Places visited in this video:
Noordzee / Mer Du Nord
Cafe Au Brasseur
Friterie Tabora
Chocolatier Elisabeth
Leonidas
Los Churros & Waffles
Stoofvlees / carbonade flamande recipe:
3 large onions
1-1.2 kg of beef or pork meat, cut into large dices (let's say around 2 cm x 2 cm)
2-3 bottles of dark Belgian beer (preferably Leffe - 2 or 3 depends on how much you need to submerge the meat when you cook the sauce)
2 tablespoons of sirop de Liege / Luikse siroop (you can order it with worldwide shipping here: store.belgianshop.com/honey-s... or at any Belgian store in the country you live)
2 slices of dark bread
2 tablespoons of mustard
2 bay leaf
1 clove
pinch of salt, pepper, thyme
How to prepare the dish:
*Peel and roughly chop the onions
*Heat a large stew and melt a knob of butter in it. Stew the onions in it over medium heat. Do not brown the onions.
*Heat a frying pan (STICKY KIND) over medium to high heat and melt a knob of butter in it, as well as olive oil so that it is 50/50 butter/olive oil.
*Sear the pieces of meat in the frying pan until they have a golden brown crust. Season the meat during baking with some ground pepper and a pinch of salt. It is best to fry a large amount of meat in several batches (to avoid releasing too much moisture, in which case you will cook the meat instead of searing it).
*Put the pieces of meat in the stew with onions.
*Deglaze the frying pan by pour in the brown beer and stirring it until all of the meaty pieces come off the pan and until the beer is boiling
*Once the beer is boiling, pour the entire contents of the pan into the meat stew. (Never pour cold beer directly onto the meat.) The meat has to be submerged in the Leffe. Add the bay leaves, thyme and let them cook in the pot.
*Add the clove (forgot to mention this in the video) and the apple-pear syrup (sirop de Liege).
*Generously spread a large slice of brown bread with sharp mustard. Place in the pot, on top of the meat, with the mustard-covered side down.
*Let simmer for 1 to 3 hours (1 for pork, more for beef) on medium heat until the meat is tender. Keep the lid OFF the jar until the sauce has a good thickness (stir frequently to avoid burning the meat). Then put the lid on after that so that the meat just cooks in the sauce. Stir regularly and check regularly.
*Bon appetit ;)

[@NaickKim]

Thank you for watching - it means a lot to us 🤗 want to see more Belgian food in the future? Let us know and we'll try to include it in the next videos. See you in the next one for the big reveal of our new future plans! 😉 we are super excited to share it with you SOON!

[@giannishen]

Yes, please, I would like to see more Belgian food in the future for sure. You both did a great job again. Please say hi to your family for Taiwan. We love them as well.

[@icebaby6714]

Thanks for the video, I never visited Belgium before, what amazing country, great food, beer and chocolate...I'm glad you are finally back home, and enjoy life on a beautiful day.

[@g.c.7456]

Thanks for uploading this great video,and sure, more Belgian foods sound great to me. I think I will note down all your introduction, so that I can try them out when I visit Brussels. I also super enjoyed watching the part you guys cooking at Kim's parents'😘❤️😍. Looking forward to watching more home-cooking footages from you guys😁😉

[@cclathome]

Kim, Your parents’ kitchen has got a Thermomix, hahaha. Do they use it a lot? The homemade dinner looked delicious. Nothing is better than sit down with the closed ones and enjoy a meal.

[@dhondtpasquale5247]

thank you so much guys for showing us the great stuff Belgian has to offer, for us it looks like normal, for other people it's surprising, my Taiwanese bf is like "wauw i can not wait to taste all of this (specially the beer lol)", you both make me feel proud being belge!

[@hexdiagonal6450]

the homecooking part was the best part of the video, that looked really nice. Grimbergen dark is my farvorit.

