Adelaide, Australia Day 5

Day 5

We woke up even earlier than Day 4.
Not because of any things JUST becuase we are all alcoholics!

We decided to go winery.
I think in the whole Australia, wine from Adelaide is the best.
Along the Adelaide Hills there are lots of winery some of them are quite famous in Adelaide.
Thus, we picked up some famous winery and yeah we ready to off!

First, we must find our BREAKFAST.
We reached the North Main Road and decided to have our breakfast here.
Along North Main Road there is a Indian Restaurant *what I heard from Jarell was that this restaurant is the most famous indian restaurant in Adelaide!

Unfortunately, we went there too early and the restaurant hasnt prepared yet.
Thus, we dropped a local mini food store and have a fish&chips first to full fill the demand for Brunch!

 

SEE!!!! what our boss , Mr. Mao has to say!

"This picture is so damn funny!!!!!!!!!LOL"

So we waited for the restaurant to open.....such a long way to go...
Tar Tar 11.30 here we go for our Indian LUNCHY..

At first, this restaurant didnt really attract me.

The store was small and only 4 tables dont really trust it is the famous indian cuisine in Adelaide.

FOODS FOODS FOODS!!!

We called the num, butter chicken, prawn curry and a rice.

HMMMMMM.....so damn delicious!

 

 

After lunch, we set off to winery...

Along the way it was field and field...still field...

Nice shoot ! like a car advertisement!

Finally, we reached !

When you travel to their suburb you will feel that you came to a Cowboy Town.

 

Finally, we one of the winery CHATEAU TANUNDA.
Chateau Tanunda is one of the oldest and largest Chateau in Australia.

A chateau is a large French country house or castle often giving its name to wine made in its neighborhood.

In every winery, they will provide you a tasting list so you can try some of their products.

I prefer to have something sweet rather than dry but somehow those winner wines are those dry one.

 

 

The next stops, Penfolds!

Heard from Jarell that Penfolds is one of the branded wine in Adelaide.

This was the main hall of Penfolds.

This was the alley of Penfolds.

What a peaceful.

 

 

Basically, in most of the winery there will have "Wine of the month" or those seasoning wine.

Some there will have their special or exclusive.

Since I have been trying dry wine from the previous one so I decided to have some sweet coming on.

PORT WINE.

Port wine is a Portuguese fortified wine. It is typically sweeter and always serve as a dessert wine.

The price is slightly higher, if I am not wrong it is 40 aussie per bottle.

Remember to have a test on several wine then only decide which suit you more.

In Penfold, they got the "Tawny" *love it so much.

It was concentrated and the taste suit me quite well. However, I didn't buy any because I thought I will back here when my parents came...but unfortunately no T.T

 

NEXT

We drove for another 15 mins we came to another winery "JACOBS GREEK"

I think this was the largest I have been to .

Visit their website : http://www.jacobscreek.com/verification

 

Visit them:

Barossa Valley Way, Rowland Flat , 5352, South Australia, Australia

 Contact: 08 8521 3000

Their spacious parking lot.

Partly of their winery.

 

It's like a small supermarket.

I love the building and the facilities they provide.

Inside this building there was a small museum of their wine, restaurant and a spacious pasture.

Here we go for the interior!!

Let's go

Spacious!!! owwww... simple design.

By the way I just want to remind that if your features look young *like me :))) then you have to bring your Passport to prove that you are not underage.

In Australia they do check very carefully.

Just a remind.

 

So I asked for the same drink.."Tawny"!!

The price here was cheaper but the density is slightly lesser compare to Penfold.

In Jacobs there was another type called "Muscat"

However Muscat is slightly denser than Tawny.

 

When my parents came we did come to Jacobs again and I tried another flavor.

This flavor was not as sweet as Tawny and Muscat but it is more like a sparkling wine to me.

It's name "Gramp's"

I love it's colour also... YELLOW!!

Here it is..

 

Here comes the fourth winery we were going to "Seppeltsfield"

At the beginning, this winery wasn't in our list yet but I wanna buy Tawny so badly and this recommended by Mr. Mao .

Thus, we decided to end our winery trip with this "Seppeltsfield"

Look Britain right!!

Here we go for our last tasting !

The interior of the Seppeltsfield.

It look more like an ancient winery like those Britain Style.

Here provide lots of varieties for Tawny.

They have the Classic Tawny, 90's Tawny and Etc.

However, the price here was more expansive then Penfolds.

Instead of Tawny I got one Vintage Rose.

Vintage Rose

That's all for my winery trip till my parents were here.

The middle one was the Muscat.

What we bought for the day!! *mostly from Mr. Jarell and Mr.Mao

 

That's all for the day !

