EVENT CLOSED: Belgian Breakfast Bliss Week at SAME SAME Hangout
By The Spot
When one thinks of Belgium, grand medieval towns, iconic comic strips, and enchanting European charm come to mind. But ask any food lover, and they’d speak of waffles, chocolates, and a plethora of heartwarming breakfast dishes. Inspired by this rich culinary tapestry, SAME SAME Hangout decided to bring a slice of Belgium to Lombok through our “Belgian Breakfast Bliss Week.”
A Culinary Expedition to the Heart of Belgium While the sandy shores and tropical aura of Lombok are miles away from the cobblestone streets of Brussels or Bruges, our culinary journey aimed to bridge that distance. Throughout the week, our menu highlighted the breakfast favorites that have made Belgium a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts worldwide.
Liege Waffles: A Sweet Beginning The star of the week undoubtedly was our Liege waffle. Unlike any regular waffle, the Liege variant is rich, dense, chewy, and delightfully sweet. Freshly baked to a golden hue, these waffles were generously drizzled with organic maple syrup. Each bite transported our patrons to a quaint Belgian café, serenaded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the distant chime of cathedral bells.
Belgian Bacon & Hot Cocoa: The Perfect Pair To complement the sweetness of the waffles, we introduced crispy Belgian bacon – perfectly cooked strips that added a savory twist to the meal. And what’s a Belgian feast without some chocolate goodness? Our guests indulged in rich hot cocoa, a blend of Belgian dark chocolate melted to perfection and frothy milk, making for a heartwarming drink.
Bringing Belgium to Kuta, Lombok Throughout the “Belgian Breakfast Bliss Week,” the energy at SAME SAME Hangout was electric. Tourists and locals, adults and kids, everyone reveled in this unique experience. It wasn’t just about relishing the dishes but also about understanding the stories and traditions behind them.
For those who missed out on this delightful week or wish to relive those moments, worry not! SAME SAME Hangout is committed to bringing many such culinary adventures to you. Stay tuned to our website and Instagram for updates on upcoming events and promotions.
Until then, Bon Appétit, or as the Belgians say, “Smakelijk!”
IN THE PAST: “Lombok-Belgium Fusion Fest” at SAME SAME Hangout
Lombok and Belgium may be worlds apart geographically, but at SAME SAME Hangout, they come together in a unique culinary embrace. The “Lombok-Belgium Fusion Fest” was a bold initiative that celebrated the harmonious blend of Lombok’s vibrant flavors with Belgium’s rich culinary heritage.
A Fusion Like No Other The festival was an ode to innovation – a challenge we took upon ourselves to intertwine the essence of Lombok’s tropical spirit with the heartwarming comfort of Belgian cuisine. It was a week-long festivity that turned into a feast for the senses.
Dishes that Danced with Diversity Our chefs, armed with spices from the hills of Lombok and recipes from the cobblestone streets of Brussels, created a menu that was as daring as it was delicious.
Highlight: The ‘Nasi Goreng meets Stoofvlees’ – a dish where the quintessential Indonesian fried rice was topped with tender Belgian beef stew, simmered to perfection with a hint of local sambal for that extra kick.
Dessert Delight: The ‘Pisang Waffle’ – a delightful twist on the classic Belgian waffle, topped with caramelized Lombok bananas, a sprinkle of palm sugar, and a scoop of artisanal coconut ice cream.
A Celebratory Atmosphere With traditional Lombok music blending with tunes from Brussels, the ambiance was electric. The vibrant décor, featuring motifs from both cultures, set the stage for an immersive experience.
More Than Just a Festival “Lombok-Belgium Fusion Fest” wasn’t just about food; it was a testament to the beauty of cultural fusion. It was about pushing boundaries and celebrating the unlikely yet wonderful union of different worlds.
While the Fusion Fest has concluded, the spirit of exploration continues at SAME SAME Hangout. Our regular menu features hints of this fusion, and we’re always experimenting with new combinations.
