A local told me that I'd find 85+% dark chocolate bars here. I ventured over in hopes of finding…read morethat, but I did not. Instead, I came across those delicious Lotus biscuits!! Now that I'm home, I really wish I bought moreeeeeeeeee! They're located next to a park with a fountain and huge gazebo. I bought some snacks and beer here and enjoyed them under some shade at the park. I also found Cote D'or chocolates to bring back as souvenirs.

I love visiting markets when travel. It gives me a glimpse of local culture. I suppose that a…read moremarket in a touristy area is really only that, a glimpse, because some of the shelves are loaded with touristy gifts. On that note, you can get regular, national brand chocolates here if you don't want to buy the fancy, hand-crafted, small-batch, mom-and-pop, high-end, 100-variety chocolates from the stores that cover the town. The store was clean and had a big variety of stuff for the traveler: water, juice, ready-to-go sandwiches, fruits. I visited a few times to get water for our treks.

OMG!! This store has had a major revamp and face lift!! I went back last night to do some shopping…read more(this one is near my work, i.e. Outside of Brussels city and so was open and business as usual, unlike the shops near my house which is in a proper Brussels suburb and so have been shut for the last 4 days!). Was impressed by the greater variety of bread now available and also the wider aisles now mean you can comfortably pass another cart. Some of the frozen/ freezer section food choices and locations felt a bit wonky to me - so for example the flavored yogurt and plain yogurt are not sure by side but split apart and for me, it makes logical sense that all yogurt, regardless of flavors or plain, are kept together. One huge improvement also is the checkouts - which are more in quantity than before, but the self-service option has been moved to the far right, whereas before it used to be closer to the exit. Next time I go, will try to get some updated pictures of this place, but I like the new look!

The location of this supermarket can look a bit weird at first, being in the middle of the…read moreairport's cargo area, but the benefit is a very easy access right off the Vilvoorde/Cargo exit of the E19 highway. Slightly more expensive, but a very wide choice and I'm always surprised how friendly and helpful the staff in this Melsbroek Delhaize is... if you can't find a product, they gladly explain you and sometimes walk with you to show it... an exception in this category and size of supermarkets. They also have a 'postal point' for many official Belgian postal services (stamps, registered letters, etc.)
