Pancakes In Paradise
I had the yummiest pancakes at Surfers Paradise at this restaurant called Pancakes In Paradise. The place certainly lives up to its name with its thick and fluffy and oh-so-irresistable pancakes.
On weekends, the place is packed! They serve savoury pancakes too. E.g. with bacon and egg. You can also have your pancakes with ice cream, chocolate, banana, strawberry, etcetc. You have no lack of choices!
This is called the "Long Stack", that is, four pancakes in a stack. At first I thought that yellow scoop on stuff on top was ice cream. But it turned out to be a huge scoop of butter!!! Man, it was sinful but so damn delicious!
I know it's terribly unhealthy, but I love to drown my pancakes in maple syrup. My friends think I'm mad. But I just have a very sweet tooth and here I attempted to make a smiley face with the syrup. But the syrup soaked through and my smiley pancake looks more like a sad pancake. Oh well, it ended up in my stomach nonetheless - guess that's nothing for Mr Pancake to be happy about!
The enormous pancake that stands at the entrance to welcome visitors. And no, I didn't go for the All You Can Eat offer. I couldn't even stomach more than two so it wouldn't have been worth the money to go for the buffet. I actually shared the Long Stack with a friend. Just eating two of those pancakes left me really stuffed!
I'd recommend going to Pancakes In Paradise for a really hearty breakfast. If the restaurant were by the beach, it'd be even better with views of the beach! But unfortunately, it's not. However, it's only a three-minute walk from the beach so you can just head straight to the beach after eating!

Nice and sharp photos too!
