Destination: Australia
Duration: 6 Days 5 Nights (Apr 09~Apr

Day 5: Last Night at Surfer’s
Paradise
Today was our last day in Gold Coast
thus we’d decided to take a cab to Surfer’s Paradise after the event. It was
drizzling that night so not much we could do when we reached Surfer’s Paradise.
We ended up in this highly recommended restaurant by Sofitel called Hurricane’s
and ordered their famous ribs. The place was really popular and it was a full
house even though it was a Thursday. The ribs were really scrumptious
especially the beef! Nom nom!

The rain finally stopped after our
dinner so we simply walked around the area aimlessly – unfortunately most shops were
already closed since it was late. I walked past the same Hungry Jack that I had
my 1st meal in Gold Coast in my personal trip back in 2013 (link).
Such Nostalgia! :P
 |
| Walking without direction |
 |
| Hello Seagull! |
 |
| Nice seeing you again after 3 years! |
 |
| Surfer's Paradise! |
 |
| Our Shadows! |

 |
| Where should we go? |
We stopped for some ice cream before
walking past HardRock Café which was closed by that time. After that we simply
stopped a cab randomly and got back to Sofitel.
 |
| Let's get some ice cream instead |
 |
| I totally forget what flavor it is but it's one of the recommended flavor |
 |
| Hard Rock! |
Since it was our last night, we’d decided
to be more adventurous to walk to Jupiter’s Casino to have a look. It was kind
of a letdown though as it was quite small and since we had no idea how to
gamble, we simply left after a while to romp around area new Sofitel instead.

 |
| This looks nice but closed. =( |
 |
| Koala! |
Day 6: Time to go home!
I had to wake up fairly early to get to
Brisbane airport as my flight was in the morning. Once I reached Brisbane airport,
I went straight to the Coffee Club for their egg benedict which was highly
recommended by my colleagues. It was indeed delicious but I think the
hollandaise sauce there was a bit too much. =P
 |
| The only "Sunrise" i saw during my stay in Gold Coast... if this can be called Sunrise! =P |
 |
| The Coffee Club |
 |
| This looks heavenly! |
 |
| Runny Egg Yolks! |
 |
| Giant Chess Pieces |
 |
| Sammy is eager to go home! |
I finally board my flight and was served
lunch and I chose the egg noodle with chicken. It tasted just okay but it was
nice to eat some noodles after many days of western food. Before touching down
to Singapore, we were served snack again and I chose the chicken & mushroom
pie. It was quite dry and frankly speaking – not very appetizing. LOL!!!
 |
| Let's have some beer! |
 |
| Red Wine & Noodles.. =P |
 |
| Dessert |
 |
| Chicken & Mushroom Pie with White Wine |
I had a few hours transfer at Changi so I
simply walked around, worked a little and goofed with the Changi Mascot. I also
bought my MOET Nectar Imperial using SGD40 Changi airport SQ transfer voucher
(SGD20 from my Japan trip & SGD20 for this trip). I ended up paying around
another SGD40 for this bottle of MOET. Definitely a steal! =P
 |
| Cute Mascot! |
 |
| My MOET Nectar Imperial!!! |
It was dinner time so I bought roasted
pork rice at Tai Hin but it was terrible! The roasted pork in Cecil Market in
Penang tastes so much better than this so-called famous roasted pork. *facepalm*
By the way, Garrett’s Popcorn was newly opened at T2 that time as well! Nom
Nom!!!
 |
| This is supposedly very famous |
 |
| Yet this is BAD! |
 |
| Let'e have some popcorns instead |
 |
| Crispy Caramel Popcorn! |
We were having ‘traffic jam’ in tarmac
before finally lifted off the ground for Penang! Hooray! It was finally time to
go home! =)
 |
| Traffic Jam!!! |
 |
| Finally in the Air! |
