The one after eating, as shown in the post above yours. Before eating, we say "in the name of Allah", and we ask Him to bless the food for us.
After having eaten, we thank Him for having eaten of it and praise Him.
Translations of some of the supplications that can be said after eating:
All praise is for Allah who fed me this and provided it for me without any might nor power from myself.
All praise is for Allah who fed us, gave us water to drink, and made us from amongst the Muslims.
Allah be praised with an abundant, beautiful, blessed praise, a never-ending praise, a praise we will never bid farewell to and an indispensable praise, He is our Lord.
Peace.
