants for our dinner before heading back to Germany =( Mussels(kelly your favourite!) haha i think of Mussels i think of Kelly. the national dish of Belgium is a must try! the entire street of restaurant only has that in their menus and are really aggressive in their promotion, it's like newton circus.
Liyin n i ordered a meal to share 31.50 Euros for a cup of beer, 800g of White wine Mussels, prawn salad, fries and unlimited no. of bread! and the shells that are empty after the meal. yum yum
