Hercules Street Park
Hercules Street Park is also a famous park in Brisbane because there is also a giant children’s playground. There are several different slides in the playground. Although it is not too high, it still has a special style, and there are also different climbing paths, which is really good. Therefore, there is also a perfect place for children to play hide and seek.

Like other well-known parks, there are also some places to water play, but this water plat area is a bit smaller, and there are only a few places where water jets are sprayed.

In addition, there is a large grass field where children can play ball.

At the same time, there are also some tables and chairs, where you can have a picnic, and some barbecue grills. However, the park is top-rated, so the facilities is highly demanded.
In the end, I don’t understand why such a popular park has only a few parking spots.
I believe everyone will like this park, especially children.

Tamborine Mountain can also be regarded as a tourist area, so the price for dining out is relatively high. I want to find a reasonable price and sit comfortably. Unfortunately, it’s a bit difficult in suitable places. Fortunately, after a friend’s recommendation, I went to Fortitude Brewing Co. Of course, the most famous one is a wood fire Pizza. So I ordered 12″ PERI PERI CHICKEN PIZZA, which sells for $24. The portion is ok. Enough for two people, the taste is superb, the cheese is very fragrant, that is very “Creamy,” the texture of the pizza is very elastic, and the edge of the pizza is also very crispy. In addition, there is also a kid’s meal for $12. My daughter ordered a Fish & Chips kids meal, which also included a pack of juice. The price is reasonable. As for the environment, there are wide outdoor seats; that is spacy. The space is suitable for friends of the whole family. It’s also neat. It’s perfect. Finally, there are plenty of parking spaces there, our First choice for restaurants in Tamborine Mountain.

Red Cliffe can also be regarded as a tourist area. There are also beaches, “jetty,” water play areas on the seaside, and seafood to eat. It can compare with Gold Coast. However, it is not so commercial, and it is relatively calm.

It’s like I went to Settlement Cove a few days ago.

This is a typical Redcliffe tourist area. There is a sandy beach on the side, a jogging track, and the main feature, the Lagoon, where you can swim and feel at ease, don’t be afraid of sharks and jellyfish.

Moreover, there is a water play area. There is also a children’s playground, so it is suitable for our local tourists to come here peacefully and relax.

The population of Brisbane has increased a lot in the past ten years, so several new development areas have been added, such as Park Ridge, Springfield, and Flagstone. These new districts emphasize high-quality life. Thus, each of them must have a large park. A few days ago, I went to one of the new development areas, flagstones, for a walk. There are still many open spaces there, which are still under development. However, there is already a big park. The most important thing is a large playground with three-story-high slides. There is a more special feature that it has a large water play area, and the entire water play area is designed as a water forest. A large tree will come out with a lot of water every minute. Many children like to be drenched by the big water under the tree. They want the feeling of being soaked all over. In addition, there are also some fixed small water cannons, which can be used by children to have “water war.” Similarly, there will be several small water jets that are constantly spraying out in some places, and children like to run around them. The only drawback is after the water play, and the children will get wet. It would be better if some shower facilities could be used to clean the children. Such a good facility should cost a lot, according to online information, where the cost of building is A$2 million. Another disadvantage is that there are not many parking spaces. So if you go on a holiday, you should pay attention to it.

Maruya@Gold Coast

I went to the Gold Coast side in recent months because I bought the annual ticket for the Gold Coast theme park, especially South Port. Then I also wanted to find something to eat in this area. I accidentally found an excellent Japanese restaurant there. It calls, Maruya, which is very delicious.

Earlier this year, when I finally went to dinner on a Saturday, there were many customers.
 sashimi rice
First ordered sashimi rice at that night, it was very delicious,

There is a lot of salmon, and it’s plump!
 tempura with sashim
Second, I ordered tempura with sashimi, a few thick slices of salmon, plus two prawns, which was quite attractive.
sushi platter
The third dish is the main sushi platter again!

There are eight types of salmon, tuna, prawns, etc.

Of course, the taste is good.

eel rice
In the end, because the kid doesn’t eat sashimi, we ordered a bowl of eel rice for her. Of course, I also tasted a few bites. The taste is delicious, the rice has the sauce, and the taste is not bad! The texture of the fish is also perfect. My daughter should like it a lot, and eat almost all the bowls for her.

As for parking, Southport is also considered the city center of Gold Coast, so it will be more challenging to find free parking spaces!

However, this Japanese restaurant is across the street from the Australian metro. So guys stopped by to visit the Tangren Supermarket over there, and they could park in the parking lot there and enjoy three hours of free parking, which is much more convenient.
In summary, this meal has a lot of dinners! So now this meal has become our choice for dinner.

