Frankfurt Day 3 - Last Day in Frankfurt

 Here's a bar right next to our station: Ostbahnhof.   Here's where the we had our nice tasting hot stone lunch near the castle like place.  I came to realised that I didn't had any food photo.. Must be because it's too nice and needs my attention so forgot all about taking photo of it.. It's something like our pepper lunch concept where the food we ordered comes in a hot stone plate where we get to cook right away with the 2 sauces that we picked. I like the butter sauce as it tasted great with the beef steak I ordered. Also because we cooked it ourselves, we can cook to the level that we'd like.. Only thing is that because the steak is quite big so it took very some time to finish cutting up the entire steak into small pieces so that it's well done but not too tough haha.. Well I can't eat raw food as my stomach is too weak..  This is another nice tasting ice cream which I ate along the way. Woolworth sounds simi

Frankfurt Day 2 - Supermarket Day

 This is the machine where you can get the EUR $1 nice tasting coffee at the BB Hotel. I think it's a great idea to have the snacks and coffee machine within the hotel itself, especially for tourist like us that might forgot to eat our dinner during summer period, it'd come in handy.  And we walked to the nearby hypermart - Edeka for shopping. In fact, we spent like half a day there, looking at what's available in their super market.. LOL!  Here's our train tickets for 2 days. The cheaper EUR $9.50 for up to 5 pax 1 day unlimited ride (excluding airport) and the EUR $15 for up to 5 pax 1 day unlimited ride including airport.  Here's the unique concept shopping mall where you can literally walk down the entire shopping mall without using the escalator / lift. So it's a slopped level concept. Where we can just take the lift up to the top floor then start walking down each of the level until we reached the first level.  I think this t

Frankfurt Day 1 - Around the Shopping Street

 Here's the various places at Frankfurt where we get to walk around at. This is where we alight at the Alte Oper station and walk along the streets to go to where the shopping places are.  Well as a Ice Cream Lover, I just had to try the Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream at Germany itself where it's made.. Somehow, it tasted a bit better and is of course much cheaper than eating it in Singapore.  Although days are very long, somehow we still trees as bald as this one in many places especially along the shopping street.  Here's the 2 most common pharmacies, kind of similar to our Guardian and Watson's.  Of course when it comes to oral hygiene products such as tooth paste and tooth brush, it's somehow way cheaper in Germany (than in Paris and definitely Singapore). So as usual, I bought some toothpaste home haha.. No toothbrush needed as we bought too much during our last trip. Here's Rituals, my favourite store where i

Frankfurt Day 1 - Brunch at Hermann's (Frankfurt Airport)

After eating lots of bread in Paris, we finally started eating normal food again once we get to Frankfurt. Not sure if it's really very nice or is it because I felt deprived of food after eating many days of mainly bread. So once we alright our flight and we decided to take a bite and eat our brunch @ Hermann's.  The food may be simple, sausage and potato but it tasted pretty good.  After tasting bread from Paris, we just can't bring ourselves to eat this one.  After our brunch, we went ahead to drop our bags at our hotel. Which is located at a quiet area in Frankfurt yet easy to reach as it's just a short walk to the subway station. this is the photo of the Zoo station which we keep wanting to alight, sometimes alighting by mistake haha.. Here's the inside of the BB Hotel which we stayed at.. It's pretty small but clean and feels like new. I quite like the concept as we are given a pin to the room which will be reset after it
