Black Pearl Seafood Restaurant

Today is the day we leave Belgium for Switzerland...spending the weekend in Luzern before meeting another customer in Zurich. Vivian was craving for bouillabaisse, a dish she had eaten before at Brussel airport. Should have seen the way she looked for the restaurant :) Found the restaurant...it is called the Black Pearl Seafood Restaurant where we finally had our bouillabaisse.

The bouillabaisse was very tasty. I understand now why Vivian was frantically looking for it. Thanks Vivian for sharing this fabulous dish.

It is a soup dish with white fish. Yummy yummy.

We also shared a lobster salad which was equally tasty.

Not forgetting bread...the bread is so fresh and taste so good with or without the mustard paste. Thumbs up. Another great meal before we leave Belgium :)

Brasserie 't Stropke

From Paris, we went to Ghent, Belgium to meet another customer. My first time to Ghent, Belgium and like the city.

Had our lunch at Brasserie 't Stropke. A nice and cosy authentic atmosphere near the historic Castle of the Counts.

We had a table outside the brasserie which had a good view of Castle of the Counts. It was a bit chilly but the cool weather makes our tomato soup taste so much better :) Our soup was served in a nice little pot. Rather authentic.

For main course, Vivian had a chicken dish with potatoes. Tried some of Vivian's....I like the potatoes. Definitely gained some kilos as I have not been exercising throughout the trip but kept on eating food which are high in carbs.

I had mixed meat grill. Looks oily but tasty.

My dish came with pommes frites, authentic Belgian fries. What's the difference between pommes frites and french fries...it taste the same to me :)

Our taxi driver  the airport was actually recommending pommes frites with Duvel beer. Did not try the Duvel beer during lunch but had one later at Hotel Harmony.Like the taste of the beer.
