The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen – Orlando, FL

This place is quite a sensory experience, and in a good way. Steam punk fans will go gaga for this place. The milkshakes are well worth a trip here alone. Lots of fun. Brownie milkshake with chocolate ice cream brownie mixed in and chocolate syrup

Bob Marley–A Tribute to Freedom – Orlando, FL

With live music, friendly service, a nice vibe in the restaurant and pretty decent food this is a good spot in the City Walk. Here is the dish, Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Half chicken char-grilled, chopped, rice and peas, sweet plantains

So here are just a few pictures of easy to grab meals in and around Brussels, Belgium and Eindhoven, Netherlands. They were all tasty and a joy to visit. These were not all the places we ate at, but just the places I felt like or remembered taking pictures. Some places were better than others. The highlights were the liege waffles, warm fresh made stroopwafels, and the amazing herring. Also Kapsalon which is a popular Dutch fast food dish as literally means ‘Barbershop’ and consists out of french fries, kebab, garlic and sambal sauce, melted cheese and salad. It’s called a Kapsalon because it was regularly ordered by a barbershop in Rotterdam. Thank you to the amazing Eijkemans family for such a GREAT time!

Pictured is Pasta Fagioli and Chicken Marsala. The highlight of the meal was the fresh bread basket (not pictured) which had a delcious variety of bread and slices of Tomato Pie. If went back to Bruno’s I would probably just get the Tomato Pie as it was good enough to skip the meal.

Black Horse Diner – Mt Ephraim, NJ

Jersey is famous for their quality diners and this place is no different. Quick efficient service at a good price. No surprises here, just a nice diner. I had Vegetable Soup and entree of Prime Rib with fried string beans and french fries.

Jim’s Lunch – Millville, NJ

Jim’s Lunch – Millville, NJ

This place is retro and in a good way. Very old school feel, decent food, and excellent service. The secret is in the sauce and that was true for both things I had there. Double cheeseburger with everything and Texas Tommy with everything. If in the area, I would definitely go back. Just be aware, they are only open between Columbus Day and Memorial Day so that the staff has the summer season off.

Really enjoyed my time and meal here. Friendly and efficient staff with reasonable prices. Food was good also! Chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone with a side of homemade chips.

Sugarpuddin’s – Clementon, NJ

Sugarpuddin’s – Clementon, NJ

If in the area, you should definitely stop by. The service here made the visit feel like you are a part of their family with free samples to try before ordering and a drink on the house while you wait for the food to get ready. This is what makes you remember a place and go back, and I will certainly stop by again. Pictured is full rack of Baby Back Ribs, pulled pork, french fries, baked beans, string beans, mac and cheese, and corn bread. It was all yummy.

Viet Pho – Deptford, NJ

Viet Pho – Deptford, NJ

What a great time here. They should be having their Grand Opening in about a week or two. The service was top notch and friendly, and the food here really compliments the Deptford Mall area with even more ethnic and food variety to choose from when visiting or shopping in and around South Jersey. I like how this area is now having a good mix of chain and independent restaurants again to appease all palates and needs. If you’re in the area and have a craving for Vietnamese, Viet Pho will certainly cure your need for a fix. Nhan Truong the owner of Viet Pho is no stranger to the restaurant industry as she previously owned Viet Bistro in the Cumberland Mall in Vineland, NJ that received many rave reviews until she sold the restaurant two years ago. Below are some pictures of the meal:

Appetizers:
Crispy Roll Sampler
Fresh Roll Sampler
Lotus Salad with Shrimp
Beef Wrapped Grape Leave, Grilled Shrimp and Chicken.

Main course – Filet Mignon and Oxtail Beef Noodle Soup

Desert- Fried Banana and Honey Ginger Hot Tea (Not pictured as it was eaten as soon as it was put on table)
