English Garden @ Munich, Germany

I would recommend for those coming to Munich to visit this English Garden. I visited this garden during summer time in 2013. The name is rather confusing for a garden which is located in Germany rather than in England. The landscape gardening of the garden is said to follow England style. The English Garten is really huge and you will appreciate walking between a little lake full of lovely ducks and a river where swans are elegantly swimming. Do make sure that you see the river surfers which is located at the south of the garden. The lovely garden is so much more than a garden. There is a lake, beer garden and small river in addition to the miles of walking/running paths. It is a wonderful place to spend some time enjoying the sites or just doing nothing but watching the people walk by. Make sure that you wear comfortable shoe as this garden is even larger than the New York Central Park!


Come, lets explore the garden.

You will enjoy watching all the action by city river surfers.

The wave created is strong.

Its river. Not sea.

Nice view and enjoyable.

There is also love locks in English Garden.

Duck and swan in the lake.

Besides English garden, it have Chinese Tower which shape like pagoda.

I am trying to eat in the hot sun. The beer garden is quite huge.

Queuing for food. Aiming for another pork knuckles.

What a delightful meal. I give my rating on this meal in another entry.

Ritter Sport & Milka chocolate from Germany

This is among my most favourite chocolate. In Malaysia, the price of these chocolate are really expensive. You can't get the alcoholic flavour as well. In Germany, it only selling at EUR1.00 which is about MYR4.20 for Ritter Sport 100g. But in Malaysia, it is selling at MYR9.90 at most places.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The chocolate is great and not overly sweet. I like the raisin rum and praline the most).


Many flavours on display here: Clockwise from top left, raisin rum, praline, chocolate mousse, marzipan, hazelnut Milka & Ritter Sport whole hazelnut.
