Yesterday, I went to hakataya for dinner. I saw there was a poster about their 20th anniversary. In the poster, to celebrate this, tomorrow (13/2) from 11am, they will offer a free ramen in their all stores included City, Garden City and Sunnybank Plaza Store. Please go to their website to check their store locations That sounds great!
Next Monday, that is Chinese Lunar New Year. There are some events to celebrate that, such as Asian Markets and Chinese New Year parade. Both of them are a part of BrisAsia Festival. Although this festival is not just about Chinese Lunar New Year, many of events are in China Town Mall and will be held around Chinese New Year period around 8 Feb and 12 Feb. Please check their schedule and go to China Town Mall to enjoy the Chinese Culuture activities!
Last Thursday, UNIQLO opened their first Brisbane Store at Indooroopilly shopping Center. I wished to be in there at that day, but I am so busy. Finally, I got some hours for shopping in there yesterday.
I like this store, there are very neatly! Although many shoppers were in there, there is not so crowded. I still had a quite comfortable shopping experience. The most important thing were the opening offers, such as $19.90 for Polo Shirt and $29.90 for Chino Shorts. That is too bad, the opening offers has been ended yesterday.
Well, I got some good stuff from there. A polo shirt , which original price is $29.90, was on special at $14.90.
A cotton sweater which original price is $49.90 , was on special at $14.90. I think I got somethings in a very good value.
One things I don’t like is the store not big enough. I asked their staff about that too. The staff explained to me, the main Brisbane Store will open at Queens Street Mall around early of next year. The main store will be six times bigger than this one and with a kid wear section too. He said I will be happy when I visit their main store next year!

Last Saturday,I and my wife went to Harbour Town, which is the outlets mall in Gold Coast, for shopping. We fond a lot of shops are running some large discount offers, such as Puma has 50% off on selected sport footwear. Finally, I spent about $80 in Nike Factory Outlet. Almost whole store has 40% off on the marked price. I bought a pair of running shoes for $60
And $18 for a shirt
That was a big bargain!
Please don’t miss it, I know the special offers will end soon.
I love UNIQLO a lot, I felt their clothing very comfortable. So, I am waiting for their Brisbane store opening for long time. Finally, this Thursday, 3rd, Decemeber, 2015. , that is their Indooroopilly store Grand Opening. That is the first store in Brisbane. Moreover, there will be some grand opening offers. For the further details, please check out their website. I think I will buy a polo shirt for $19.99.

Time is going so quick, that is around 3 weeks away from Christmas. Brisbane City is getting ready for Christmas too. Today, the Queensland’s largest solar powered Christmas Tree are placed in front of the City Hall. Today, 7pm, there will be a lighting ceremony for this Christmas at King George Square. If you will be in City tonight, I think that worth to take part in that event.
Moreover, the major shopping malls around Brisbane placed their Christmas Decorations too. A few days ago, I was shopping in Garden City. I saw the mall installed a lot of Christmas Decorations. They looks more beautiful than the past year, such as golden Christmas tree at the photo above. That is very eyes catching!
This afternoon, I went to Sunnybank Plaza for Summer version of Sunnybank $2 Food Trail. Today, Sunnybank Plaza was very busy. I spent a few minutes for finding a parking spot. After I parked my car, I entered the mall. That was full of people. I guess a lot of people in there for this event.
Fortunately, I arrived a bit before the start of this event (2pm), I only spent a few minutes for lining up. Firstly, I had $2 pork buns.
Those three small pork buns tasted good and even I called them “small buns”. The portion was not small at all.
Of course, I went to Boost Juice. I bought a cup of watermelon juice.
Lastly, I had a curry chicken rice from Cafe Me. I love this curry. However, the portion is a little bit small. Well, this portion for $2 is not bad.
Besides of the food I had, there were a lot of other dishes, such as Roti, small sandwich from subway,fried wonton from Zen noodle and Black Tea. The range of dishes were very wide.
Apart from food, there were some performances too, such as loins dance.
That event is not bad. Moreover, this afternoon was very hot, around 35 degree. This event was good for killing some time in air-conditioned shopping mall.
This Saturday (21st November,2015), Sunnybank Plaza and Sunny Park will hold an event, Sunnybank $2 Food Trail. On that day, from 2pm to 8 pm, a number of restaurants in those two shopping centers will offer $2 tasting plates. Moreover, the ranges of dish on the offers have Chinese, Japanese, Hong Kong Style, Vietnamese, Korean and Taiwanese styles. That sounds attractive!
For the further details, please visit their website.
Recently, a few global fashion chain stores planned to expand their networks in Brisbane. On 14th November, H&M opened their new store in Queen Street mall and UNIQLO planned to open their new store in Queen Street mall on the end of this year too. I also found Zara is working on their new store at Queen Street Mall too. It will open at 20th November 2015. The opening hours is from 9am to 9pm. Well, I think Zara is a bit too expensive for me. I think UNIQLO more.
I have been Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers a number of times. However, this year, that was the first times to attend the 2015 Grand Central Floral Parade. There were a number of local groups are involved, such local radio station, shops and charity groups. I think there were more than 20 floats taken part. A number of people watched the parade. A few rows of people packed along the parade route. We arrived quite late, so we were at the back. That was the reason we cannot see the parade very clearly. At the end, we were only in there for 30 minutes.
Although we were not enjoy the parade, there were many good things to do. For example, we had a quick walk in Queens Park. There were many flowers.
Also, we had a short stay in USQ Japanese Garden too. This garden is beautiful. I felt like I was in Japan.
Lastly, we had a stop-over in picnic point. The view in there were good!
