Very handy and quick service for a nice and easy eye brow shape. I was worried that they might promote extra services, like " would you like your lash extended or 30 mins massage, etc, etc" since they would get much more profit from other services. No fuss, I want to shape my eye brows and this is what i got. They are traditional threading method really worked, no pain, no hot wax and just as get the work done and ever quicker. The girl there was very professional and shaped my over grown eye brow into very natural shape. Love it. Got their appointment card for a free treatment after 3 full priced treatments.

This review is for Bellavist Pizza & Pasta, Mapleton QLD

Best pizza ever!!!! It was a cold and rainy night, we finished a long day from local tourist, and just wanted something warm and tasty. We found vouchers for two local take away piazza shops, and wouldn't known which one is better. Then we drove pass Bellavist and just couldn't drove any further. The shop was little but cute, and the smell was just so inviting. The menu was simply, but so different. We ordered duck and eggplant based think cut pizza and dessert i couldn't remembered. There was a bit wait, the locals are just keep coming, the tiny shop was so busy with take away as well as dinning in. By the time when we got our food, two of us just have to fight for every pieces. THEY ARE SOOOOO YUMMY. Normally we couldn't finish a 12" pizza, but that night we cleaned up the 15" and was temped to order another one to take to motel. Once I retired I would move to Mapleton just for eating from that shop more often.

We purchased a voucher from Livingsocial for 2nights $275 (for a family) The online reviews weren't great, so we were a bit worried. However, our experience with them was lovely. The bookings was easy and quick. We didn't pick the right weekend, it was raining for two days, the tin roof made a bit noisy at night. The cabin was spacious, big shower room and good size kitchen. The lady prepared Poland salad and some snacks for our arrival which was very nice. Breakfast and two BBQ meals were included as well. We couldn't use the outdoor BBQ because of the rain :(
The whole motel was rain foresty like they said, you can hear birds, ducks and bugs which was something different for us city kids.

This review is for Sushi Point, Victoria Point QLD

Do I have any other choice apart from them for sushi train? I don't think so. I went to them for maybe 3 or 4 times, and they all happens to be after movies. Oh well, they are not bad. Average food, average food and average services. Good choice for weekend lunch or " I don't know what I want for dinner" nights. :) Also, the service is good, very friendly staff, some very lovely and helpful ladies working there, made the place more welcoming.

This review is for Fantastic Food, Sunnybank QLD

This is my main Chinese grocery store for a few years now. They are not as big, as busy or as popular as other long-established Chinese supermarkets in Sunnybank, like YUAN's, however, they are my favorites. The prices are good, and they store some of the best old-time favorites from mainland China. You can find all main fresh and frozen food from Fantastic Food, and most of the time prices are cheaper. I got the vip card, and got 5% (something like that) off my total shopping bill. Really, any further discount is a bonus.

Approximate cost: $20-100

This review is for Cafe Mi, Sunnybank QLD

verified email - 16 Jun 2012

A small Asian restaurant which services mainly Hong Kong cafe cuisine, as well as western inspired dishes. I just have to say there are too many choices on their menu, and you can find all others dishes that all other sunnybank restaurant provides. Cafe Mi has been in the sunnybank plaza food court for as long as I can remember, but just never really thought to give them a try, until we went for a late movie and they are the only place still opened. It is very hard to choose what i wanted to eat ( tooooo many good choices), and the food is surprisingly delish!!!! Will certainly go back again.

Approximate cost: $12-18

This review is for Buffet Gardens, Sunnybank QLD

Really not my type of place to eat. They are have a good variety from Chinese dishes to Aussie traditions, however, nothing tastes great. It was just ok food. If you have a huge group of people, like more than 25, then they have plenty space for your party. Be prepared for listening to "happy birthday" song and kids scarming for the whole night, after all people wouldn't book this place for romantic dates or important meeting. I wouldn't go back again. Just no food there would bought me back there to put up with the enviornment.

This review is for Top Up Korean Takeaway, Sunnybank QLD

verified email - 14 Jun 2012

This is the only Korean take away stall I have ever seem, and they are always busy!!!! I guessed if a Korean take away is full of Korean people, it must be good food there. It didn't disappoint me. Everything I tried was pure awesome, especially the soup. Very fast service, good prices too. Will go back again.

Very traditional and neighbour friendly little dinning spot. Always busy and full of hungry Asian students. Very fast service, food taste average, but the special beef noodle soup is the winner.

This review is for Taste.com.au, Alexandria NSW

Why pay big money for all those cooking books when you can get them for FREE online? I can't see myself sitting in the couch, enjoying a cup of tea and reading a cooking book. If i want to cook something, but can't remember how I just jump taste.com.au and look for help. It has so many different ways to cook one dish, and you just pick up the ones you prefer, not just the only one written on your mum's book. The greatest point is, if I have a few ingrendiences in my fridge, and i have no idea what to do with them, I just search for the key words. Here we go, new ideas for dinner. Use the website all the time, can't have enough of it.
