It is already summer but if you are in the Benelux area, you are probably one of the people who would complain about summer. Simply because there is no summer in this side of town. I may be an exception cause I'm enjoying summer as it is: cold, cloudy, and rainy. People find me really weird. I guess, one of the things I learned when I moved to Brussels is how to appreciate simple things in life. I appreciate the cold as I never had it all my life unless of course I take a plane to another country or drive 10 hours to reach the mountain top.
One of the things that I also appreciate is when I get to see local food that I'm familiar of. Don't get me wrong, I love Belgian food. Their fries, pasta, mussels, steak are really delicious but it is still different to eat a home-cooked meal the one that you grew up familiar with. So when I was in Delhaize for my grocery, I was so giddy to find they have frozen tilapia. I was too excited, I bought 2 kilos of it! I practically ran out of ideas to cook my tilapia considering that I'm eating alone.
So, the other day, I had some friends over and I thought why not try to make some fish cakes out of it. It turned out to be really good! I received a two thumbs up from my friends and I promised Pia, I will share this recipe.
