Couch Potato was an interesting flavour, with choc coated potato chips (read fish and chip style chips). Had to have one of those! Had another flavour which was basically a bounty bar on crack. The only thing that detracted from the visit was that my two flavours were terribly soft. This made it a mad scoff to get the ice cream below the cup line while sharing it with my ice cream sucking daughter. My wife's flavours weren't as soft so maybe it comes down to the ice cream flavour whether it tends toward firm of soft serve-like in consistency

Stayed at Meriton. Heard about this Japanese restaurant. Thought we'd check it out.

The spanner crab omelette was to die for- every mouthful was deliciously cooked crab. Best entree I've had in a long time. We had the +7 and +9 wagyu. Right in front of us, the chef showed the meat first and then proceed to cook it to perfection- blue, thank you. Overall our evening was superb. The wine list is excellent. Check out the computerized toilets- with translation!

In fact the only thing better than the service was the food, I ordered sashimi, sushi and teppanyaki vegetables for an entree and they were all incredible. There were so many different types of fish provided in the sushi and sushi and it was really a treat, and the vegetables were cooked just right. I had a lamb main, and it was also amazing. The lamb was cooked perfectly and was served with the nicest source I have ever had. This was all served with the house sake, which was delicious. Overall fantastic experience and I cannot recommend the restaurant enough!

This is one delightful hole-in-the-wall restaurant out in the 'burbs of Robina. I stumbled across…read moreit quite haphazardly one day, and it was a most pleasant experience. I've been back many times since. My particular favourite is the crackling pork and bean curd hotpot... it's heavenly. Robert's has a delightful Hong Kong-style menu with lunch options such as BBQ pork and roast duck noodles. Dinner consists of pretty authentic fare too. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent local Asian eatery. The one negative is that Robert's wife at the front counter could probably be a little more friendly.

TL;DR: Tenjin is one of the best deal ramen places on the…read moreGold Coast. Context: Was actually looking for JFX Nexus Southport (which was closed), and found myself near Tenjin, so went there instead. The time was around 2:45pm on Saturday, there were around 2 tables who already received their food. I ordered a Charsiu ramen (the original ramen with extra pork slices). With no other orders waiting before mine, I got my ramen within 2 minutes, making it one of the fastest places. Ramen: The noodle used here is thin (less than 1mm) noodles. The soup is fine. The pork slices are 1.5mm thick, cut from a roll of around 10cm diameter, which makes it one of the more generous dispensors of charsiu amongst ramen joints. The charsiu ramen boasts around 5 to 6 pieces of these babies - I think that's one of the best value-of-money charsiu ramens in Gold Coast. Notes: The kaedama (extra ball of noodle) here is free for the first serving per customer, then $2.50 each. FYI, there's free self-serve pink pickled ginger and sesame grinder. Also, there's a $2-off deal for big-eaters/macrophages who order a ramen and something deep-fried. Verdict: I keep on saying the line "one of the" for Tenjin, so to summarise: Tenjin is one of the best deal ramen places on the Gold Coast.
