On the Way Home…

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on On the Way Home…

After more than 1 1/2 year in Adelaide, finally I flew home last Monday evening. Arrived Kuching last Tuesday morning. Time for me to go back to Adelaide soon! Next Sunday! That’s just so crazy! Don’t even get to enjoy my holiday to the fullest.


On the plane, heading to Singapore. So glad that it’s not a full flight and I got the whole row for myself and it’s a window seat too! Was supposed to revise my IELTS reading but ended up watching 3 movies!


Dinner on board. I had panfried chicken in basil cream sauce, buttered vegetables, and roasted potatoes. As for dessert, we were served with ice cream.


Refreshment, it was some-kind-of pie. Can’t remember the exact name hahaha…


Arrived Singapore at 11pm and headed straight to Traders Hotel at Orchard Road to spend a night, only spent about 6 hours there as I need to get to the airport the next day before 8am and beat the traffic jam.


It was my very first time staying in such luxurious hotel. Thanks to someone who redeemed this room with his points for me. It’s a deluxe room with king-sized bed but it’s actually two beds combined. So couldn’t sleep in middle with the spacing there.


I stayed at the 11th floor. Nice swimming pool down there!


Bathroom with so many mirrors! Camwhored! Was rather tired.

There was a miscommunication between the staff and me when I check-in. I double-checked with her when she mentioned about breakfast as far as I know it’s not included. She might have thought that I have their VIP card and told me that the breakfast was included. That morning, I just simply went down to grab some bites and headed back to my room to get my stuff to check-out. Lo and behold! I was charged SGD30+ for the breakfast. -.-” Had to pay for it of course. The most expensive breakfast I had in my life! Oh well… It’s all right, treat it as staying there for only SGD30+/night instead of hundreds of dollars. I was also paying it with my Aussie card, at least not that bad.


On the way home! First time on SilkAir. Unfortunately, the flight was rather full. Luckily it’s not a long flight. The breakfast I had was char siew chicken wrap. Taste? Not my kind of tea LOL.

There you go… My journey home. Now, I’m leaving again soon! Too fast!

The Original Pancake Kitchen

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on The Original Pancake Kitchen

I’m back in Kuching but not yet eaten any kolo mee or laksa ;p

Anyway, I have many pending posts from Adelaide. The Original Pancake Kitchen is so near my place but I’ve never been there until more than a year later hehehe… It’s located at 13 Gilbert Place at Hindley Street. It’s opened 24 hours a day.


Went there with my friends for supper. So far I’ve been there 3 times, almost one time a week. However, be warned that it will take a long time for your food to come and service can be bad (at least according to many people) but I’m lucky to have not meet any bad service from them.


Tried these two only even though I’ve been there 3 times.
Left: German Feast (AUD14.50), must be shared with another person unless you’re an extremely huge eater. Delectable German Kranski sausage, two fried eggs, bacon, girlled tomato accompanied with two buttermilk pancakes, whipped butter and maple syrup. I quite like this. Not bad.

Right: Brandied Apricots (AUD12.50 if not mistaken), two buttermilk pancakes topped with brandy soaked Apricots and finished with cream or ice cream . Had this with my German friend on her birthday. Extremely sweet! I don’t have sweet tooth so I’ll just try this once and that’s it. Must eat the apricot with the pancake. If you attempt to eat the apricot alone then it will be a bit hard to eat.

Since the portion is big, you can share and it won’t cost you too much. I’ll definitely go back there simply because it’s cheap and located near my place, and the food isn’t too bad.

Mandoo

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Mandoo

WOW! It’s been awhile since my last update. So much things going on. I’m still not recovered from all the events.

Mandoo is a shop selling Korean dumpling dishes. Mandoo means dumpling in Korean. It’s located at Bank Street. Went there quite a long time ago. The photos were in my phone and only got transferred to my computer yesterday hehehe…

We ordered steamed dumpling (AUD11.99) and fried dumpling (AUD12.99). Don’t remember the meat basically we had pork and chicken.

Left: Dumpling soup (AUD12.99). The soup is fish stock, there’s rice cake, egg, and vegetables.
Right: Pickled cucumber and homemade sauce. The sauce looked spicy but in fact it’s sweet and sour.

Overall, price wise is pretty steep and I personally don’t like how it’s priced with the 0.99 at the end of it, I don’t mind it in supermarket but in eatery? I just don’t see the point! It just serve no purpose at all when everything in the menu is priced with 0.99 at the end of the price. Taste wise, it’s just so-so.

Going back? No, unless it’s people’s treat.

Gold Coast 24/7/2012 – Part 3

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Gold Coast 24/7/2012 – Part 3



We went to Rainbow Bay for lunch. I’ve never been so close to the sea. This is another hot spot for surfers. Here’s the world famous Snapper Rocks.

After that, we had our lunch at Rainbow Bay Surf Club. Luckily we arrived 10 minutes before the kitchen closed!

Nachos (no idea how much) and Snapper Rocks Hot Seafood Plate (AUD20.50) which consists of beer battered flathead, tempura torpedo prawns, salt and pepper squid with chips, salad, tartare and lemon. Another bowl of sauces is for the nachos.


Left: View from the balcony of the club.
Right: Some decors in the club.


After lunch, we headed down to another beach. We had to walk barefooted.


Goodness! It’s so painful!


Experienced really hard time walking on the rocks.


It’s sharp, uneven, slippery, and wet too.


Finally headed back to the beach, the surfers were still pouring in for an evening surf.


Left: Wheel of Surfers Paradise.
Right: Goodbye Gold Coast!

We went to the airport very early the next morning to catch the flight back to Adelaide.

That’s the end of my Brisbane/Gold Coast trip.

Brisbane 23/7/2012 – Part 3

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Brisbane 23/7/2012 – Part 3

After we had enough of the rides, we went over to Whitewater World to see what’s it’s all about since we bought the annual pass, then shouldn’t be wasting it. At least must go in to have a look.

It was rather disappointing though. Was expecting it to be grander than this. Couldn’t play at all, it’s winter, it’s fricking cold!

Left: Huge slippers!
Right: The Wedgie.


Cabanna.


Wiggle Bay for children to have fun and parents to relax, nothing extreme.



So many different type of slides.

After having a look at Whitewater World, we went back to Dreamworld.

Left: Finally saw the white tiger.
Right: In fact, there were many places that we didn’t venture in Dreamworld. While waiting for our friends to play with the rides, we walked around to explore more of Dreamworld. If not it would be a waste of the entrance fee. Blardy expensive you know. So must fully utilize it.


Left: If not mistaken, the shearing of sheep fur was done here.
Right: Kangaroos.


My first time seeing real koala after one year 3 months ;p


Crocodiles.


Left: Central Rail Station of Dreamworld. Didn’t go on this ride though.
Right: Firefighters Water Challenger for children.

Finally we called it a day, we left at about 5pm back to Brisbane to meet my friends in the CBD.


Went back to Beach House at Myer. Was lucky it was Monday Steak Night.


Left: Medium well steak. Hmmm… Should have ordered it medium rare. The slice was so thin. Pretty tough. Oh well, less than AUD10, what do you expect?
Right: If not mistaken, this is garlic bread. It was ordered by a friend of mine, we shared this. Not bad, tasted quite nice, the bread was chewy.

That’s how the night went. Headed back to sleep. Was so tired and need to wake up early the next day to tour Gold Coast.
