Het Zuid Experience

Instead of exploring the tourist spots of Antwerp, we opt for off the beaten track and head to area called 'Het Zuid'

. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and also museums to soak in.

We first had our lunch at a bistro called Canal nearby the Modern Art Museum. The place already very crowded when we arrived, there is a terrace section but all occupied so we settled for a window seat inside.

I decided to start my day in style with bubbles. They actually poured my cava in Moet & Chandon glass as if I have ordered a glass of champagne.

Johannes decided to feast on Tuna steak which comes in a really huge portion with a bed of tomato under the tuna itself and the side dishes of potatoes and salad. What a feast for lunch.

I am absolutely happy with just a simple Chicken Ciabatta as I want to save some space for tea later.

In Search for Macaron

Yesterday 20^th March 2009 is Jour du Macaron in France. In search for macaron, I have gone that far to Antwerp today, just because I know a salon de thé that sells macarons in Antwerp and that is the closest to us.

These are pretty petit creatures that are hard to resist. Every bite that melts in my mouth is a complete indulgence, so crisps, so light and so pretty.

Eating macaron actually makes me feel sexy and no wonder thousands of French women fall in love with macaron.

Tell you more about the trip to Antwerp tomorrow. Good night!
