Blind Finches (RM17.90)

This is a type of Belgian comfort food of ground pork wrapped with streaky bacon and braised in Leffe Blonde onion sauce. The beer base onion sauce not only offset the meatiness of the dish, also added a distinctive fragrant to it.

Pork Schnitzel (RM35.90)

I’ve cooked pork chop before and I know it really need skills to cook it perfectly, Brussel’s version did not disappointed. A thick slab of pork steak lightly coated with bread crumbs and meticulously pan fried to perfection. With a layer of fat on the edges, the pork retained its tenderness and juiciness, the side of Belgian frites and fresh cherry tomatoes make it a fairly wholesome meal. There is homemade mushroom sauce for those who need extra flavors for his/her meat.
