A market at The Markt , Bruges

Bruges, Belgium is medieval town which has streets and canels together with buildings for tourists to enjoy. In the centre of Bruges, there are full of major attractions such as town halls, Museums, and The Markt.

The Markt is 13th century market square located in the mid of Bruges -- it has Medieval gabled housed at the rim, while every Saturday there is a market holding !!!


The market covers with a van selling fresh grocery (meats & vegetable), plants, flowers, and cooked foods & snack. There were some shops that tempted us to buy such as : waffle stall espeically roasted chicken ... There were Big Vans with Big Ovens -- grilling in front of us including Big Glass tray -- showing finished / grilled big size of chicken and big size of chicken tight !!!














Eating Roasted Chicken with hands outdoor was fun !!! Look at the brownish of chicken skin (at the right hand picture) ... Nothing was fun as this ... It was big, was hot, was tasty, was tender (even bare hand can tear the bone off), and was salty !!!

Let's say ... no more lunch for me that day since my stomach was full with this chicken piece till dinner time !!!

LoLo the Chicken Conqueror ...

Belgium Cafe / Bar

In Belgium, we easily found cafe & bar in every street (and almost corner of the street). When the weather is good (sunny - no sun), we also found that most of people sat outside (grilling themselves with sun) with a cup of coffee, a pot of tea, or a glass of Belgian Beer. Remember ... Belgium makies more beers, in a greater mix of styles and flavours, than any other country in the world.










Most cafes serve selection of alcoholic drinks as well as soft drinks, while most bars offer coffee in addition to alcohol together with the light snack or meals (petite restauration).


Here is one of the look that we went for in Bruges ... Bruges is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Belgium -- being one of UNESCO Heritage City. It's north of Brussels (around 45 minutes by train from Brussels). It located in the north of Brussels with the River Dijver (where most of tourist like to take a cruise on -- even it rain).

Yes, for us, we went for tea & coffee instead during raining. This is because we walked along the way It was one theon Wollestraat to Dijver which was near the canel -- The shop name was 'La Paaisone Cafe' -- From outside it looked woody green and classic while inside was in modern look managed by one young guy ... a coffee was served in tray same as tea ... as Belgium Tradition, chocolate must be accompanied with !!! One thing I noticed was that in Belgium Cafe, hot milk was not served with hot coffee or hot tea -- most milk or cream was in room temperature (which was cool or was stored in fridge before) ...












At this cafe, there was special since the owner also gave us biscuits together with one small glass of yellow dessert pudding ... after we tasted it, it contained with strong alcohol ... but it was so yummy !!!
