On Friday 13 November the Belgian Embassy celebrated King’s Day, which falls on 15 November. For most it is the “de facto” National Day as in summertime most people are away. This year, hundreds of people attended. Ambassador Malherbe hosted a winter reception at his residence and in the surrounding garden. Catering was done by TRB, serving small appetizers (blood sausage, beef stew and other), fish soup, waffles, Belgian fries and more. And thanks to the Embassy, a wide variety of great Belgian beers (some more bottles for my collection!).

TRB missed the right word for “Frietkot”. Not Fritkot. But the fries were OK!
