Tried all things famous in Belgium...

Chocolates! We tried most of the famous chocolatier in Belgium (Mary, Wittamer, Pierre Macollini and Leonidas. Regretted not trying Neuhaus though) As these are freshly made chocolates, and it has to be consumed within 1 week, we couldn't buy back any. Sad!

At las, with the recommendation of Christian, we bought back limited quantity of Galler. It's really good too and soon we regretted not buying more!
