Frankies Place is the cutest, most awesomely decorated cafe I've ever dined at. The whole vibe about the place, coupled with the great food and excellent service makes it a real joy to dine there every time.

My favorite dish on the menu is ‘Frankies' benedict (poached egg on sourdough bread, wilted baby spinach, house made hollandaise sauce and bacon (add-on)). I don't know how they make their hollandaise sauce but it is d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s.

Take my word for it guys. Go down to Frankies' for breakfast, you won't regret it.

This place is wonderful. The service is good, the food delicious and the overall ambiance lovely.

I ordered the Capri pizza ($22.90) while my friends ordered Lamb Shank ($26.50), Pork Belly ($27.90) and Crispy Spiced Chicken ($25.90). Overall we enjoyed the Capri Pizza and Lamb Shank the most. Heads ups about the pizza though (and the pizza only)... It is huge, definitely enough to share with a friend.

Finally, the desserts at Zinc are a must try. The Caramel Cheesecake and Snickers Cheesecake ($9.90 ea) are absolutely yummy and is a perfect way to end off the meal. All in all, I definitely see myself going back to Zinc for more pizzas and desserts.

Approximate cost: $25

I went to Pancakes on the Rocks with a group of 9 others last Sunday (29/07) at 5pm. No phone reservations were allowed so we had to queue for an estimated half hour outside the restaurant before getting seats.

We ordered a mix of their famous pancakes, crepes and grilled items. The guys polished off their crepes within minutes so I wonder if the crepes are portioned enough to be considered a main course.

The best dish, however, was not the pancakes (surprise, surprise) but their grilled items. Their beef ribs ($25.95) and pork ribs ($26.95) were fantastic and comparable to Hurricane's Grill & Bar's famous ribs. However, if I had to choose only 1, I would definitely pick the beef ribs. The beef is perfectly cooked, tender and it simply melts in your mouth. The pork ribs, on the other hand, are a tad dry but the barbecue sauce hides that well.

We shared the Devils Delight ($13.95) for dessert. This dessert normally consists of 2 chocolate pancakes (topped with strawberries and chocolate ice cream) but we were able to add on 2 additional slices of pancakes for just $2 each. While the presentation of the dish is great, the taste was slightly disappointing. The chocolate pancakes were thick and had a texture closer to a brownie than a pancake. This meant that the chocolate pancake had to be eaten with some kind of sauce or it would risk being too dry.

The service was prompt and there were no wrong orders, even though my friend's calamari took an extra long time to be served. The service crew was patient with my table and one of them even took the effort to return some keys that my friend dropped on his way out of the restaurant.

All in all, I recommend this restaurant for the great service (they do try their best) and good food. The beef ribs is a must try and if visitors want to have the pancakes, to remember to share an order between friends (trust me, it's too much to finish by yourself). Also, avoid adding any extra slices of pancake to ensure that there is enough sauce/ice cream to go round.

My friends and I enjoyed ourselves on Sunday and we will definitely be coming back to this restaurant in near future!