[@lonavideos3426]

Brussels is the city that has everything you need❤️

[@NaickKim]

YES we agree 😍😭

[@amychen4922]

I first heard 布魯塞爾 for Brussels in a geography class. For decades I had never thought about to visit this capital city of Belgium till seeing its beauty in previous video. And I now desperately wish to indulge myself in those fancy chocolate shops some day. 😋

[@ericbauwens824]

you can replace the sirop de Liège by currant gelly plus a little bit brown sugar(cassonade brune) for the taste . you can also replace the normal bread slices by gingerbread(pain d'épice) if you want improve the taste .

[@giannishen]

荷蘭修道院啤酒杯意外反射出街景，蠻有意境之美； 喜歡比利時的美食，真想飛到比利時大快朵頤一番； 每一道看起來都好好吃，謝謝 Naick & Kim 的介紹； 期待看 Naick 父母，也期待看他們一起做好吃料理！👍🥰✌

[@lanlee4002]

Fried shrimp sticks and fried clams with garlic look delicious, will they be expensive? It would be perfect if it was eaten with beer at the same time. Chocolates and muffins look so tempting! There are also naick’s specialty dishes and I want to drool. After watching your videos, I realized that Belgium has so many delicacies besides muffins, chocolates, and beer. I look forward to continuing to appreciate your introduction to Belgium, regardless of the food, beauty and culture

[@coffeenhighheels]

i have to say Belgium has the best fries in the universe! beers, chocolate and seafood....so good!

[@NaickKim]

Yes ww missed all those things 🥰

[@TheGeorgianSmoker670]

Belgium is my allmost favorite country. From Luxembourg

[@lala-ct9ir]

Great recipe, I'm often in Belgium for work and have enjoyed your food very much. Well, not right now of course, but hope to come again once this pandemic is over and continue where I left off.

[@pingshang2670]

謝謝Naick&kim的美食介紹與美食料理，kim的父母看起來很親切，朋友也是，kim的家也很漂亮。

[@TheathePitbull]

I didn't think that Kim looked like her dad until he smiled; then I thought, 'Oh, my God - same smile!'

[@NaickKim]

Yes I look like him a lot. Except the moustache. Mine is fancier 😉

[@toota3897]

@@NaickKim 😂😂😂😂

[@jchsien1205]

You guys must be the most lucky travelers in 2020 without locked down by Covid 19. Stay safe and enjoy your life.

[@latebloomerabroad]

Le carbonade flamande is one of my favorite dishes too! I have it every time I visit my cousin in Lille; it's the fantastic beer that makes it so special! YUMMY!

[@jennib11]

I have some great ideas now because I'm visiting Bruges in Dec. I want to try it ALL haha

[@MLCh3n]

So interesting your Belgian life, thank you intro your culture, it’s really different from Taiwan or Asia.

[@prakasharjunbodwade]

Those chocolate looked master piece especially the white chocolate with hazelnut stuffing, beers were tempting.

[@weifeiwong551]

很喜欢你们的国家，保留很好的历史文化和很多美食。祝你们幸福快乐，身体健康。台湾朋友都很喜欢你们😊❤️

[@jack64228]

Everything looks so delicious in Belgium.

[@ginnienuckles3992]

I have only seen 2 of your videos so far but am planning a trip to Europe in the spring into summer,, I think brussels is a must on my list !!

[@jamesc571]

And I must say you two are professional when it comes to beer and chocolate! the very in-depth , detail introduction to the beer and chocolate culture just amazing :)

[@Brad_Pittstop]

I live in Belgium and like this video a lot. We have amazing chocolate musea where you can eat as much chocolate as you want. It looks like you are transported to Willy Wonka's factory. If you're ever in Belgium, you should visit a place like The Chocolate Nation in Antwerp.

