The Deck - Glen Hotel Dinner

Last night, the parents and I hit the Glen Hotel for dinner; it was my shout!

The Glen Hotel’s the nearest eating place to where we live; it’s literally just down the street!

Dearest dad wanted steak so I ordered one for him exactly the way he likes it: “medium rare with pepper sauce, please.” As for mother and I, we ordered a fisherman’s platter to share.

We chose a comfortable booth seat to sit. The other option would have been outside with our backs to the heaters that look like street lamps but last night wasn’t too cold so we picked a spot inside.

Our food came only after a short wait and it was delicious! The fisherman’s platter came not only with battered fish and chips, but even calamari rings and a scallop! Dad’s steak arrived practically bleeding (which was fair enough; I’d ordered it medium rare for him after all) and we all shared, although mother and I only nibbled the edges of dad’s steak because we prefer our meat cooked, thank-you very much!

Best of all, there was even live entertainment! Just one lone man with a guitar but because he used a mixer, it honestly sounded like he had extra vocals and a band to back him up! Dad and I clapped heartily for him whenever he finished a song; as we left I waved and he flashed me a thumbs up~

To top the night off we even ordered an adorable mini little round strawberry cheesecake to share. As with everything we share between the three of us, I cut dad half while mother and I had one quarter each. Mother also enjoyed all the cream squirted to one side of the plate!

All in all, what a night: it’s great to discover that you can have a fancy dinner out for three people costing less than one hundred dollars!

SkatingAt Festival(Winter Festival)

Now is the winter time in Brisbane, but the lowest degree in Winter time is just only around 7-8 degree. Thus, we cannot see the snow at all.
However, you can go to SkatingAt Festival to have a snowy winter.
From this Friday to 14 July 2019, a giant ice rink and ice slide have setup in King George Square. I believe you can skate in there. But you need to pay the entry fee, Adult $28, Children (5 to 13-year-old) $20.(Buy online~5% off).
Also, there are some food trucks next to the ice rink. They offer some hot foods, which is the best for the cozy winter.
That sounds cool, I think you should not miss this event.

DFO EOFY Sales

DFO Brisbane

These days are the period of EOYF sales, DFO and Harbour Town have significant price reductions. Some friends said that most of the goods in Harbour Town are half price. However, in fact, we had been to Harbour Town a few weeks ago. At that time, there were already a lot of goods at half price, so there was nothing new.

And we went to DFO today, there are many people there, and it is not easy to find a parking space. I want to find a place to eat there, and there is no place! As for the discounted products, there are generally 30% to half price. For example, 25% off further storewide at New Balance

New Balance Outlet

Puma has 40% off storewide

Pumpa Outlet

And of course I have the harvest, all the Strandbag suitcases are half price. I spent $159 to buy a large size American Tourister suitcase! DFO EOFY sale price last tomorrow!
