Food Festival At Our Doorstep

The chitter chatter of people talking and laughing, wine glasses clinking, musicians entertaining the crowds, and the local restaurants and cafes proudly serving their dish of the day at their stall. It was an absolutely splendid food festival last weekend, downstairs from where we live. Here's a bird's eye view from our apartment. The festival started on Friday night and ended on Sunday. The local restaurants in our neighbourhood each had a stall, they served a different dish each day, and had to change stall position everyday as well. Needless to say, Paul and I, being big foodies, were there every night. Why cook when you have a food festival at your doorstep? My fave dishes were carpaccio of duck meat and duck liver, freshly shucked oysters with a balsamic vinaigrette, lamb teriyaki skewers (perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth) and Mexican meatballs with rice. Also, had a delicious dessert called Bossche Ijsbol. It was like a choc eclair with a massive ice cream ball inside, whipped cream, hot choc sauce poured on top and came with a shot of chilled port. I should have taken some photos of the food but I was too busy eating.
