This shop has a wide range of asian fresh produce and grocery items. There isn't much in the store that I use or even know HOW to use, but if you are an asian cook, I imagine you would love this shop.
I buy my kids 2 minutes in bulk from here and it works out much cheaper that at Woolworths (mind you my kids don;t like the cheaper noodles and only like 1 particular brand of noodles. Even when the Indomie Noodles are on special at Woolies, it works out cheaper from Top Supermarket).
I also buy a nice Chicken Marinade and use this for a quick and easy stirfry sauce.
Other than this, I only buy the Aloe Vera Drink... it is quite sweet and probably loaded with sugar, but I love it for a special treat.

I am a sucker for good bakery items. Whenever I'm in the area, I always pop in for a chocolate croissant or a jam ball donut. this bakery excels at both of these bakery items. The croissant has a nice balance of chocolate and light fluffy pastry (I always wish I had purchased another one, but that would be being piggish!!!)
The jam donut is also lovely - I find the donut is not too oily and is lovely and crisp.
Staff are friendly but not overly chatty.

We decided to give Belmont Cutz and Colour a try as they are very close in proximity to us and our regular barber is a bit if drive and we had been very busy.
We needed an appointment for our 3 sons and they were able to fit us in one after another on the afternoon we called them. This was great, as we were at the stage of getting the clippers out ourselves if we couldn't get them an appointment.
The cuts they gave my boys was not as nice as we normally get, but it certainly saved us the hassle of trying to fit in an appointment at our usual place. My boys were quite pleased and were happy ot have neat and tidy hair again.
I don't think we will go there regularly, but we know it will do if we are pushed for time again.

This new little pizza place is a must try. We had the Seafood Atlantis pizza; margarita pizza and Classic vego pizza. Yes, you can get cheaper pizza form the major chains with almost the same toppings, but this is a GOURMET pizza place.
What does this mean? I believe it means that care is taken in the dough making process. They produce a lovely dough and when compared the to the larger chain pizzas, their dough tastes like cardboard in comparison. Dough-licious start with a great base and add there toppings. Toppings are very generous and they awesome pizza combinations - there are so many other items that we want to try next time, like the smoked salmon past and the Thai delight salad.

Staff were lovely (we had takeaway so didn't really get to chat at length with them).
Regular pizzas from $11.09 and Large from $15.95. They also have gluten free pizzas from $17.95.

Approximate cost: $from $11.95

What a great little place. We didn't have a booking, but noticed that it was not very busy so decided to pop in for a light meal. (Every other time we have gone past, it has been overflowing with customers lining up on the footpath. We took this as a sign that the food must be good).
The atmosphere was wonderful with nice music playing in the background. My kids loved sitting looking around at all the ethnic decorations in the cafe while we waited for our food.
We only ordered some vegetarian nachos as we only had a little time to spare. But this came to the table quickly and was delicious. We shared a few plates of the nachos and wished we had ordered a plate each!!
We will be back for a more substantial meal. We loved it!!!

Absolutely fanstastic little business. This was my first year using this service. I simply logged in, selected my daughters school and the booklist came up. You could tick to select the whole bookpack for next year or you can go through each item and change the quantitiy of what YOU need.
I went through our "left over" books from this year and sorted out what I ACTUALLY needed for next year. This was sooo simple.
Delivery is free if you spend over $50 and is only $5.50 if you spend less than this.
What a great idea.... I wish I had know about this years ago....

My children have recently changed schools and hte school uses School Stuff for their school supplies. You can quickly and easily order your school book packs for the coming year ONLINE. I loved this because I'm a busy mum with 6 kids (5 school aged), so anything that makes ordering their school supplies easy, I'm all for it!!!
You can tick to order the whole pack or you can quickly go through the list and change the quantities of each item for the things that you need. I went through our "left overs" from this year before I ordered for next year as there is no need to buy more of things that you already have!!
This have definately been the easiest way for getting ready for next year.
The deliver was super fast and I spoke with the staff personally and they were fantastic. I'll be back....

Wriggle it is a cheaper alternative to other indoor play centre so for value for money, this is the place to go. I found it quite hot inside and my kids were very hot and sweaty after playing. (I suppose they keep it a bit hotter to have you buy more water). Plenty of climbing and sliding activities and a nice little area for any toddlers you may have.
Food and drinks were reasonably priced and my kids had a ball. A great place to spend an afternoon or morning on school holidays - will definately tire your kids out.
Staff were very nice and friendly. Party room was quite small, but I guess that doesn't matter as the kids will be in the play area for most of the time. Although when the food was brought out, it was quite uncomfotable for the kids (but maybe there were too many kids invited to the party we were at. My kids preferred to come and sit with me outside the party room, as they were already hot and bothered and didn;t want to be in a smallish space with so many other kids.

My kids have always had a blast when we go to Fun House. While it can get a little expensive (mind you, we have 6 kids, so EVERYTHING is expensive), it does keep the kids entertained for ages. My kids loved collecting the tickets and working out what to buy at the end of their time there. My older kids, worked out which games / machines were easy to play and therefore awarded them more tickets, thus allowing them to get a nice prize at the end.
We have been to Fun House as a family and also for a few parties.... my kids are always happy to go there and never want to leave.
A word of warning to other mums and dads, it can get a bit noisy in there, so take some panadol or ear plugs. But if you can switch off to the noise and ge tin and have fun with your kids, you will love it too.

The best lebanese food I have found outside of Sydney. I love Ala-din... the atmosphere is great (like you are in a Middle Eastern Cafe). Delicious fresh ingredients - everything is good on the menu!!!
