Mussels from Brussels

On the first week I was in Maastricht, I remember Derek saying we must have mussels in Brussels when we visit Brussels. To be honest, I never knew that Brussels was known for having good mussels. Haha, in honesty, the only thing I could think of was the movie "Muscles from Brussels" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme! =p


In any case, while in Brussels, Derek and I found a really nice street which was filled with restaurants selling cooked Mussels and Paellas. Imagine Boat Quay, with all the seafood restaurant people trying to grab you into their restaurants, and you will have a pretty good idea what the atmosphere was like on that street.


About the food...all I can say is that it was the best bowl of garlic mussels I have ever tasted! The price was really good too, 10 Euros for a bowl of mussels, a plate of french fries, and a glass of beer! Oh yes, Belgian beer rocks! Its was a very nice dinner...very nice indeed. =)