New Shanghai Garden city

Queensland seems to be recovering financially and returning to normal, especially Garden City. I went there a few days ago, and it was prosperous. There are also new restaurants opening, one of which is New Shanghai. I went there for lunch on that day.

First of all, I must declare that I am not from Shanghai, and I have mainly eaten Cantonese food since I was little. So please don’t take it too seriously.

Of course, I ordered the famous Shanghai dish, Xiao Long Bao(Soup Dumplings). The skin is not too thick, the soup in the skin is very hot! This quality is considered to meet my requirements. To

In addition, the shredded Shandong chicken noodles are used as the main dish. The Shandong chicken is fried a bit fragrant, and the skin is very crisp. I like that.

As for the wife, he ordered a bowl of fried noodles. The noodles is not too soft and not too hard. The portion is enough too.

In fact, the most significant selling point of this point is the location and environment. That shop is located in Garden City, the largest and most important shopping mall in our southern district. In addition, it is just next to the family entertainment center, Timezonemand the upper-level food court. Therefore, the location can be regarded as the most prosperous area in the mall. You can go shopping in the mall and eat by the way.
The second is the decoration, where the lights are relatively dim! It gives people a high-class feeling and interior decoration is a kind of very Chinse Style, so I believe the locals should love it a lot. Also, you can scan the QR Code on the table, and place orders online, which is very convenient.

Finally, I ordered two bowls of noodles and half a dozen soup dumplings for only $66.5, which is a bit expensive based on our consumption habits.

Cache Cache Cafe & Bar

Brisbane is getting more people living, especially on Saturday last week. The Cyber weekend sales were on, so the major shopping malls are crowded with people, so it is not easy to find a place to have coffee and chat with friends! Fortunately, My friend found a good place, Cache Cache Cafe and Bar in Rochedale Village. That mall has not any big department stores in this mall, even Kmart. There is a supermarket, Coles, so not many people will shop in this mall. Moreover, the mall has a big car park. Finding a parking spot in there is an easy job

Furthermore, the shop has been open for at most two years, so the decoration is relatively new, and the environment is quiet and comfortable. The coffee is not too bad, I have taro cake too, and it tastes good, and I feel delighted.

You can avoid mainstream society when you live in Australia. I recalled that when I was in university, except for using English in the classes in university and doing homework, I still used Cantonese most of the time. The people who I knew were either international students from Hong Kong or immigrants from Hong Kong. I rent Hong Kong TV dramas in the Sunnybank for watching TV, and the news I read was from Hong Kong’s online newspapers. When I was young, I only had to see a Cantonese-speaking doctor for minor illnesses. So there is no need to contact the mainstream society. But, of course, I still know some small things, such as bus and train schedules are very sparse, I need to watch the timetable to wait for the bus and chase the bus when I was late. That was already my most profound understanding when I was just an international student

Using fountain pens is a niche hobby in Brisbane, but I enjoy the feeling of writing. However, many fountain pen supplies can be found on the market. For example, this Pilot’s Kakuno fountain pen can be found in the stationery chain store, Officeworks. And it only cost $20, including ink cartridge, and made in Japan. That is very valuable for money.

Moreover, the writing is smooth, and the pen body has a variety of colors to choose from, so many female fountain pen users like to use this pen. In addition, the pen body is made of plastic, which is lightweight and polygonal, which is very ergonomic,. That is very suitable for writing during the whole day. The only downside is that there is only a medium-sized nib available in Officeworks. If you are looking for a different size nib, you need to buy it from another online store, which costs a few dollars more.

Supplementary information: If you want to use bottled ink, you need to buy a converter. Because the Pilot uses its proprietary ink supply system, you can use the Pilot CON-40 ink converter. It can be found in some online stationery stores and eBay.

I love Hong Kong-style cuisine, of course, mainly because of my homesickness. In addition, I also like pragmatism and its “CAN Do” spirit. For example, Hong Kong-style milk tea is derived from English-style milk tea. In the past, Hong Kong’s economy was still underdeveloped, and the general public was not very wealthy. If you want to use authentic tea and fresh milk to make an English-style milk tea, most people would be afforded to drink it. In those days, the Hong Kong-style food stalls did not insist on authenticity, any behind the scene philosophy. They just looked for some low-priced substitutes, such as some low-priced mixed teas and canned evaporated milk. In the end, they created some things that look like English milk tea but are very affordable. In fact, in my impression, the Hong Kong-style cuisine I have eaten is not exquisite at all. In Brisbane, someone uses the spirit of Hong Kong-style cuisine to make food. The tastes of Hong Kong-style cuisine that are not “authentic” are very different. On the contrary, they will be more similar to localized Chinese food such as lemon chicken. It is easy to make, and it “seems” to be a Hong Kong-style tea meal.
