悠游的撒哈拉This cafe is located at the Mount John Observatory in the South Island of New Zealand. It is not far from Lake Tekapo and is usually driven by car. There is a toll booth at the foot of the mountain, and you need to pay 8 SGD in cash. You can overlook Lake Tekapo and the entire town from the top of the mountain. Address: Godly Peaks Road, Lake Tekapo ⏰ Business hours: 9:00-17:30 Consumption: Coffee: 4-5.5 SGD/cup Cake: 5 SGD/piece ❤️ Recommended: 1. This cafe is really worth a visit, the scenery is beautiful 2. The cappuccino with planet-shaped patterns is delicious and beautiful 3. The cheesecake is also recommended. Not recommended: Popsicles are expensive and have no special taste. Tips: 1. There is a protruding stone halfway up the hill in the cafe, which is highly recommended for posing 2. The sun in New Zealand is very strong. From about 10 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it is all top-lit, which is not suitable for taking photos, so either arrive at 9 o'clock when it opens, or arrive at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. 3. After the cafe closes at 5:30, you can still take photos on the hillside outside the cafe.

Starde198I suggest that if you want to go, you should make a reservation first, so that you can get a better place to eat when you go back. Then the dishes here are quite good, with a wide variety of choices and different flavors.

3. Kohan Restaurant

pxy0705This Japanese restaurant at the foot of Mount Cook is really worth a try. The ingredients here are very fresh, and the traditional Japanese cooking method is used, which is not only exquisite but also delicious. Especially the seafood here is very fresh, the meat is plump, and it is definitely worth a try.

5. Poppies Cafe & Restaurant

AU$26Coffee Shops

东游西浪A relatively large coffee shop, business is quite good during breakfast, with many cars parked outside. The temperature is not high in the morning, and the wind is strong, so few people dare to sit outside. This shop looks like it is run by a family, and the girls working at the cashier and serving food are not very old. The taste is okay and the price is not expensive.

6. The Panorama Restaurant

沙漠里的赤裸裸#Posting food at this time is not to attract hatred# In fact, I was looking for food seriously along the way, trying to understand the local customs. I was also satisfied with the grilled squid in Piran and the chicken drumsticks in Split, but when I arrived in Dublin, I was really amazed, and it turned out that both the visual and taste were the most amazing. The over-commercialization of Nanggang also has its advantages. First of all, Panorama in the bitter wind and rain, although the cable car stopped, the restaurant was still open. Originally, I was sitting on the cliff corner overlooking the invincible view of the old town, but it was still shaking with the grilling light, so I had to queue indoors. The waiter said that we did not expect such bad weather in this season, and he stuffed us a 10% discount coupon. The tiger prawn soup was delicious, and the golden onions with cream mussels were crispy, plus the casserole container kept warm. I more or less admitted that I still had a Chinese stomach, and I found the feeling of licking the plate with Teacher Qin in the lake area. This boss opened restaurants at the cable car station and three main roads in the old town. They are all ranked among the best in the city. A 10% discount coupon is valid for the whole restaurant. I don’t understand, they are so good at business, why did the cable car stop operating due to tax arrears? ! ! ! The next night, I tried another Arsenal under their umbrella. The view of the huge arcade by the port is also unbeatable. Squid calamari is a common ingredient on the Adriatic Sea. It is juicy and not woody. The smoky smell of simple grilling is great. What’s rare is that the menu is named very carefully. The black and white tubular pasta is called "Mountain and Sea", which is very poetic; and there is also "Green Rhapsody". Guess what it is 😉😉😉 The waiter here will say "ganlanyou", will use candles to fill in the light for us, and will also enthusiastically persuade us: Ah, don’t you want some dessert? Don’t you want some sweet water? It’s only ten o’clock, and the night has just begun~

数字先锋Although it is called THAI, the sign on the door says it is a Korean restaurant, and the menu has both Thai and Korean dishes. The overall decoration, landscape and service are all good. I ordered curry puffs, spring rolls, and green Thai curry with rice, which is very delicious.
