I love, love, love this place!

I have to stop myself from having lunch there sometimes so that I don't seem so needy.

Their bacon and egg muffins are amazing. Their service is amazing. I know these guys by their first names because I go in so much (Sam is the owner and Frank is the son).

For lunch, they have everything from wraps to home made pizza and pasta, salads to schnitzels. The works.

They take efpos even if it is a little under $10 and they have great coffee!

They have a lunch deal which basically means that most things come with a free drink. This place is a bargain and the busy lunch rush speaks volumes of how well this place is rated amongst the locals.

If you've not discovered this place on your lunch breaks, have a look. Tell Sam I said hi :)

Discovered this place through colleagues and thought I'd give it a go.

Food is quite tasty and relatively cheap for the serving size. I usually get chicken skewers and they are lovely.

Recommend against getting "Prawn" because they are tiny shrimp things and you get 3....I repeat 3 on a skewer. Better off with either Chicken or Beef. Good stuff if you love Satay.

For anyone who appreciates that Indian food can be bother delicious and very cheap, if you are in the Clayton area, or even a 10 - 15 minute drive away, coming here will not only put a smile on your face but your wallet will also thank you.

My husband had this place recommended to him by his Indian co-worker, and so we gave it a go last week at dinner on a weeknight.

First of all, the place is nothing fancy, but good food doesn't have to always come in fancy packaging.
We were told to sit anywhere we liked as there were few people there at 6pm when we got in.

We ordered our usual Indian favourites:
Whole Tandoori chicken (which came out on a sizzle plate looking fantastic and tasting equally so).
Butter Chicken (which arrived in a cute little cauldron with a tea light candle beneath it to keep it hot)
2 x Naan breads (which were light, fresh with just the right amount of crunch)
and Rice, which was just plain rice and did the job.

Overall, this mean was a steal. We ordered two drinks in addition to the above and had lots of food left over and the bill came to $35. That is the amount we usually spend on ONE meal at most other places we tend to eat.

I think coming here with a group of 4 or 6 would be good too, and would reduce the price even more.

We will definitely be coming back here. Cheap, tasty and very close to the Clayton train station.

I have been getting IPL treatments from this place since the middle of last year and have to say that when they say it is painless, they are not exaggerating.

I went in expecting some sort of pain, or discomfort and the technology used in their new machines really only just flashes light onto your skin and does not leave any sort of evidence that you even had anything done.

The shop itself if a little stark as there is only the one treatment room, one staff member and the waiting area, however it does the job.

The lady running the show is lovely and she explains everything quite simply too, which is good for people like me who had no idea how it actually works.

Prices are good considering it effectively stops your hair from regrowing ever.

I will recommend this place to anyone interested in IPL.

This review is for Eastern Palace Chinese Restaurant, Rowville VIC

We had my husbands work function here yesterday to help celebrate Chinese New Year.

There was a special banquet menu designed for the evening which had all sorts of things I would normally never order when dining at a Chinese restaurant.

They had plenty of staff on, but the place did not even nearly get full for the whole time we were there, and it was a Friday night, so we were all surprised.

The banquet offered lots of different dishes, including, but not limited to Jelly fish, sea cucumber and peking duck. I'm a very fussy eater, so I stayed clear of everything that wasn't pork, chicken or "normal" seafood. Having said that, everyone else on the table who were more adventurous seemed to enjoy it.

Overall, I cannot say this was the best food though, even with the things I did eat, it was average. I think I will need to go back and try a "normal" banquet to get a better feel for it, but as a warning to anyone who isn't into "weird" sorts of food, avoid the Chinese New Year one for around this time next year.

This review is for Vulcano Gelato, Rye VIC

This is one of my all time favourite Gelati places.

Since this place opened, I have lost count of how many trips I have taken to get a home made gelato from Vulcano.

My husband and I learned from the owners that the reason they are only open 6 months of the year is because they have a sister store on the Sicilian island of Vulcano off the Aeolian Islands that they work in for the Italian summer.

They make all their own flavours and it is truly an authentic gelati experience, which is extremely close to what you would get if you were in fact eating one in Italy.

My favourite flavours are lemon and chocolate together, but they make new ones all the time. I had an amazing banana one last time and it was sensational.

There are quite a few gelati places kicking around Rye, but this one tops the charts for me.

This review is for Brady Road Hot Bread Kitchen, Dandenong North VIC

For anyone who knows what Pasta Dura bread is, look no further than this place if you want some premium quality Italian bread.

This place has won awards for its delicious breads and cakes, and it is easy to see why.

This place is always super busy and on a Saturday morning you need to get in early for the Pasta Dura loaves because they sell out by about 11am. Their croissants are also quite delish and there are all sorts of other great baker treats that I haven't sampled because I just know I will become addicted.

For anyone in the Dandenong area, this bread is lovely and worth the early morning drive to get it.

This review is for Brady Road Pizza, Dandenong North VIC

Want good, cheap pizza? This is the place!

We drive past this place all the time, so it was only natural we would give it a try at one stage. We did, thanks to their tantalizingly cheap $7.90 large pizza's on Mon, Tues and Wed. To be honest, I wasn't expecting them to be great for that prize, just edible. I was mistaken.

The staff in their are friendly and they don't charge you to change or add toppings! This has to be the only place I know of that has this rule.

The pizza's have a nice medium sized crust and the base is just right. Not too crispy, not too soft.

I would recommend this place to anyone who lives with the Dandenong area, as these guys have the taste, yet also the price right.

If you are a fan of chicken wings, I recommend you try their bbq wings too. You'll love it.

This review is for Endota Spa, Fingal VIC

This is my all-time favourite place to come and pamper myself.

I've been coming to Endota Spa at Moonah Links since 2005 and rate the location, staff and services above any other Day Spa experiences I have had anywhere else.

From the minute you step through the door, your stress seems to dilute and you are left soaking up the soothing smells, sounds and atmosphere that is this nestled little retreat.

Staff are professional, soft spoken and all seem to have magic fingers. You are offered a tea or water upon arrival and encouraged to sit, relax and unwind when you wait for your treatment. In such a gorgeous location, it is quite difficult to not relax when you arrive.

Each and every massage I have had at this place has been heaven and leave me feeling like I am floating in a cloud. Their product range is fantastic and the genuine care the staff really does go above and beyond.

Cannot rate this establishment highly enough. I am Endota's biggest fan.

This review is for ISHKA, Cheltenham VIC

I stopped into Ishka today as the generally vibrant allure of all their beautiful things got the better of me.

I was thrilled to see that most things in the store were 50% off for holders of a "Karma card" which is Ishka's loyalty card. If you did not have one, they signed you up straight away so that you could take advantage of the discount. I thought this was a fantastic way of getting new members and also great customer service.

I purchase a large gorgeous pillow which was originally $64, and with my discount I left the store only paying $32 for something I could certainly not find easily somewhere else.

I can't tell you how much I love this place, but today's service at the Southland shop really made me love it more.

Ishka, I'm a big fan.
