Food and Wine festival at Norwood

On the way back to Bradford Lodge from church, Sister Irene and Brother David told us that there was a food and wine festival going on at Norwood. So at around 3:30pm, together with Gillian, Ken, Clarence and Iona, I went to Norwood. It was approximately 20 minutes walk from Bradford Lodge. When we reached there, I was surprised by the place. Along the street, there were a lot of food and wine stalls. There were some stages where bands performed. There was also a clown performing in the middle of the street. It was really crowded with a lot of Aussies sipping from their wine glass or their beer mug while chatting with friends or family members. I have also noticed that Aussies in Adelaide loved Asian food. I saw quite a number of Thai stalls and one sushi stalls. The food there was not cheap and it actually cost more. We weren't very impressed with the wine and food. Therefore we ended up in Coles and Foodland supermarket. Coles in Norwood is much better than the one on Grote street but I still prefer buying in Woolworths if I want to buy meat. After buying some instant noodle in Coles, we headed off to Foodland. As soon as we entered the supermarket, we saw something that brought joy to our stomach. Roasted chicken(whole) for only $4.99=$5.00. Normal price is about $7.89. The price was reduced as the supermarket is going to close. We grabbed one of the chicken. Yay!!!! After that, we went back. The weather was really hot! =P Anyway, it was worth visiting Norwood and the Food and wine festival. Got to see the Aussie culture AND finding out another place to shop for cheap stuffs apart from Central Market!!!! Haha....
