A Sarny in my Brussels Appartment

Image
So here I am, in my new abode in Brussels, with a hankering for a bite to eat, when I remember an old classic sandwich I used to buy in Edinburgh. Take some bread, in this case hailing from the home of a well known Trapist beer,spread a layer of Philadelphia Cheese add some chopped banana, some raisins, walnuts and drizzle wih honey. I'm not knocking other snacks, but, all we are saying is give piece a chance. Fantastic!

Cheers

Port des Indes

Port des Indes is something of a rarity in Brussels, a top quality Indian restaurant. The Thali I ate there tonight was excellent and wouldn't have been out of place in one of the UK's finest Indian eatery's. I was especially impressed with the wooden statue of Stacia on the stairwell. Perhaps I was just Born To Go there. The owner, Belgian nomad and antiques collector Karl Steppe, also runs the Blue Elephant Thai restaurant in Brussels. On the strength of the quality of the Indian food I had tonight I'll have to pay that a visit some time. La Porte des Indes Brussels 455 Av.

From there the restaurant is a short walk up the street.
