FIN: Ingman Ice Cream Kiosk

Image
A scoop of something quintessentially Finnish! Pardon me for not being as active in updating my food blog these days as I've been quite busy recently, not to mention that I was sick for a few days. I've also been trying to churn out more posts to catch up on my  travel blog . Anyway, let's take a look at two flavours of Ingman ice cream from a kiosk at Kauppatori (lit. Market Square) in Helsinki, Finland.

FIN: Hilton Helsinki Airport [Breakfast]

Image
Free flow pickled herring really made my day! Back in Helsinki, Finland, my BFF and I decided to stay at Hilton Helsinki Airport (5*) for one night as we landed at around 10.40pm and we didn't want to rush to go to town. It was certainly a pity that our stay was short, but we truly enjoyed quality buffet breakfast the next day.

BGM: Diamond Lounge @ Brussels Airport (Schengen Area)

Image
Thumbs up only for the cream soup in a lion head bowl~ At last, we'd be heading to our last holiday destination: Helsinki, Finland. We weren't hungry while waiting for our flight that'd depart at 7.20pm from Brussels Airport. However, scared that our stomachs would grumble later before going to bed, we decided to use our Priority Pass membership to check out Diamond Lounge at the Schengen Area.

BGM: Brasserie de la Ville

Image
Any difference between Belgian and French onion soup? Situated near the bustling Grand Place is Brasserie de la Ville, a rather quiet, unassuming restaurant serving local cuisine that may not stand out compared to some others in the area. My BFF and I decided to head to the restaurant after reading many good reviews online.

Virgin experience with rabbit meat stewed with beer! Located within a stone's throw away from Porte De Hal, a medieval fortified city gate of Brussels, Belgium, is a popular restaurant that goes by a nondescript name of Le Bistro. Upon hearing where my BFF and I came from, one of the servers told us that the restaurant receives many people from Singapore every year.

BGM: Friterie Tabora

Image
'Andalouse' and 'Samourai' have nothing to do with Andalusia and Japan! :P For the uninitiated, the origin of the so-called French fries has been traced back to Belgium, not France. Considering a few famous fries shops in Brussels, my BFF and I decided to patronise Friteria Tabora that's located near the central square called Grand Place.

BGM: Maison Dandoy

Image
"Spectaculoos speculoos" and waffle! Don't leave Belgium without indulging in its waffles. That's what everyone says, right? Apart from those that my BFF and I got from small kiosks as we were wandering about Brussels, we also tried one at Maison Dandoy that has been around since 1829, operating a total of ten branches at the point of writing.

Two chocolate danish a day wouldn't harm! I recall having a bit of a hard time trying to decide on which value-for-money hotel to go for in the old town area of Brussels, Belgium.

Serving mussels all the way since 1893! Here's another city to add to the list: Brussels, Belgium! As we hadn't had a proper lunch earlier, we decided to have an early dinner at Chez Leon, a well-known restaurant that has stood the test of time near Floris Arlequin Grand Place Hotel where we were staying at.

Why stop at only one crispy croissant? After reaching Paris, France safe and sound from Sint Maarten in the Caribbean by AF209, my BFF and I continued our journey to the Amsterdam, the Netherlands by AF1340.
