24-HOURS IN BRUSSELS VLOG (WAFFLES, BEER, CHOCOLATE, GRAND PLACE!!) | 02-01-2019

On the 2nd of January, Robyn's brother dropped us off at Brussels airport so that Robyn and I could catch a train into Brussels Central Station. This will mark the beginning of our 24-hour adventure in Brussels before we catch the train to Amsterdam (where we will spend 2 nights!)

In this video, you'll join us as we walk from Central station directly into the Godiva chocolate shop! :-) Then you'll join us as we check-in to our room at Bedroom.

Afterwards, we will take you on an adventure where we will take you to experience the following;

- Mulled wine
- show you Winter Wonders
- Grand Place
- Cave Du Roy (and eat snails!)
- a place for beer degustation
- the Grand Place light show
- a waffle place
- a comic museum
- a smurf store

We walked into tons of chocolate shops and walked the small cobblestones streets. We did all of this in exactly 24 hours ;)

If you have any questions about our itinerary, let me know in the comments :-)

Filmed: 2nd - 3rd of January 2019

Making of the real Brussels waffle

Honor to the brussels waffle... Due to industrialisation of the Liege waffle on the one hand and a time consuming dough preparation process on the other hand, the 'real' belgian waffle is hard to find in Belgium these days.... So for all tourists, foodies, fans,... this is how it should be made... Enjoy

Grand Place, Manneken Pis, Waffles, and Chocolates in Brussels

Vlog#5 - A visit to Brussels in Belgium is not complete if you haven't tried their famous waffles, yummy chocolates, beers, and more! We were lucky enough to get an AirBnB accommodation courtesy of our cousin and her family who lives in Brussels. The apartment was just less than 3 minutes away from the Grand Place so what would one do if you have 2 days to spare in Brussels? Of course, you walk around, eat at some eateries and try their waffles, and chocolates!

The Grand Place in Brussels is called the Grote Markt which is the central square. It is close to the Central Station. So, if you are arriving by train to Brussels, you can get off at the Central Station and just few minutes walk and you will be at the heart of this famous square.

The square is surrounded by beautiful, and opulent looking Guildhalls, Town Hall, and the Museum of Brussels. An alley between the Town Hall, and Beer Museum will lead you to the famous Manneken Pis or the Peeing Boy. It is a small statue and one way to know you are near the statue is when you see plenty of tourists flocking in one area for a photo op. :) We got lucky that day and managed to snap a photo without other tourists. It was late in the afternoon and most tour groups have left.

Aside from that, you must also try the waffles, and the Belgian chocolates. They are really, really good! I decked my waffles with lots of strawberries and whipped cream. Yummy! We bought our waffles at the Le Funambule. As for chocolates, you can just try anything there. If you want the more expensive ones then go for Godiva, and Leonidas.

We also looked for the Jeanneke Pis. It is the female version of the Manneken Pis. It was a bid hard to find but we just asked around and managed to find it. I am a bit disappointed though. The Jeanneke Pis is behind a grilles so you can't take a decent photo of it. And just across the Jeanneke Pis is one of the known bars in Brussels - Delirium. We went inside for some fun photo ops because they have so many novelty decors of beers, kegs, etc. Any beer lovers would love to take a photo here or even stay for a cold beer.

We enjoyed the time we have spent here. It was a far cry from my first visit where it rained most of the time. Seeing the guild houses and other buildings during the day and past dusk with the lights illuminating the facade of these buildings, giving them beautiful golden glow. It's just beautiful.

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more of our travels and adventures! Let's travel!

Authentic Waffles in Brussels with Waffle Workshop

My experience learning to make authentic waffles in Brussels with Waffle Workshop

Brussels Waffles

Hello everyone, welcome to my channel! Today we are making Brussels Waffles! This is the second episode of our waffle series, so enjoy!
哈喽大家好我是松灵！今天我要教大家做布鲁塞尔华夫饼！

Part One:
Vinaigrette recipe:

List of Ingredients (Yields about 15 Waffles)
Waffles:
1. 3 large eggs
2. 370g (1.5 cups) of lukewarm (38℃/100℉) milk, preferably whole
3. 360g (1.5 cups) of sparkling water, room temperature
4. 475g (approx. 3¾ cups) self-rising flour
5. 170g (12tbsp/1.5 sticks) butter
6. 1 packet of dry active yeast
7. 12g (1tbsp) of sugar
8. A pinch of salt

Toppings:
1. 1/2 avocado
2. 3 cherry tomatoes
3. 4 slices of prosciutto
4. A small handful of alfalfa sprouts
5. A drizzle of vinaigrette dressing

