Review: Saccharomyces Beer Cafe, Fish Lane (Brisbane, Australia)

January 14, 2020

Saccharomyces Beer Cafe was one of the many interesting-looking places along Fish Lane, an arts precinct that brings together culture, entertainment, and food and drink. The entire stretch was decorated with Christmas ornaments hanging from above and beautiful murals along the walls. There was such a festive and hip vibe going on here. My husband … More Review: Saccharomyces Beer Cafe, Fish Lane (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Moreton Island Get Wrecked 1-Day Tour (Brisbane, Australia)

January 13, 2020

My husband and I booked a Moreton Island Get Wrecked day tour via Klook (sign up with my link so we both get $5 credit each!) and got our tickets at a discounted rate (yay for savings!). The Get Wrecked tour involved slightly more “adventurous” physical activities, as compared to the Scenic tour that had … More Review: Moreton Island Get Wrecked 1-Day Tour (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Corbett & Claude Restaurant, Elizabeth Street (Brisbane, Australia)

January 12, 2020

Finding this restaurant was a little challenging because there were construction works being carried out on the building next to it and the area was hoarded up. Thanks to the lone menu stand put out on the street, my husband and I were able to locate the well-disguised entrance to the restaurant (we arrived from … More Review: Corbett & Claude Restaurant, Elizabeth Street (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Master Tom’s Espresso Burger Bar, Albert Street (Brisbane, Australia)

January 11, 2020

On our way to the Riverside Markets at the Gardens (reviewed that experience here), my husband and I happened to chance upon Master Tom’s. After looking at the menu, we agreed to come back here for lunch once we were done checking out the Riverside Markets. Guess we should’ve looked up the reviews on this … More Review: Master Tom’s Espresso Burger Bar, Albert Street (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Riverside Markets, Brisbane City Botanic Gardens (Brisbane, Australia)

January 10, 2020

Just a heads up, if you’re planning to visit Riverside Markets, do note that it is located at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, which is in the CBD area, and not the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, which is near Mount Coo-Tha. I was momentarily confused while planning my itinerary until I realized they were two different … More Review: Riverside Markets, Brisbane City Botanic Gardens (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Summit Restaurant & Bar, Mount Coo-Tha (Brisbane, Australia)

January 9, 2020

After an exhausting climb up to the Mount Coo-Tha lookout (which I reviewed here), having dinner here at the Summit Restaurant & Bar was a real reward for our efforts. My husband and I were initially undecided on whether to dine here as we also wanted to check out the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium before … More Review: Summit Restaurant & Bar, Mount Coo-Tha (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Mount Coo-Tha Lookout Trail Hike (Brisbane, Australia)

January 8, 2020

Most outdoor activities are on the bottom of my list of things to do when travelling, especially if they involve some sort of physical exertion or risk. My husband, on the other hand, loves these activities. So if we do engage in outdoor activities, it’s probably either his idea or me balancing out our itinerary … More Review: Mount Coo-Tha Lookout Trail Hike (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Brisbane Night Market, Rocklea (Brisbane, Australia)

January 7, 2020

Brisbane Night Market opens every Friday from 4pm to 10pm, and the same organizers also run the Saturday Fresh Market and the Sunday Discovery Market at the same location. It took quite a bit of time to travel out here by public transport from the city centre. I would’ve come for the other two markets … More Review: Brisbane Night Market, Rocklea (Brisbane, Australia)

Review: Bumbles Cafe, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

January 6, 2020

This quaint little cafe nestled in the middle of a residential neighbourhood was the perfect place to have a quiet lunch with my husband. Although it took a bit of walking to get to (under the scorching afternoon sun, no less), we were rewarded with a nice view of the river that ran parallel to … More Review: Bumbles Cafe, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

Review: Malt House, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

January 4, 2020

My husband and I initially wanted to have dinner at another restaurant but when we went there, we found out that it was closed. We then walked along the same street to find alternatives and saw Malt House, which was in our list of restaurants to check out. The restaurant interior was rather bland and … More Review: Malt House, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)
