eating in rüdesheim

ok.today i felt like a tourist. it was a beautiful day as the sun was out...but of course it was still cold. ok..i am not going to repeat that it is cold..it will be cold till january anyway.

anyway, we started our drive to rudesheim after walking max at the hill at about 1.30p.m.
the drive took more than an hour and it was really a picturesque drive. we drove along the rhine river and pass by small towns along the way...all facing the wide rhine river on both sides. this part of rhine is known as the wine valley as well, so vineyards are unmissable here.

now i only post photos from my handphone...the next post will be all from the camera. i dun wanna mix them up.

this is my first purchase in germany...yup, up till now i haven't spent a cent..well aunt paid for all food and stuff. this snow ball(s) is €15, it is quite big. i buy it because it is cheap...haha..i dunno where i am going to put it...so mom better clear a space soon in the house for this snow ball. this shop we went into, sell all sorts of musical boxes and snow balls. it was so interesting to browse through and wind up every music box there just to hear the music. oh, my snow ball also has music. it is walking in the winter wonderland.

our dinner in a cosy german restaurant. aunt ordered fresh mussels cooked in redwine with tomatosauce. u decide whether it is cheap or not...1 kg for €9.50. a lot ah i tell you...now aunt can tell ppl that she finished 1kg of mussels by herself.

this is mine...scheinehexa or pork shank...traditional german dish...with mash potato and sour cabbage. the potato sucks...like eating glue. cabbage was all right. the pork? er..so so lah...€9.50. i could not finish it. only ate half...the other half, takeaway for the dog. fu man restaurant's friend pork shank is tastier ah. haha....

oh, the town rudesheim is famous for asbach, a wine produced in rudesheim itself. go to http://www.asbach.de/ i ordered this special coffee...rudesheimer hot coffee. €7.50 a cup. very expensive hor.

how to make a cup of rudesheimer coffee...ok i was a bit slow at pressing record..and i missed the first step.

u add 3 cubes of sugar, then pour 4cl of hot asbach and lit it up. then stir. u start with the lighting fire part in the video. then pour coffee and lastly top-up with cream and grated choc. yummy. coffee taste is till there and asbach too...really warm on a cold day.
