They are most famous for their 8-color Xia Long Bao (Steamed Pork Dumplings) and also serve many other Chinese and Cantonese traditional dishes. A Japanese restaurant, which serves a variety of different fried/non-fried meat & seafood dishes. Dim Sum is served in small portions, and come in small steam baskets or small plates like in the photo. I found this Dim Sum place worth trying out because they added more texture and flavors to the traditional dim sum dishes.

There are options of Thalys & Eurostar (the fast direct train about 2 hours) or the normal IC train (direct) that takes an hour longer. However, IC train's ticket is good for the entire day, so one will have more flexibility of which train to take. After 20 minutes of wait, we ordered a few Dim Sum classics, Siu Mai, Steamed Chinese buns with pork, Steam dumplings with prawns, Radish cake, Stewed chicken claws, and a pot of hot oolong tea. There are the classic Shio, Tonkotsu, Vegetarian Shoyu, Miso broths to choose from plus with three different levels of toppings as combination (basic, classic, or classic large).

After living in Seattle for a few years, I have always missed living by the lakes. By coincidence, we discovered there is a place called Château du Lac here in Belgium. Many people were jogging by the lake or simply taking a walk with family, while absorbing all the fresh air and sceneries. Being surrounded by nature is the best way to take my mind off things and keep open-minded.

After watching the race, we returned to the town to enjoy nice dinners and drinks with cozy surroundings. In the evening of summer weather, wearing this double slit maxi piece was absolutely comfortable. And I always like the slit, so that the long fabric doesn't look too heavy. To walk around the town easily, I paired the maxi up with my denim wedges to complete the look.
