Vegetarian Surfers Paradise Dining – Zambrero
There are a couple of chains around the Gold Coast that do Mexican style food, of these, my pick is Zambrero. No only is the food delicious but for every meal you buy, someone in need also gets a meal – its a win-win. The sign in the store on Wednesday when I went, … Continue reading
Vegetarian Surfers Paradise Dining – Poké California
I was looking forward to sharing about a great little hidden gem in Surfers Paradise called Poké California, which opened in the Circle on Cavill mall a few months ago. I guess I missed the boat though, when I went on Thursday it was busy! It’s still physically not in the best spot, near the Woolworths … Continue reading
Vegetarian Surfers Paradise Dining – PappaRich
For around the last 18 months I have been working in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. I thought it might be fun to share a few of the more inexpensive vegetarian dining options that I pick for a quick, casual lunch. First up, one of my favourites and a fairly recent addition to the … Continue reading
Italy Pavilion at Epcot
Once again continuing our stroll around the World Showcase at Epcot, we stop briefly at the Italy Pavilion. I say briefly as similarly with the Germany pavilion previously there is little of interest here (at least to me). No ride, no movie. There are a couple of shops – Italian masks and assorted souvenirs such as t-shirts, bags, scarves … Continue reading
Germany Pavilion at Epcot
Continuing our clockwise visit around World Showcase at Epcot, we have now passed by the Mexico, Norway and China pavilions. We have now arrived in the Germany Pavilion. I’m not a huge fan of this pavilion, I find there is little that interests me personally. The miniature train set that is just outside the pavilion did keep my nephews entertained for … Continue reading
China Pavilion at Epcot
As we continue our clockwise visit around World Showcase at Epcot, we have now passed by the Mexico pavilion and the Frozen pavilion Norway pavilion, so our next stop is the China Pavilion. The most noticeable thing about the China pavilion is the colour, particularly after the fairly muted colour tones of Norway. Entrance to the China pavilion is through … Continue reading
Delta meals from LAX to Sydney – OMG it was worse than awful!
You may remember a few weeks back I blogged about the amazing meals on Virgin from Brisbane to LAX. So on our way home, we were on Delta flights from Orlando via LAX to Sydney (Delta is codeshare with Virgin). Now I am not sure if it was just wishful thinking, but for some stupid reason I … Continue reading
On the hunt for decent food – Burger King – Kissimmee, Florida
Oh boy! Was I excited to get to go to Burger King and order their Veggie Burger. The thrill of being able to go to a fast food joint and order straight off the menu – woo hoo! So a Veggie Burger combo including fries and a drink it was. Cost around $US6. The patty … Continue reading
On the hunt for decent food – Taco Bell – Kissimmee, Florida
There are two things I miss as a vegetarian, one is having a choice on a regular restaurant menu “the vegetarian option”… its not an option if there is only one thing to pick. The second is being able to get fast food. While I like to eat healthily most of the time, some days … Continue reading
On the hunt for decent food – Cici’s Pizza – Kissimmee, Florida
Another place we dined while at Walt Disney World in Florida was Cici’s Pizza. There are a number of these scattered around the area and we went to one in Kissimmee on 192. They do takeaway pizza’s and also a dine in buffet. We did the buffet. First up, pricing – adults $6.99 and I … Continue reading
On the hunt for decent food – Sweet Tomatoes – Kissimmee, Florida
One of our favourite places to eat when we are in the USA is Sweet Tomatoes, also known in some states as Souplantation. We have found Sweet Tomatoes in both California and Florida, and often its our “go to” restaurant of choice as vegetarians. We have rarely been impressed by vegetarian offerings in other restaurants … Continue reading
Virgin Australia meals from Brisbane to LAX
Airline meals can be the difference of a great or mediocre flight. I’ve written previously of our experiences with Air New Zealand and Qantas. But without further ado, Virgin Australia… For this journey, we had 8 of us including 3 children and 2 vegetarians. Virgin Australia offers a number of special meal choices and I … Continue reading
On the hunt for decent takeaways – Staveley Fish Supply & Hamburger Bar
There are two phone numbers I remember from my childhood – my parents number and the number for the Staveley Fish Supply & Hamburger Bar … 342 7468. As a child, this was always our favourite place to get takeaways, the burgers were amazing! Fast forward a few years and the place has changed owners … Continue reading
Pretentious food … or who gobbed on my meal?
I don’t get this whole “foam” food thing. I’m not a fussy eater. Heck, I’ll try anything that doesn’t have a deceased animal in it. But when this dish showed up in front of me on our trip to San Francisco last month, it did take me back a second. On the menu, this was listed … Continue reading
Angel Island State Park – San Francisco, USA
On a previous trip to San Francisco I took a trip to Alcatraz. This time, as part of our organised Adventures by Disney trip we got the opportunity to go to Angel Island. The entire island is part of the California State Park system and access is via boat or ferry. I confess I didn’t know … Continue reading