[@user-uw9oi6uk6i]

看完影片後～肚子餓了 美食和風景都好吸引人😍 讓人想去比利時🇧🇪旅行🧳

[@neilmcclelland2615]

Love this video - thanks for pinpointing a few food highlights out - my girlfriend and I are going to Brussels in a couple of weeks - only for 3 days though - I am a massive foodie so cheers 🍺

[@fjo348]

Now we know where Kim gets her amazing smile 😃! Kim’s dad and mum looks so nice and warm, maybe we can have another cooking video with chef dad?😄 The dish looks so yummy 🤤

[@Daniel129ish]

終於有空看你們的影片了，恭喜你們回國！ 開始想念你們在臺灣旅遊的影片, 也謝謝影片都有中文字幕， 會繼續支持你們，希望疫情能慢慢消失，期待你們再次光臨臺灣。

[@Mrsxmasbaby]

Please do more of Belgian，food，culture，scenery ，history， etc。 We’re planning a trip to Belgian. Thanks 🙏

[@federicomaisch6812]

Muy feel great to be back home

[@user-yl7mt9qe7m]

👍😊這樣去玩就知道吃那些食物💯👍

[@kendon8185]

比利時鬆餅（Waffle）真的好吃😋，台灣也有賣。 PS. 翻譯稱為華夫餅（中國用語），台灣人都叫它比利時鬆餅。

[@icebaby6714]

They use Google Translator.

[@ys760621]

we use to cook shrimp with beer,add some pepper garlic green onions, fry till dry ,eat with Taiwan beer

[@qiyings]

Now I am looking forward to visit Belgium!

[@ob96275]

You guys are like living in heaven! Love this video!

[@skjhfuihff08757]

The meat looks delicious 😋 I remember eating wild rabbit and mussels in Brussel.

[@ashleyyou8684]

Naick & Kim 介紹的布魯塞爾特色美食真的超級用心，也能感受到居民生活的從容悠閒。 Kim 父母家的廚房真是寬敞明亮，而且比利時的男人都很能下廚做菜，一家人一起準備餐點，既能培養感情也讓下廚這件事變得有樂趣且快速，這就讓很多台灣人羨慕不已。

[@Luckydaychannel]

Wow Amazing! I have been to Belgium once. I love this place

[@stanleywtang]

Belgium would be the 1st country I wanna visit when it's safe to travel!

[@peeeytaste4224]

I Love this channel alot ! Thank u naick & kim I'm your fans from indonesia

[@NaickKim]

Thank youuuuu

[@D--man]

Thanks for the tips for when we plan our trip to Belgium... Whenever that may be. Might try the recipe too. Nice to see you parents, Kim!!!

[@jaylintsai6699]

看起來都好好吃喔～ 😍😍

[@fakescorpion112]

Really wanted to taste those chocolate, yum yum.

[@cate9963]

Those beer, chocolate, waffle and the home-cooked meal all look so good!

[@towtu7088]

很棒的介紹影片，謝謝你們總是細心的拍攝各地區的特色與風情，我身歷其境。

[@richchen9493]

Good food and nice country

[@davidross7932]

A new favorite Kim and Naick video for me!!! Great job!

[@empyreum6869]

You made me remember the Stoofvlees recipe from my dad. it's stoofvlees made with abt 12 which is belgian quadrupel that tastes like honey. Thinking about that recipe can make my stomach feel like I have some space left after a 12 course meal.

[@Aroiaus]

The chips look awesome and they're cheaper than here in Australia. Brussels is beautiful.

[@huangjacqueline9581]

I love your parent's kitchen and food looks so yum!

[@Jason-oe5gu]

My family's bucket list

[@yvolemo]

Naick is such an awesome chief!! If you guys don't do traveling videos, cooking videos are good option too!! Can I please know how to make the mesh potatoes? I think every family has their own way of making it.

[@realcowdead8855]

I’m lucky that I live in Belgium bc the fries are soooooo gooooooood

[@NaickKim]

Oh yessss! We really miss those good fries when we are traveling!

