Belgium! Discovering Ghent, Bruges and Brussels…Part Five.

On our last day in Belgium, we wandered around Brussels a bit aimlessly. A happy and relaxed last-day-on-holiday sort of aimlessness. Eyeing the shop windows for choccy, stopping in for moule frites, exploring some back streets and churches. Blissful wandering.

Camera in hand as always.

Adventures with Duck

My spectacular trip to London this Summer involved my first ever Peking Duck experience, which I shall never forget, no matter how many more brain injuries I sustain in my life.We did a little sight-seeing…

Before you know it we were on a tipsy mission, wandering the streets of London in search of a duck feast.

Soon enough we were seated in a fabulously elegant Chinese restaurant ordering a duck and a half, and even more wine…

Patiently awaiting the duck feast!

The spread…

So here is what you do to make your taste buds have the biggest most fantastical explosive party in your mouth ever…

You take a pancake, you spread some plum sauce on it, you add cucumber and spring onions…

You grab a nice tender chunk of duck meat and top it with a crispy crunchy lacquered duck skin crackling and you roll it up as quickly as possible – inhaling it is preferable.

Oh! And they clean the rest of the duck and stir fry it with bean sprouts!

There is no shame! Only joy!