With Winesssss

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adelaide, Australia Day 3

Day 3

Again we woke up in the noon.

For me, there was no day and night in Australia. Maybe this was because of the jet lag issue and my course hasn't started yet so I felt super free no schedule pack.
Moreover, the weather was so cooling that made you feel so sleepy.
Anyway it's my..
BRUNCH TIME!

Under Calvin's accommodation there was a Asian Restaurant called "Mamak Corner". I was so obsessed with their nasi lemak with curry chicken. However, my friend, mao hates it so much that he would rather eat shit than this.LOL. He said their sambah chilli isnt that nice. Yeah maybe because I didnt take their sambah.
Their Nasi Lemak with curry chicken was not cheap it's around 9.80 aussie neither you convert or not it is still expansive.

So, this is their Nasi Lemak with curry chicken.

One bowl of nasi lemak, four pieces of curry chicken, two potatoes and half an egg.

Obsessed!

Actually, in Adelaide I used to eat Asian cuisine instead of western.

After the brunch, my friend, Mr. Jarell came and picked us with the car that he rent.

He rent the car around 400++ aussie for four days excluded the petrol fees.

Renting a car, here is some comments from me.

1. If you decided to tour around the city than I will suggest you to take the public transports instead of renting a car because it is hard to find carpark and the fine is super high here.

2.If you travel by your own or less than 4 persons or more than 4 than you can join their daily tour.(when my parents were here we did join their daily tour because there was 7 of us) The pros for joining the daily tour is that the tour guide will tell u their history and landmark and you dont have to worry about the parking, petrol and fine.

You guys can visit the company's website : www.greatsights.com.au

or call 1300 850 850

This company provides lots of packages. Me and my family went to the Barossa&Hahndorf and Victor Habour.

In Adelaide, there is bus, cab and tram as the public transport.

You guys can view public transport routine :

https://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/

At the beginning, I wasnt sure what my friends were talking abouy. They were saying tram tram tram because in Malaysia there is no tram only train.

The different between this TRAM and TRAIN is that TRAM using electricity and TRAIN is still same in Malaysia. In those city stations the tram was free and other stations you will need to pay.

There are two sides of the tram; one go and the other return. 

Must remember which side you use for return. 

However, Jarell and Mao decided to rent a car because we were going to the suburb.

If you thinking of renting a car you can visit this websites :

https://www.hertz.com.au/rentacar/reservation/

Before we depart to suburb, we went to fetch our boss, Mao, because he still having his lectures.

While we were waiting for him, Jarell brought us to this park just opposite University of Adelaide.

This is the bridge that link the city and Suburb.

The birds were having a date.

So Sweeeeeeeeeeet right...

Finally, Mr. Mao in da house yo and we decided to have our lunch and get some groceries before we set off.

We went to "Hao Hao restaurant" in China Town.

I didn't eat much because I just have my brunch done so I ordered a French toast.

Next, we went to buy some groceries

Usually, they will have their groceries done at the China Town.

The price is cheaper and more varieties.

If you wanna reach China Town by tram you can take till Victory Square.

We went to the trade market which Jarell told me it is the oldest market in Adelaide. In the past, people used to trade in this market when they first migrate to Australia.

You can found daily products like meat, vegetables, cheese and sour in this market.

The meat store!

The meat there was cheap even though you convert.

We bought 1 KG of chicken wing only 5 aussie.

You can find marinated meat, ribs, pork and beef in this meat store.

Spotted some foods!

If you cant find the things you want you can go to the nearby supermarket also.

Choosing a watermelon.

We put all our stuffs back to Jarell's place then we off to Burnside village.

Burnside village is a Shopping mall with many branded stuffs like Zara and so on.

From city to Burnside Village take about 10 mins, along the way there is lots of retro buildings and houses. Pretty nice!

Spring is here.

This is Burnside Village!

Honestly speaking, it is quite small but it is a high class shopping mall as you can called.

Can you see how dry was my hair??!!
I think it was cause by the weather and their water quality.
Thus, make sure you use conditioner while you are in Australia.

 Strolled about two hours we decided to have our dinner back in the city.

Here we go!

"Bah Guo Bu Yi"

Tel : (08) 8212 0000

98 – 100 Gouger Street
Adelaide 5000

Spicy Crispy Fish in Black Bean Sauce

One of their famous dishes.

It is actually Chilli oil cook with dry chilli added with fish and bean sprouts.

When you eat this you have to be very careful make sure that the source doesnt touch your lip.

If not you will burn your lip.

Golden Fried Sweet Corn

 This is nice too. We added this dishes into our rice, it is sweet and salted.

That's all for today.
