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.

I Graduated!

Finally the result is out! Was so worried that I might fail. It was better than expected as I just hoped for a pass!

YAY! That’s it, 1 1/2 year. How time flies. What should I do next?

I’ll enjoy my holiday for now. Going home in less than 3 weeks! Rather scary thinking of my future.

That’s all for now. So tired. All I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep. Finally a relief. Had been worrying for 2 weeks!

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.

We headed to another area for the amazing view of Gold Coast at John Laws Park.


Nice view! Too bad it wasn’t a sunny day.


More surfers!


After that, we headed to another area. I don’t remember the name hahaha…


The four of us on the viewing platform.

After this, we went to Rainbow Bay for lunch. To be continued…
