Korean Omelette Gaeran Mari Cheekyricho YouTube recipe

Sometime ago we presented our Kimchi Recipe, Bulgolgi Beef and our Korean Chicken Leg Recipe. This week we also brought you the signature Korean Dish Bibimbap. These recipes have become an integral part of our diet. On a recent holiday we explored more delightful Korean cuisine in greater depth and I have to say we are smitten. So much so we have sourced some Korean condiments, recipes and cooking implements. There are some Korean restaurants and grocery stores in this country but they are not easily found. We intend to present more Korean delicacies as we believe it will enhance any cooks repertoire. This delicious healthy little Korean Omelette is colourful, packed with flavour and nutrition and would make a perfect healthy entree, main course, snack or respectable banquet component. Make it ahead of time and have it at room temperature. It's incredible simply and fast to make and looks much more complex that it really is. For this recipe and so much more including many more Asian recipes in our Asian food playlist visit our YouTube channel. Leave some feedback about what you think about what we have shown you or what you would like to see.  If we can get the ingredients we will try and bring it to you.

Cheekyricho Bibimbap

Delicious Korean Bibimbap.

All the ingredients are cooked individually and then mixed at the table. The name literally means Rice   And Mix ins. 

We fell in love with Korean Food on a recent Holiday. Richo has decided he loves Kimchi. He has it on everything and even bought another Wombok so I could make some more. Pretty unusual for a bloke who is self proclaimed anti-chilli. Guess he must've acquired a taste at last. I knew I'd wear him down LOL!

Return to Townsville

We loved the place so much we had to return. By this time Richo had decided he had to have Korean for lunch so we found out about a Korean Restaurant called Zizigo Bibigo and I had Bibimbap whilst he had a meat an vegetable dish with some sort if tuna/mayo paste with rice . The interesting thing is they had these built in bbqs at some of the tables. I was keen to try it but Richo preferred the idea of someone else cooking for him in a restaurant. He said we could've cooked it ourselves in the park like last time. Still it would've been nice to see these in action.

Richo had a sizzle plate with the less spicy option.

Middle of winter and we had a swim for over an hour in the sea pool. It was superb, spectacular outlook, immaculately kept, with pathways, fishing platforms, play grounds, bbqs seating, a lifeguard tower and disabled ramps and steps. If you only have time to do one thing in Townsville, make sure you visit here. This time of year and there are no stingers and the water was about 23 degrees. The breeze was warm and balmy and the pool side cold shower was brrr-invigorating. There is even a pool side coffee shop and restaurant.

Call me unobservant but this is the first time I have seen these electric car top stations. With special parking restrictions just for buzz cars the view of the strand and ocean while you top up your batteries was really beautiful.

Tilly is a female dog but judging by her interest these power up posts are also of special interest to male dogs.

Laguna Quays Resort or Ghost town

Laguna Quays resort  with Turtle Cove 18 hole Championship Golf Course Internatiional Airport, world Class Safe Marina, resort style accommodation and Cobference Facility, started out great. It was supposed to be the Gateway to the Whitsunday Island Group. Built on the Shores of Repulse Bay. Luxury Condiminupiums were sold privately to investors looking for a tropical retreat with first class facilities literally within putting distance of a Championship Golf Course. Built within the Mackay Shire it was destined to put the tiny township of Midge Point well and truly on the map. Instead opposition from a few locals, close proximity to the Bruce Highway and substantial red tape saw this fantastically expensive projected plummeting into a financial abyss. The runway for the airport was form at extreme expense before being abandoned. The whole project was sold to a Japanese Consortium for a song and they encountered the same problems. The entire resort is in total disarray. Last year a Chinese man bought the entire project again. All staff,  Barr one maintenance man, were sacked immediately and the entire grounds and amenities have further deteriorated almost to the point of total ruin. The pro shop closed, pool drained, tennis courts taken over by weeds and vines, the play equipment destroyed and unsafe. Gardens overgrown, there has been a fire at some point in one of the buildings and the roof has a huge gaping hole, this area is prone to tropical rain at times, the inside of these buildings must be in terrible shape. The magnificent Golf Course has deteriorated significantly. Whilst the fairways appear to be maintained the greens are wrecked, the bunkers are overgrown. The little tracks and bridges for the little golf carts once sparkling and pristine with beautiful duck ponds are now potholes, overgrown tracks which are probably snake havens. Such a sad waste. We first visited this area about 8 years ago and couldn't believe the total absence of people , golfers, boats, visitors and residents was astounding. It was like a ghost town. The private town houses and condominiums have since been taken over by a private body corporate situation and the gardens are least neat and tidy, they haven't turned out to be the best investment. Most have been a number of times at increasingly lower prices. Many are still for sale and have been for some time. If you wanted to buy a fully furnished 2 bedroom townhouse with golf course adjacent to you front verandah $130 should get you one. Want something bigger? How about and luxury condominium   3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage for under $400k

If the place ever resurrects from the ruins the sinking fund will probably kill you. If you fancy a game of tennis on a court full of speed humps, a swim in a dry pool, a game of golf where the greens are considered the rough, or a playground for the kids that gives new meaning to a Jungle Gym then this could be your new heaven on earth. There is no security the front gate has been abandoned, water and power has been disconnected due to unpaid rates and the Marina has more dangerous holes in the walkways and pontoons than an Indiana Jones movie set. The beach club house no longer has a beach view and you'll need a snake charmer for an escort, although once you braved the Jumangi  plants to get there it's the distant cousin of the 'Pub with no Beer'

You won't need your floaties for this pool, the swim up bar is more for land lubbers and there is definitely NO DIVING!!!!

Jungle Gym playground, with broken steps, trip hazards, plenty of adventure here. 

You will have have to wear hiking boots and carry a whipper snipper to attend the racquet club and you probably should wear those rock hoppers onto the tennis court.

Bridge over Burdekin River Home Hill North Queensland.

I am a fan of interesting bridges. The bridge crossing the Burdekin Riverat Home Hill is very interesting, with only a 4.5m clearance at the sides large trucks are forced to travel closer the centre of the roadway to avoid hitting the sides. This can be quite scary for oncoming traffic as there is little room to move over. Home Hill is a very friendly RV town. There is a good travellers rest with warm timed showers, off street parking and good shops to replenish supplies. The tourist information people were very helpful and friendly. 

There are crocodiles in this river and very good fishing. Wouldn't advise swimming though, regardless of how hot you are.
