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 :

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 :

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.

Adelaide, Australia Day 2

Day 2
A cold day .
This was my second day in Adelaide everything was fine but the temperature was pretty low.

My dad said Adelaide has 4 seasons in a day. TRUE!
You will have Spring in the morning then noon with Summer, next is autumn in the evening and winter in the night.
During the winter, it does not snow the lowest I heard from my friend was 0 degree Celcius.
During Summer time, it can be pretty hot the temperature will rise to around 41 degree Celcius.

We woke up in the noon and took a walk to the Rundle Mall ( A shopping zone)
Visit their website : http://www.rundlemall.com/ so you can know more about Rundle mall and it's location.
The temperature was nice but the wind was strong!
We decided to choose some of the souvenirs at Rundle mall.
I didn't see much of the foreign brands like Mango, Topshops or even Forever 21 but then they were lots of local brands such as Factorie, Forever New and so on.

From Mao's place to Rundle mall only needs 8 mins the most I think.

This was the street that we lived on.
It's called Hindley Street which is also a redline zone.
Actually, I like this street because it is very convenient it has McDonald and KFC along the street, 24 hours groceries so you don't have to worried about your meals.

The night sight of Hindley Street.

 

On Friday and Saturday, they will be a lot of parties going on and off.

You can see lots of drunkers lying on the street or ladies shouting along the street.

I not sure whether this rule goes in other states of Australia but in Adelaide if the polis see a drunker alone without any friends they will call an ambulance and send the drunkies to the hospital.

 

The fine will be 800 aussie.

 

SO, make sure you go clubbing with a bunch of GOOD friends or remain sober.

 

After 8 mins, we reached the Ruddle mall.

Can you see the retro building?

That's my landmark for Rundle Mall hahahha.. but actually it is three pigs and a two layers Sliver ball just in the middle of the street.

 

 

There are some shops that I would like to go for an intro.

 

First, if you like to buy something cheaper and special then you can go to Kmart.

Can you see the sign board a big red K beside Inglot in my last photo?

That's the one! 

I bought two pillows for only 5 aussie but the quality is just so so only.

It sells daily products, chocolate, clothes and even cosmetics.

 

 

The next I'm going to introduce is Suppre.

You can find very cheap clothing in it like 5 aussie per shorts.

Besides this, there is another clothing shop "Factorie" the price is slightly higher but the design is nice!

 

I bought their nail polish which I think Malaysia sell more expansive.

 

After few hours of shopping we stopped by a café and have our lunch.

The café located slightly at the end of the Rundle Mall.

Sorry for the angle ..but you can find it just opposite 'yes optus' one of the mobile company.

Between you guys can buy a prepaid card in 'yes' optus. It's easy to register, you just need to bring yr passport and choose which type of package you want. That's all.

'yes' optus is easy to find and their service also quite okay.

There is one 'yes' optus in China town and one in Rundle mall..and so on.

 

Okay back to my lunch, at the beginning we chose this café because it has the wifi service LOL.

It's called "Bruccone"

It's like a Starsbucks which sell cheesecake, coffees and soft drinks.

I chose their Carrot Walnut cake , so delicious!

I was attracted by the sugar on the top of the cake!

 

 CRY because I missed home already LOL..

 

So we done with shooping, lunch and decided to visit Calvin accommodation.

In Adelaide time really past fast maybe because we were still in jet lag mood ??!

  Sleep-ing

During night time, Mr. Calvin brought me to eat Pancake!

This was a special one for me because it opens 24 hours EVERYDAY!

Isnt it cool?

It's located just along Hindley Street called "Pancake Kitchen"

 

I love this place because it is warm when outside is cool and it is cool when outside is hot!

In every part of Australia most of the shops will closed after 5pm so there is not much restaurants and cafes left so I would like to come here at night.

 

The Mr. camera boom (Calvin)

This is mine "Farmer breakfast"

two pieces of pancake, two harsh brown and two eggs.

This belong to Mao.

That night special.

 

After the supper we went to City West campus of UniSA.

City West is nearer to Hindley Street than my future Campus.

Most of the students who live in Hindley Street will study at City West Campus.

This is the conventions centre.

This is the City West campus.

Everyone was studying including us.

 

That's night was freezing. I think about 10-13 degree Celcius.

So we spent about 3 hours in the library and around 2 am  we went back to Calvin accommodation.

While we on our way back, we decided to drop by a 24 hours grocery shops and bought some instant noodles.

 

Love their grocery shops because it was so warm and outside was freezing.

This is one of the biggest 24  hours grocery shops I seen in Adelaide. It just located opposite Adelaide Casino.

LOL this is a funny picture right?

see Mr. Camera boom's face..that's so called an "exam face" hahahahha

 

Okay, just for laugh before bed.

Night guys!

That's all for the day.