[@user-zo5zc5ks8d]

好多美食😍😍 每個都很想嘗試看看🤤🤤 Naick跟爸爸的廚藝真厲害👍 謝謝你們的分享🥰🥰

[@smartassociates6253]

Naick Kim it was very impressive and nice to see the video about Belgium... it was my first video which i have seen Belgium

[@hussainlaw9324]

Feeling hungry 😋 after seeing this . Really it's looking yummy 🙂 . Thanks for sharing this .

[@kendon8185]

布魯塞爾的街道幾乎沒有汽車或速可達，環保城市 Awesome

[@timomalley9694]

Thanks so much for sharing the sights and tastes, first of your hometown and now of Brussels! You two are fantastic tour guides, hosts, connoisseurs, and cooks. You provide the best escapes from the familiar and routine. Keep up the great work!

[@debbiemccallister1852]

Another fab video..you sure have put Belgium on my list of places to visit..🙂

[@chineric00]

Thanks for the food tour. I got to know more of the local eats. Love your family gathering and the cooking of the classic dish :)

[@maierkang]

I need to try cooking that. Looks yummy

[@verarod0730]

Aha, carbonade flamamd, love this dish.❤️

[@leavejustinealone8613]

I thank God, that I saw your first vlog in Fenghuang, China, after that I started watching your videos, and I loved it!! You guys are the best!!! Love from the Philippines!

[@karenlovesreading2853]

Wow...Belgian food looks really amazing and delicious, everything in this video makes me want to try a bit :D Thanks, Naick and Kim.

[@Brad_Pittstop]

Belgian food is one of the best in the world.

[@mathiasm8489]

This is how we really eat it in belgium!

[@fredericktmiller]

I'm hungry! Trying the fluffy waffle which wasn't one of the things was a nice bit of food drama, as you've provided from places far from home. Americans would likely be afraid to put two slices of mustard and bread on top. Must make a great sauce.

[@daisyrainmark]

Good job, Chef Naick. It looks so so yummy and tasty!

[@user-ys4ky9mk6z]

讚，看的我都餓了，哈哈哈~

[@swymore1]

Great video, you guys are so natural honest and cool. I can tell the things you think are tasty really are tasty! I am a new subscriber from New York.

[@NaickKim]

Thanks a lot Stephen! Nice to have you on board from across the pond 😃

[@spotterq]

這個家常菜看起來好吸引人喔！我看了好想吃....😋

[@heartforall5853]

Yes please share more recipes! :)

[@ziontours5893]

Nice to see the men cooking, even though Kim's mother also joined in.

[@susanmance9436]

I stand corrected. I will from now on call them "Belgian Fries."

[@davidalbert8831]

Hallo Susan how are you?

[@SeArCh4DrEaMz]

thank you :)

[@deathrow7391]

Thanks, now i can die peacefully. Love from belgium

[@tigrisrgn4062]

belgians make the most delicious fries, but they were originally invented in france

[@zhuravlik26]

Thanks a lot for the recipe of the stew! Cooked it today, and enjoyed a lot, it is so awesome. I forgot to buy sirop de Liege, and used red vinegar instead, and it was also good. The next time will try the fully authentic recipe.

[@yuan-linghuang1633]

光聽家常菜的作料，就能想像會是酒香四溢，令人食指大動的慢熬細燉佳餚。個中作料有牛油、碎洋蔥、豬肉塊、比利時黑啤酒、黑麥麵包、芥末、糖漿、月桂葉、丁香、百里香、胡椒粉及鹽等。

[@user-de5uz8fj7s]

Yuan-ling HUANG 而且還要加上“焦香”撲鼻的香氣～

[@yuan-linghuang1633]

李敏如 Naick講他用厚重的鑄鐵紅色燉鍋，為的就是避免煮糊飄出焦苦氣味。

[@kellasheng560]

Wow，I am starving.

[@federicomaisch6812]

Thank you for sharing

[@NaickKim]

My pleasure

[@fakescorpion112]

Belgian food looks delicious and I love seafood!

J’ai tres faim! Would you please share the recipe? It looks so yummy and delicious. Homemade food wow I love it!

