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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Review: Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets (Gold Coast, Australia)

This may be the first review on my blog about markets but it will surely not be the last because visiting markets is my go-to activity on ANY trip. Flea markets, night markets, Christmas markets, farmers markets, you name it and I’m down (if they’re good). Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets only set up for business … More Review: Surfers Paradise Beachfront Markets (Gold Coast, Australia)

Review: Gusu Chinese Food Restaurant, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

My husband and I chanced upon this place while walking around looking for a lunch venue. It was along a street that was mostly populated with Asian restaurants. The prices and food photos on the menu looked pretty decent, so we decided to give it a go. Compared to the other Asian restaurants we peeked … More Review: Gusu Chinese Food Restaurant, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

Review: Betty’s Burgers & Concrete Co. Restaurant, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

Betty’s Burgers was my favourite restaurant of the whole trip and I’m so glad that TripAdvisor and its reviewers led my husband and I here. They have many branches all over Australia so it seems like they’re doing really well, and rightfully so! The branch we dined at was the one at Chevron Renaissance Shopping … More Review: Betty’s Burgers & Concrete Co. Restaurant, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)
