The Hahndorf Inn

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on The Hahndorf Inn

The main place we wanted to go in Hahndorf was The Hahndorf Inn.

On the way there… (ignore the wrong label of the photo ;p)


Almost there… We’re there! It was already 3pm and most of us didn’t eat any lunch including me hahaha… Only had a cup of oat as my very late breakfast at almost 12pm.


Did not order A Taste of Germany Platter (AUD59.90) which people would usually order. Instead we went for other dishes which were quite enough for 7 of us. You only see two here, we ordered another plate of sausages but I forgot to take photo of it. It looked similar to the one on the right.

Left: Stuttgart Platter (Serves 2) $66.00 includes 400gm rump steak, 500gm pork ribs, 6 crispy chicken wings, served with Rhine potato, sauerkraut and homemade bbq sauce. In fact, it can feed more than 4 people hahaha… Don’t be fooled by the “Serves 2”. Portion is huge here if you are ordering anything that stated “Serves 2” in the menu.

Right: Trio of Wursts $29.90 includes Bockwurst, Bratwurst and Weisswurst with traditional German potato salad, sauerkraut, and a fresh German pretzel.

We also ordred another dish called the Duo of Kranskys $23.90. There’s cheese Kransky and Plain Kransky, served with Rhine potato, sauerkraut and a fresh German pretzel.

All were absolutely divine! The chicken wings, rump steak, and pork ribs were soooo goood!


Left: Trio of Wursts and I.
Right: It’s already so late yet the the lunch crowd was still there. This place is always packed with people at any time of the day. You will have to wait or reserve in advance.

My Watch Story

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on My Watch Story

I used to wear a watch since primary school to college. I’ve no idea how many watches I had. What I remember is that each of them lasted for years before I changed a new one. I no longer wear one after college because I did not bother to get my watch’s battery changed after it died. That time I had a mobile phone already so I didn’t think of getting a new watch. My mobile phone was my watch.

I only started wearing one again in 2010 because my sister bought a Fossil watch for me, not one of those Invicta Watches though. Maybe someone can buy me this watch. I’ve been wearing it daily since then. Without it, I felt like something missing especially when I’m out and about. Sometimes if I forgot to wear it when I’m out, I would be very worry because I thought I might have lost it or dropped it somewhere. How stupid can that be? That’s how important my watch is to me.

The phone can’t replace the watch because phone is too bulky and a bit inconvenient because you need to turn it on to check the time or take it out from your pocket or bag for it. Also, not everytime you are allowed to have your phone with you such as during exam. A watch would be a very convenient way to know the time. It’s just there on your wrist.

What about you? Do you wear a watch or your mobile phone is now also your watch?

Cheese & Apples

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Cheese & Apples

After Melba’s Chocolate Factory, we went to the other shop for cheese tasting.

I didn’t get to taste any cheese, there’s only one person handling both the sales and tasting.


We just looked around and left.

Then, we headed back to the road leading to Hahndorf.


We stopped by The Olde Apple Shed at Onkaparinga Valley Road, Balhannah to check out the apple pie but to our disappointment, it’s not piping hot apple pie, not what we wanted. There’s a variety of apples for purchase too.

After checking it out, we left empty handed. Time to head over to our destination to meet the other group.

Melba’s Chocolate Factory

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Melba’s Chocolate Factory

Last Saturday, I decided to message my friend asking what his gang would be doing. He told me they’ll be going to Hahndorf. I’ve been thinking of going there since April but don’t know who to ask to go with me. I really like the scenery there especially during autumn. So I thicken my face and asked whether they can pick me up or not ;p Finally I got to go! YAY!


We started our journey at 1.30pm. Before going to Hahndorf, we decided to do a bit of detour to visit Melba’s Chocolate Factory at Woodside since another group was still at the airport.


It took us quite awhile to locate the place, the signboard led us to somewhere with gravel road and we decided to turn back and drove straight. We stopped at a local bar to asked and they told us we should drive for about 15 minutes to reach there. We’re on the right way. Finally we’re here.


Lots of chocolates and candies. Sampled some of the confectionaries. Quite nice but we dodn’t buy any.

Right: Espresso from Malaysia! Can you believe it?

After this chocolate factory, we went over to next door for cheese tasting. Will post about it soon.
