Europe Part 9: Belgian Waffles And Fries

Europe Part 8: Brussels

While you were in Brussels, of course what else not to be missed if it's not their famous waffles, fries and chocolates.  There are a few stalls selling waffles especially around the Grand Place, but I just picked the busiest and the longest queue just hoping it would be the best one.  The waffle itself costs as cheap as 1 euro.  However, they will charge extra for an ice cream and fruits.  For me, belgian waffle is a little different from any waffle out there.  I would say better actually, a bit harder and dryer though and the skin much crispier with I guess they kinda sprinkle sugar on the outside.  1.50 Euro for extra ice cream, but they put a big dollop of it and generous sauce and strawberry on top.  It was just yumm...

Their fried chicken and fries was also quite good.  I mean fried chickens were crispy, flavoursome and pretty common so what can go wrong with a fried chicken, right?  But fries hmmmm.. pretty average, or probably just me as I still prefer the slim one over the big fat chunk fries.

Europe Part 6: One of The Best German Food In Paris

Very early in the morning, we catch taxi to Paris train station called Gare Du Nord.  Jump into Thalys train to Brussels.  The train journey takes about one hour and ten minutes.  In this advance and modern city like Paris, everything is easy to find, all information is adequately provided for tourists.  We got there pretty early as we can chill out and had some breakfast before we departed.  However, there is mini bar inside the carriage as well, in case if you don't have time to buy some food before get in to the train.  By the way, we only do a day trip to Brussels this time, which I think it is so doable.

In this blog, I will mostly show the photos around Brussels.  Like charming looking Cathedral, Grand Place or Grote Markt (city's town hall), Manneken Pis, and so on.  A little bit sprinkled on that day, but still we were so much enjoyed the city on foot.  Easy to get around this little town.  So enjoy and Octie Appetie..

Grand Palais

Manneken Pis

               
So many tourists are left disappointed with this Manneken Pis.  Some said: just this.. this tiny!!!  Only a tiny statue can attract so many people.  Because there are several legends behind this statue.  And I do respect it.

Coble stone everywhere - so enchanted