[@user-xs4bf6sp7e]

你們家鄉的美食真棒、朋友家的小妹妹真可愛、海鲜美食.酒的種類好多_餅乾、巧克力多樣式的甜点,真可口.最棒的是你們燉煮的豬肉比台灣燉煮的還功夫了得-一定很美味、更棒哦?一樣的菜色.豬肉.不一樣的國家煮法.真的肉香噴鼻,真的好棒.好幸福、謝謝!你們.家人的分享~好感恩

[@user-ob1le1zh2i]

非常想看你們煮美食及家人之間的互動！

[@jessie7472]

我有點想念你們在台灣的時光呢.... 比利時 真是好地方 ...請你們務必要保護好自己 畢竟 歐洲真的疫情 比台灣嚴峻很多... 加油 我會繼續支持你們的頻道喔!

[@user-ws1uc4xd9i]

透過妳們的鏡頭真的超想去比利時🇧🇪，想看看那美麗的建築跟街道，還有美食😋

[@tapon_brock]

hi, so delicious video . could I ask that after potato crushed, and some white sauce added into potato. was it cream? wanna to know what cream is. thank you~

[@whiskyhot886]

強大的字幕君 感謝有你們👍👍👍👍👍

[@JustPattyOrozco]

Guys I love the video, Maybe we will share our version of this delicious dish in our channel, you have a new subscriber now, I am a Latina living in Belgium, I hope I can meet you some day, a big hug

[@goupigoupi6953]

More Belgian beer videos please! Lambic, Chimay... and pairing the beers with the right cheese.

[@NaickKim]

Chimay Bleu is my (Naick) favourite beer actually 😁 So many wonderful beers in Belgium...

[@user-lq7mb4bc8o]

很棒的介紹 !

[@modo8507]

海裡的鍋牛!好神奇的食物喔.其他海鮮看起來很新鮮.城市好美.最喜歡露天街道那份悠閒的用餐環境.啤酒好多種喔!比利時的巧克力好讚.

[@user-yo6kr3bn2e]

謝謝你們用中文字幕、很棒的影片、謝謝你們的分享！

[@sam30119]

Good to know these places even though I went there many times. It still attracts me to go again. BTW, I like the style of 6 beers in a row, how can I order them in a bar? I never do it before and I wanna try. lol Thanks for the informative introduction about Brussels.

[@kathylecluyse7820]

Ask for a "meter bier"!

[@user-kq5ek4pm3m]

做菜的這段視頻很棒而且感覺爸爸是個很棒棒的爸爸。謝謝你妳

[@kaopeggy6904]

懷念好吃巧克力和美食。唯一不足是吃的都太貴。

[@SLucas-qs6fj]

Kao Peggy 其實是臺灣食物太便宜

[@KristijanKL]

OK let do this one more time. French fries do not stand for fries from France but from french style of cutting the vegetables. Any vegetable can be frenched.

[@zeroSuperal]

Then why is it called "French fries", mind the capital letter, and not "frenched fries"?

[@htainlindwa7603]

That look good, I want it hehe

[@junchen5285]

很棒的介紹 加上啤酒真的是很享受 ＾＾

[@user-lz9qg1ig4g]

謝謝分享!!

[@jamesc571]

I like your new camera person, she is professional :)

[@1688betty]

Chocolate and beer are my favorite food

[@agungnarmada2193]

Want to try those meter beer 🍻

[@dcshrn]

Yum, great job Naick, impressive! Frites, I am drooling. Are you staying with your parents now that you out of quarantine? Also, my stupid question for the day. Do brussel sprouts have anything to do with Brussels or is it just a coincidentally named thing...and if so do you have any good recipes for them? :)

[@Nicolas-kd5ni]

Yes Brussels sprout are born in Brussels botanical garden also the belgian endive called chicon in Belgium

[@saeedmohammed8388]

I love the video...the background music was noise
