Gold Coast Day 2:
Woke up at like 6 to prepare (4am in SG :O) for the long day~
Our hotel room was clean and spacious & the location was pretty good too! Shopping malls, restaurants & beaches next to it. Heheh. But it was a pity that we didn't get to use their outdoor pool & spa - 'cuz it was too cold T_T
Btw, we stayed at Hotel Grand Chancellor Surfers Paradise!!
Breakfast at Pancakes in Paradise!
Seriously, it really felt like I was in Paradise after I took a bite. Best pancakes I've ever tried.. Wins places like Strictly Pancakes (SG) and Pancakes on the rocks (Sydney) HANDS DOWN.
It was really filling as well, like I was damn full after i ate one pancake hahaha
Btw, that's butter, not ice cream!
Pancakes in Paradise
3046 Gold Coast Highway, Surfers Paradise
MUST. VISIT.
Off to Movie World!
There was a promotion going on: 90AUD for tickets to 3 theme parks! But we only went to MovieWorld
First ride: Green Lantern roller coaster
It looks pretty scary but it was actually quite ~meh~
OUR HEROES
Family ride next 'cuz Mich doesn't dare to take roller coasters AT ALL. Hahahah
It was colddddddd (16 degree celsius) and we were all covered up compared to them. Wonder Woman & Super Woman indeed!
Entering the Harry Potter shop!
$59.99 (~$70SGD?) wand for sale
Completed the Superman ride alone 'cuz Shan & Mich refused to try it. Queued an hour plus & made friends with 3 Singaporeans :) The most thrilling ride I've tried there & I don't mind going on this over & over again!
Left Movie World > Back to Hotel > Made our way to the Dracula Show.
$90AUD for a 3 course meal & performance
HAHHAHAAH
I was really scared 'cuz we had to take a haunted ghost train to the main venue T_T On the other hand, the two of them were excited for it dafuqqqq haha
Appetizer: Some pie/quiche
Btw, we ate under this lighting (part of the whole dracula atmosphere) & it kinda affected my appetite
Main!
This was taken with flash - The sauce was like orangey red under the lighting. Really felt like a Dracula maaaagawd.
Dessert: Chocolate coffin with berries & cream
This was pretty good hahah
The show was quite an eye-opener 'cuz it was my first time at a Cabaret restaurant. Uhhhh, not my cup of tea I guess. Was looking forward to be back at our hotel 'cuz I was so tired & bored :/
Gold Coast Day 3:
Was supposed to have our breakfast at Black Coffee Lyrics but it was closed :(
Such a pity 'cuz there're many good reviews of it online, ahhhh
Black Coffee Lyrics
3131 Surfers Paradise Blvd
Had our breakfast at The Coffee Club instead!
Big Breakfast & Fish & Chips to share :)
P/s: I really like dining in Aussie 'cuz most places will display the calories of every food item. Eg, Big Breakfast is 6142 KJ.. which is almost 3/4 of our daily intake (for girls) What the heck.
Must have a cup of cappuccino every morning!
Took a bus to Robina Town Centre & public transport is crazily expensive there :'(
$5.80AUD (one way) omfggggg $.$
Pretty much like Vivo! Spent our entire afternoon there~
& it was DINNER TIME!
Ate at a random restaurant & food was ooo-kay
Chilled at a cafe after dinner for free wifi.. Like we sat there for 2-3 hours & we only bought a cup of mocha :/ #cheaposingaporeans
And.. that's the end of day 3 :)
Day 0 & 1 here!
