Yellow thai curry with tofu and vegetables. Every time. Add a large coconut rice and you can get two nights dinners out it. Generally we go here about once every 6 weeks. It's the only takeaway that doesn't give hubby heartburn. Even better the next night. We actually put away $10 a week to save for it. Our entire order is ready in 10/15 minutes.

Approximate cost: $60

Great play area for kids, free re-fills of soft drink, food is cheaper/better deals than mcdonalds. Very clean. We go here at least once a week so my daughter can expel some of her energy.

Approximate cost: $3.95-6.00

Near impossible to find a great doctor that bulk bills. But we use Vincent Cheng at Grand Plaza medical centre. I'ts right behind Grand Plaza shopping centre. So it's very convenient to do shopping afterwards.

Approximate cost: $n/a

We went here as a birthday treat. It used to have a rough name for itself. But all that's changed. The restaurant has a kids play area, and kids eat free on Wed nights. Good to find a chef who knows what medium-rare is. Close to our home so we can walk there and back without any dramas.

Approximate cost: $18-30

Always good. We get all of our birthday cakes etc made here. They don't have that artificial taste to them that supermarket ones do. Husband loved the mud cake with spider man on top for his birthday.
