Hasselt is known for its tasty specialties. For example, what is known in large parts of Flanders as speculoos, we know in Hasselt as speculaas. And yes, that’s more than two letters difference! You can taste that immediately. First crunchy, then soft and then the nostalgic taste of those delicious spices! The Hasselt bakers DePaifve, Cools and Bakkersdochter made it their speciality. Maybe you should try them all? And why not, with a sip of Hasselt coffee? This is a strong drink made of coffee extract and Hasselt genever. A combination not to be sneezed at. Also delicious as a nightcap.
