Still a lot! Hahaha… I think I’ll just let the photo do the talking…



I tasted so many types of cheese and yoghurt here! My favourite section. Was so full after tasting so many. By the way, there’s no sampling for Mini Melts though.

Here comes the dogs!



So many of them. A hall full of them.


Left: Some stage show.
Right: Farm walk where you see many types of farm animals.




First time saw these animals up-close and personal.


There’s corner for children and a corner for food.

More to come…

Continue…


The crowd!!


There’s many winery there, I tried so many type of wines until my friends had to tell me to stop drinking or else they’ll have problem getting me out of there! Hehehe… I got no idea how much I drank but combine all of them I think it’s more than a glass. Luckily no allergy reaction. Ok… Hmmm… I used to get all the itch back home from all these alcohol but here… I haven’t develop any. Don’t know it’s good or bad news. One thing for sure, me no fan of any type of alcohol.


There’s also the Cellar Door Experience but I didn’t join, other friends joined but the other friend and I decided not to join. Once I heard that we had to sit there for quite a bit of time, don’t remember how long, 45 minutes? 1 hour? I rather go out there and explore the other section of the The Show than sitting in one place. Besides, I’m not interested in it.


Left: Tried some olive.

Right: My very first time having lamington, sooooo sweeet. Took a photo with the mascot. My hand was holding the empty plastic cup for wine tasting ;p See… The weather was so warm that day that I was going around sleeveless!


Lots of food to sample. Sampled till full! 😉


Left: Machineries at The Show.

Bight: Bees found there too with its hive.


Animals could be found also. Rabbits!! Some were HUGE!


Fish.


Birds and cats.

More animal will come soon from domestic to farm animal.

The Royal Adelaide Show 2011 – Part 4

Finally got time to compose this post! Well… I went to the Royal Adelaide Show on the second day. It’s a Saturday, the crowd was huge!


Left: The entrance. It was at Showground where I had my exam last study period. Coming here felt as if like I’m going for exam hahaha…

Right: The Yellow Brick Road is where you could buy a bag with the map in there and later go to the booths with the signage to claim freebies! It’s only $10, pretty worth it, the things you’d get cost more than that but I didn’t buy it. A bit regret not buying it ;p

The Royal Adelaide Show also known as the Royal Show or simply The Show, is an annual agricultural show/fair held in Adelaide, South Australia that begins on the first Friday in September, or the last Friday in August, and runs for 9 days. It is held at the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds, located in Wayville and is attended by thousands. It features food, rides, a Ferris wheel, competitions and animal races.

The Royal Show is primarily an opportunity for the State’s farmers to show examples of their livestock. There is Horticulture on display with the freshest fruit and vegetables. It also includes rides, competitions, demonstrations and food of all tastes (i.e. gourmet food as well as waffles, hot dogs, hot chips, sausage on a stick, cinnamon donuts, sausages, sausage rolls, pies, pasties etc.) and styles.


It’s a big event here.


I’ll just let the photos do the talking…


So much to see!


Was there for about 10 hours! Walking and standing most of the time. Poor feet… Suffered a lot. So painful.


It’s a very interesting event, highly recommended to go. Even though people kept saying that every year it’s the same, still they go every year because Adelaide is just like Kuching hahaha… Not much big events going on, once there is, everyone will be flocking there.

Didn’t go on any ride though, quite expensive.


Had our lunch, Dagwood Dogs aka corn dog. There’s foot long one but I went for the 6-inch one which cost $5. So filling! Really cannot underestimate it. I thought I won’t be full eating it. Taste? It was okay. What do you expect? Basically, it’s just a sausage in a stick fried in batter.


Left: My friend bought this fries, don’t remember the name. I think it’s called Potato “something”. Very expensive! $9!! It tasted good but very oily.

Right: *Blek* It’s me. The weather was so good that day. The sun was so strong. Not cold at all but it turned quite cold at night.

The Royal Adelaide Show 2011 (Showbag) – Part 3

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on The Royal Adelaide Show 2011 (Showbag) – Part 3

Just a quick one today, busy with exam preparations.

The event is ending tomorrow yet I haven’t post about the whole thing ;p hehehe… Will do so after exam.

This is my birthday present for myself this year, AUD18 Cleo Showbag which consists of goodies worth AUD159:

1 CLEO Tote Bag
1 CLEO (Current Issue)
1 Shop til you Drop (Current Issue)
1 NW (Current Issue)
1 Roxy 7 Way Dress (Choice of Colours)
1 Designer Brands Eye Pencil
1 Schwarzkopf Hair Treatment
1 Cocobella Pure Coconut Water
1 Colour Catcher
1 Mariah Carey Forever Vial
1 Bio Oil
1 Herbal Essences Hello Hydration
1 Gaia Skin Naturals Foaming Cleanser
1 Gaia Skin Naturals Facial Moisteriser
1 White Glo Whitening Toothpaste
1 Designer Brands $10 Off Voucher
1 Ice Design Voucher
1 Oporto’s BOGOF Voucher
1 AMF Bowling Voucher
1 Procomfort Carefree Tampons

I would say the Roxy 7 Way dress is the gem in there as it costs AUD40+ in the market! I got the black one.

I should have check the official website instead of the mobile site because I found out that if I showed the page to them, I’d get a FREE eyelash curler!! Then again, it was never in my plan to buy it, even if I did check the official site, I won’t be printing the page out too. My original plan was to buy a show bag below AUD10 just for the sake of it but ended up buying this. Anyway, I’m quite satisfied with it. I have a new casual bag to use at least and also a new dress but the tampons… Hehehe… I collected so many but didn’t dare to use any until now.

Enjoy the weekend everyone! Mooncake Festival is around the corner.
