Almost 10pm and my husband and I were feeling peckish. We’d only had a sandwich each from Le P’tit Normand hours ago, and our stomachs were demanding something more substantial. That’s when Black & White Burger came to mind – just a minute’s walk from our Aparthotel Adagio Brussels Grand Place, right next to Galet […]

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is this artisan French patisserie in Brussels that specialises in traditional Flemish meringue treats. They’ve got two spots in the city—one’s a pure takeaway patisserie, the other’s a tearoom where you can actually sit and enjoy your sweets with a proper coffee. Stumbling Upon Aux Merveilleux de Fred Grand Place I […]

I was just craving a good sandwich when I ended up at Le P’tit Normand, right in the heart of Brussels near Grand Place. It was meant to be a quick bite, but it quickly turned into one of those unexpectedly memorable food stops. From the street, it looks like just another takeaway counter. Small […]

I’m usually not one to get excited over sweet shops. But while strolling around Brussels, La Belgique Gourmande immediately caught my attention. There was something about the colourful displays and the way the candies were arranged — very Harry Potter–like, almost magical. So of course, I had to go inside. The moment I stepped in, […]

If you love European architecture like I do, Mini-Europe is one of those attractions in Brussels that’s really worth making time for. I was most excited about visiting Mini-Europe when I was doing my research and planning this trip. The thought of seeing all of Europe’s most famous landmarks in one place sounded pretty fun. […]

Chez Léon was on my to-eat list the moment I arrived in Brussels. Really wanted to try a traditional Belgian meal and this place kept popping up everywhere when I did my research. Established in 1893, this family-owned spot is best known for its mussels and frites. No fancy concept, just good Belgian food done […]

Galet was literally next door to our hotel in Brussels. We spotted it on day one whilst exploring the area – just a minute’s walk away. Perfect for a breakfast stop one morning. The Coffee at Galet We went for a regular coffee (€3) and a Macchiato (€4.80). Right off the bat, both were pretty […]

We were wandering around Brussels when we spotted this long queue snaking outside Fritland. Classic sign of good food, right? Problem was, we’d just smashed a heavy lunch and honestly couldn’t stomach more food at that point. Mental note made: come back later when the queue dies down. Which we did. Can I just say, […]

You can’t visit Brussels without trying their waffles, right? That’s what everyone says. So when I was hunting for waffle places on Google, Maison Dandoy kept showing up everywhere. We decided to check it out ourselves. The setup is pretty straightforward. Ground floor has the retail boutique if you’re just grabbing products to go. But […]

Manhattn’s Burgers became our very first meal in Brussels, and honestly, it set the bar ridiculously high for everything else that followed. Hubby mentioned we hadn’t had a proper burger in ages. A quick Google search for the best burger places in Brussels led us to discover Manhattn’s Burgers. The reviews were glowing. We had […]

Aparthotel Adagio Brussels Grand Place was our home base for exploring Brussels after checking out from Tribe Amsterdam City. We hopped on an InterCity train from Amsterdam Centraal (booked via Trainline) – it stops everywhere, takes forever, but hey, cheaper and the timing worked perfectly for us. Getting to Aparthotel Adagio Brussels Grand Place The […]

Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre caught my interest because it’s relatively new, having opened just 1.5 years ago. My husband kept nagging about wanting to stay near Chinatown for late-night adventures, so here we are. I checked Expedia while writing this. A Classic Queen Room for December 2025 costs S$210 including taxes. That’s the room […]

FEBO caught our attention after spotting several outlets while wandering around Amsterdam. On our final day before heading to Brussels, we decided to give this iconic Dutch fast-food chain a proper try. What Makes FEBO Different FEBO started back in 1941 in Amsterdam. They serve typical fast-food fare like fries, burgers, and fried snacks. But […]

Keukenhof Gardens with Windmill Cruise sounds like the perfect Amsterdam day trip on paper. The Netherlands churns out more tulips than anywhere else on earth, so visiting this spring park feels almost mandatory when you’re in town. But here’s the thing – after spending a full day on this tour, I’ve got some thoughts you’ll […]

Polaberry caught me completely off guard during my Amsterdam trip. This is one of those rare times I went for something that looks beautiful over something I knew would be delicious. Those social media feeds got me good. Rocked up at Polaberry literally 6 minutes before closing time. Big mistake. The counter staff was properly […]

The Happy Pig Pancake Shop became our saving grace after Upstairs Pancakes turned us away without a reservation. We’d wanted to try that famous spot housed in a 16th century building with its really steep stairs leading up to the dining area. But no reservation meant no pancakes there. Located just 500 metres away, The […]
