TRy ANTWERP STyLE WAFFLES AND APPELBEIGNETS
Belgium is famous for its waffle cakes, whipped cream cakes, and fruit with
chocolate sauce. However, different regions of Belgium have their own unique
version of waffles. My personal favorite was the Antwerp style waffles, which
I ate at Däsirä de Lille, a small cafä and cake shop dating to 1903. I went
to the shop twice in the afternoon, and it was crowded everytime I went.
When you are in a strange city, and you visit a shop where you find
yourself the only foreigner, you know you gotta come back a few
more times!
Antwerp style waffles are light and soft, and not as
doughy and "heavy" as the Brussels style waffles.
The waffle that I had was served with
whipped cream, a vanilla ice cream
scoop and drizzles of chocolate on
top. The taste was exquisitely
sweet and tantalizing.

ENJOY MICHELIN-STARRED FRENCH FRIES
Although named "french fries" in American English, Belgium
is actually the home of the fried-potato dish that has become
popular all over the world. French fries in Belgium are a cheap
and popular street snacks. At 6 Euros, you can enjoy a huge
portion of french fries with all kinds of self-served delicious
sauces. What should be the reason to spend nearly 13 Euros
for a serving of the french fries at the Frites Atelier Amsterdam,
you might ask?
Let me reveal to you that the owner of this french fries
restaurant is Sergio Herman, a three Michelin-starred chef
who had worked for over 20 years at a high-end restaurant in
Zeeland, Netherlands. After years of cooking, Sergio decided to
leave his kitchen to sell french fries. So, here I was in Antwerp
having the opportunity to enjoy the most delicious fried potato
in the world: French fries served with Flanders-style beef and
mayonnaise.
