Brisbane is a coastal city with an abundance of seafood at luxury buffets, including Australian lobsters, blue manna crabs, and king crabs—all readily available.
Martin also tried kangaroo meat for the first time.
Eliza returned with her plate, sitting opposite Martin, with vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms filling her plate.
Martin was eating a crab leg, "The seafood is not bad..."
"I'm a vegetarian," Eliza pointed to her own plate, "I don't eat meat."
"Sorry, I didn't know," Martin said.
Eliza smiled, "It's okay." She picked up a piece of mushroom and added, "Actually, being vegetarian is not just about health, it's also a cultural taste and modern consciousness."
Martin said in an American way, "That's your prerogative."
Eliza suggested, "You could try more vegetarian dishes."
Martin reached for the plate full of mushrooms, "I really like mushrooms."