Notes:
1. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute with a mixture of 3¾ cups of flour,2 tbsp baking powder and 1 tsp of salt
2. When beating the egg whites, make sure the whisk/hand mixer and the bowl you use are completely clean and dry
3. Authentic Brussels waffles have deeper pockets than the ones I made, but from where I live it’s very hard to find a true Belgian waffle maker for home use, and the commercial ones are way too expensive. So, I decided to work with what I have, and the waffles came out delicious anyways :D

配料表 （大约15个华夫饼）
华夫饼：
1. 3 个鸡蛋 (大约60g/个)
2. 370g (1.5 cups) 温牛奶 (大约38℃/100℉)
3. 360g (1.5 cups) 室温气泡水
4. 475g (大约3¾ cups) 自发粉 (self-rising flour)
5. 170g (12tbsp/1.5 sticks) butter
6. 1 小包活性干酵母 （7g）
7. 12g (1tbsp) 白砂糖
8. 一小撮盐

配料（只是给大家做参考）：
1. 1/2个牛油果
2. 苜蓿芽（或者任何你喜欢的绿叶生菜）
3. 3颗圣女果
4. 4片意大利风干火腿
5. 适量油醋汁

小贴士：
1. 没有自发粉的小伙伴可以把475g中筋面粉，28g泡打粉跟6g盐混合，代替自发粉
2. 打发蛋白之前请确认打蛋器跟用的碗是无水无油的，不然蛋白很可能没法打发
3. 正宗的布鲁塞尔华夫饼是真正的长方形（不是我这种两块儿正方形拼起来的…）并且华夫格比我做出来的更深一些。但是加拿大买不到家用级别的正宗比利时华夫饼机，餐馆商用级别的贵到我完全买不起哈哈。不过形状什么的不是最关键的，好吃就行了哈！

Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist, Donnie was graphic designer, but we both had a dream to travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! We don't know how long we will get to do this, and we do have a goal of getting jobs in the UK eventually, but we are going to live it to the fullest while we can!

ON TOUR - BRUSSELS (WAFFLES)

Follow the bear traveling the world on Facebook and Twitter: @abearontour

Brussels, Belgium, The Land of Chocolate, Waffles and Beers. Manneken Pis.

Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619. The 61 cm tall bronze statue on the corner of Rue de l'Etuve and Rue des Grands Carmes was made in 1619 by Brussels sculptor Hieronimus Duquesnoy the Elder, father of the more famous François Duquesnoy. The figure has been repeatedly stolen: the current statue dates from 1965. The original restored version is kept at the Maison du Roi/Broodhuis on the Grand Place.
There are several legends behind this statue, but the most famous is the one about Duke Godfrey III of Leuven. In 1142, the troops of this two-year-old lord were battling against the troops of the Berthouts, the lords of Grimbergen, in Ransbeke (now Neder-Over-Heembeek). The troops put the infant lord in a basket and hung the basket in a tree to encourage them. From there, the boy urinated on the troops of the Berthouts, who eventually lost the battle.
Another legend states that in the 14th century, Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held its ground for some time, so the attackers conceived of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Julianske happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated on the burning fuse and thus saved the city. There was at the time (middle of the 15th century, perhaps as early as 1388) a similar statue made of stone. The statue was stolen several times.
Another story (told often to tourists) tells of a wealthy merchant who, during a visit to the city with his family, had his beloved young son go missing. The merchant hastily formed a search party that scoured all corners of the city until the boy was found happily urinating in a small garden. The merchant, as a gift of gratitude to the locals who helped out during the search, had the fountain built.
Another legend was that a small boy went missing from his mother when shopping in the centre of the city. The woman, panic-stricken by the loss of her child, called upon everyone she came across, including the mayor of the city. A city-wide search began and when at last the child was found, he was urinating on the corner of a small street. The story was passed down over time and the statue erected as a tribute to the well-known legend.
Another legend tells of the young boy who was awoken by a fire and was able to put out the fire with his urine, in the end this helped stop the king's castle from burning down.
Traditions: The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to a published schedule which is posted on the railings around the fountain. His wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes, many of which may be viewed in a permanent exhibition inside the City Museum, located in the Grand Place, immediately opposite the Town Hall. The costumes are managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, who review hundreds of designs submitted each year, and select a small number to be produced and used.
Although the proliferation of costumes is of twentieth-century origin, the occasional use of costumes dates back almost to the date of casting, the oldest costume on display in the City Museum being of seventeenth-century origin. The changing of the costume on the figure is a colourful ceremony, often accompanied by brass band music. Many costumes represent the national dress of nations whose citizens come to Brussels as tourists; others are the uniforms of assorted trades, professions, associations, and branches of the civil and military services.
On occasion, the statue is hooked up to a keg of beer. Cups will be filled up with the beer flowing from the statue and given out to people passing by.
