After a cosy 1.5 hour ride on the Thalys from Paris to Brussels, we arrived dreary and hungry. I was particularly glad that there was plenty to choose from at the train station instead of searching! I have to clarify though that "plenty to choose from" meant sandwiches specifically. There was also a Carrefour outlet there to stock up on the daily necessities.
Panos it was for a quick bite. Panos is like Subway or Quizznos locally. The queues are neverending though brisk.
The second attempt at ordering food upon touching down. When in doubt, always point. Gesturing was probably not too great a universal langugage until now.
Croissant (0,85€)
First thing that struck me was the price. Less than HALF the price of the croissant we had at Charles De Gauille Airport. If anything, croissants are supposed to be the cheapest thing to have. This was better than CDG's, fluffier, crispier with a lovely buttery finish. So good, I can more than just one.
Chicken BBQ Sandwich (3€)
Neatly wrapped perfect for a take and go or tuck under your pits the way movies always protray.
A new flavour on the menu. The juicy chicken slices and baguette was delish but the sauce had alot of getting used to. Did not fancy their kind of BBQ Sauce - salty, sticky and sweet. Oh wait, to begin with...BBQ sauce has never been one of my favourites.
The first meal in Brussels, went without a hitch! Tummy filled, time to find our way to the hotel! On hindsight, I am so thankful we found that without much fuss too.
