Epcot: Food and Wine Festival - Belgium & South Korea

This year two new countries were added to the Food and Wine Festival Marketplace booths: Belgium and South Korea.

In Belgium, we tried the Freshly Baked Waffles with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream and the Godiva Chocolate Ice Coffee. Both were delicious.

The waffle was cooked flawlessly and the berry compote was sweetened perfectly. Plus, priced at $2.75 you could not beat it.

The Godiva Chocolate Ice Coffee is made with Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. It was the perfect early afternoon perk me up drink.

Below is the full menu from the Belgium booth:
Steamed Mussels with Roasted Garlic Cream
Freshly Baked Waffles with Berry Compote and Whipped Cream
Stella Artois
Godiva Chocolate Ice Coffee
Leffe
Hoegaarden



In South Korea, the Lettuce Wraps with Roast Pork and Kimchi Slaw were fantastic and ordered multiple times by members in our group. The wraps were only $2.75 and full of flavor.


While the Barbecue Short Rib with Steamed Rice and Cucumber Kimchi was good. The overall census was that the Lettuce Wraps were much better.


The Bohae Bokbunjajoo (Black Raspberry Rice Wine) is a moderately sweet wine. I really enjoy fruit wines and this one was added to my list to try again.
