10 days in Netherlands/ Belgium: DAY 6
11.03.2015
Since it was a last minute decision to go to Brussels,
and i booked accommodation for my previous hostel for only 2 nights.
Also, my plan to go back to Netherlands was only 2 days later.
Thus, i booked another hostel for an additional 2 nights.
2GO4 Quality Hostel
10 bed dorm(Mixed)
Cost: $42.00 Euros for 2 nights.
But i was totally WOW-ed by the decors of the common area.
It was so vintagey and nice... which makes it a perfect place for people to mingle.

Apart from having a fully equipped kitchen that we can use,
there are free flow of tea and hot chocolate that we can help ourselves too.
Definitely recommend this place to stay!
Also, it is near to the shopping area and Grand Place.
Went out for lunch after settling down in the new hostel.
Decided i should try some Belgium Delicacy- Mussels.
There are actually many different ways of cooking it, and seeing i was lost,
a kind belgian family decided to help me and recommended me this!
If i am not wrong, it is steamed and there is white wine in it.

When it arrived, i was shocked that it was a huge pot of it.
Never in my life, have i eaten so much mussels,
and of course i could not finish it cause the portion was too huge.
Later then i know that, each serving is around 1.5kg worth of mussels.
This cost: $18.00 Euros

Went back to the grand place again to walk around.
Re-vist some places that the walking tour went past yesterday as well.
Just cause it was too rush during the walking tour.
So today it was just walking around to explore the city proper.
When in Belgium, of course you have to eat waffles!
There are many waffles shop around like this,

and waffles looked nice and it is cheap as well.
The guide from the walking tour recommended us to find a place
where we can dine in, to truly enjoy the waffles.

Thus, i went into Maison Dandoy.
Got a waffles with a scoop of spectaculoos ice-cream.
If you all do not know, spectaculoos is from Belgium.
The spread and biscuits here are so much cheaper than what you can get from Singapore.
This may be more expensive than those waffles you can find on the streets,
but i think you are paying for quality and also having a nice place to enjoy it.
This is definitely the best waffles i have eaten.
This cost: $6.00 Euros (Dine in)
Ended my day at Primark and the supermarket for some shopping.
Did not buy much because my baggage was rather full and i still have several stops to go.
