Belgian waffles are much denser, with a crackly outside and chewy inside. You can get them plain on the go, or topped with a bunch of stuff.
Like strawberries and powder sugar, with a little bit of syrup....
Macarons are my favorite cookies. So when I went to Pierre Marcolini to get chocolates and saw macarons, I had to get a box for myself. Damn, they were good. There were a couple of pistachios, a mojito (bright and citrucy), vanilla, chocolate, and others. All of the flavors were awesome and all of them had the perfect texture - crackly outer cookies and creamy insides. YUM
I also ate a lot of pastries in Brussels. I pretty much ate a lot of everything. Exhibit A, my breakfast one morning was a pain au chocolat and an egg tart. The pain was perfectly light and flaky. The egg tart reminded me of the Chinese egg tarts that I love.
When you get an espresso or cappuccino in Belgium, they usually give you a small piece of cookie or chocolate to nibble. At some places, they also give you a bit of chocolate mouse and cream. Free dessert! I love Belgium.
