JackFNQ Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Every 3 years or so we take the kids to Gold Coast. Will be headed there in May. Just wondering where are the best places to eat? Normally i take the wife to the Versace Buffet and there is a good ribs/steak place next to it in the marina arcade. Also like going to Yum Cha. We like trying different things. Any suggestions...

JohnS Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It would be great for you to visit, Hunter. The Gold Coast is comparable, in terms of weather and infrastructure, to the east coast of Florida, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFNQ Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Went to TopOne YumCha yesterday. I think Brisbane Chinatown is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good. Some live unshucked oysters from Tasmania as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFNQ Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Managed to pick up some dreamworld tickets for $30 for 30 days. May is a good time of year to go. Bit colder for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Wife and I ate at a great restaurant there around 10 years ago. Forget the name but recall the Moreton Bay Bugs fondly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFNQ Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Wife and I ate at a great restaurant there around 10 years ago. Forget the name but recall the Moreton Bay Bugs fondly! They are the best. I had a friend from USA visit and he wanted Moreton Bay Bugs. I let him down as I didn't realise that they weren't easy to get in the USA. My bad. So common here.

Smooth Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Now looking for some sukiyaki, but may have to settle for Teppanyaki. Arakawa at Royal Pines Resort does a good Sukiyaki, plus amazing sushi and Teppanyaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I eat there once a week. Forgot to mention sukiyaki isn't on the menu but they will happily make it upon request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFNQ Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks Smooth for the info. I'll look into it. I haven't had sukiyaki in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFNQ Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Went to Ribs&Rumps on the marina last night. Got a 50%off prepay deal. I'd recommend fillet steak with pork ribs and mash. Kids liked the sorbet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFNQ Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Had a humble lunch outside movieworld entrance today on the picnic tables. Rolls with smoked salmon & cold smoked salmon and guacamole. Better and cheaper than the greasy rubbish inside. Can't do 5star all the time. But with byo cups, a 2lt choc milk and bundy sars not too shabby.
