Breakfast at Candy Cafe -
Candy Cafe was chanced upon when we passed by for Lillipad Cafe. It is also quite a popular place, and the lady who seemed like the lady boss was welcoming us in every time we passed by.
We woke up slightly later that day and there was not much of a crowd. It was nice and cosy. Our noses were starting to peel from the sunburnt and my make up did not sit well.
We ordered an ultimate breakfast (A$24.90) & a pulled pork eggs benedict (A$19). There is finally hashbrowns!!! Our favourite <3. The add on will be extra A$3. My bf did not like the pulled pork too much. I think it does not go very well in this combination.
Today we had two beverages each because we have all the time in the world to chill - Cuppacino Cup (A$4), Mocha Cup (A$4.50), Long Black Mug (A$4.50) & Ice Chocolate (A$7). You should definitely upgrade your cup to a mug size at A$0.50 additional for more caffiene kick. The long black as usual is on the sour side and I had to go with 3 packets of sugar. The ice chocolate is sooooo sweet!
Shopping at Cairns Central Shopping Centre -
The itinenary for the day is basically shopping. I was thinking of buying more stuff from Kmart since the other day I discovered it! The distance to walk there is okay and helps with digesting our food. The shopping centre opens around 9am to 5.30pm only (except supermarket & Kmart) so you have to plan your time. It is like a typical office job.
While I was taking a lot of time at Daiso, Kmart, Temt, Target and other shops to buy stuff, my bf was happily on the comfort chair. While he was playing his game, this boy so funnily came very close to him to look at his game. Boost drinks cost about the same in Aussie as compared to Singapore.
There are quite a lot of things to see because the shopping centre was new to us. Otherwise, it is actually a rather small shopping centre and we were done at about 4pm.
Dinner at Hog's Breath Cafe -
This is specially chosen for my beloved because Hog's specialises in steak. We waited for awhile for our seats because it was packed already at 6pm. The cafe gives off a very energetic vibe, like those places you can gather with friends to watch football.
I remembered we ordered the slow cooked prime rib steak (A$37.95) which was more tender and juicy. I think we took the traditional cut and it was good enough! The mega cut might be too crazy as the steak is really thick! The meat is indeed tender, and does not really taste like beef. The combo goes with calamari and curly fries, which is perfect.
I ordered "What a catch" which consists of a variety of deep fried seafood. I particularly like the crispy squid stick, which taste like a crispy spring roll. Too much fried food can be cloying though. This is when the buffulo wings come to the rescue. The spicy sauce sure whets the appetite.
Cairns Night Market -
We were back for the massage and some shopping!
First of all, I would like to recommend this leather shop (Your Leather Shop) which is owned by a nice handsome Japanese man. He decided to do what he likes in Cairns as work life at home was too restrictive and he does not want to conform to the norms. He has a selection of great leather goods that are great options for souvenirs. Customised engraving is complimentary with any leather goods bought, and it can be collected in just 30 minutes later. The boss is helpful & friendly, so do drop by and check it out. I bought a leather key holder at A$30 for my daddy. So much regrets for choosing black because the engraving like cannot see! lol.
There seems to be two main massage branches, and we decided on Rosie's massage. While I liked the foot massage, I found the back massage lacking of strength. I don't feel the shiokness after the massage session. I cannot remember the exact price now but it is quite affordable for a sixty minutes session. My nose was so blocked while facing down, and I couldn't really enjoy the process :(.
It is almost time for Melbourne now! Stay tuned.
Sorry, I am taking too long to write my travel stories 😅.
