This review is for Hyde Park Medical Center, Sydney NSW

verified email - 24 Mar 2015

I was here in January, finding a GP in the CBD was way harder than I would have thought, who knows that when you have fever and ring up GPs they actually ask you to come back 2 days later?!?
Great I bumped into this Medical Center, they allow all forms of walk in , but with no bulk bill - who would care about that when you are having 39 degrees fever and 3 times record of fits, right?
Anyway, I went there, sat down and was told someone cancelled their appointment. The reception allowed me to take the appointment , FOC, without even me asking (I was probably too sick to do so anyway) This really left a deep impression on me and I would like to share with the rest here.

The doctor I saw was a young lady though, so confirming the other reviews about the doctors being young, but she was really patient with me and well all in all this whole experience was really pleasant, and I really want to share with the rest - you know where to go, if you have a problem with CBD GPs being booked out!

This review is for Sticker Label Shop, Sydney NSW

Was looking to print a batch of stickers for my girlfriend's little venture of cake making. There were not many on the market who do not wish to have consumers print at least 1000 pieces, so we were really glad to have found them.
What's more, the guy on the phone told me they have no minimum quantity and 24 hours lead time, and even offered to print free sample for me to see, IF I can drop by his office... I was hesitant but I couldn't find better options, so took an hour earlier off work to visit them. When I came he already prepared some printouts and asked me how big is the cake box and what material and went into a lot of details, wow, and my order was only 50 pieces of stickers. I feel so special immediately after talking to the guy in person.
Was asked to pay first by bank transfer, which is a bit of pain since I prefer credit cards, but nevertheless... true enough within 24 hours, we received another email saying we can collect our stickers now. GF and I both loved the stickers so much, and our customers were even really impressed with how beautiful our cake boxes looked! Would come back for more prints if these cakes sell well, that is for sure

Despite the wide range of products they offer, the only cake I ate here were the infamous watermelon cake, which is in one word. Awesome. Loved it so much that I could not try other products. Well I did once actually - the fig orange cake, which is tasty in its own rights but pales in comparison to the star product.
One thing though, the customer service is not as good and few times I been there they were just seemingly taking their own sweet time to serve.

Not a bad salon at all. Been frequenting them as much as once every 3 months, to get a style in place. Their service is really attentive but sometimes, depending on luck, you get people whose taste do not suit your own as much. I once had a "square" haircut and the hairdresser was like "it's trendy now" I wouldn't need that, to pay $40 , but hey, most of the time my experience with this salon is fab.

One of the largest stores of Office works in the city, huge variety and the shop is massive.
Usually able to find the best bargain here compared to other shops , for electronics and stationeries.

We had a reservation and came in very surprised with the grand and huge sittings. A little noisy, but excellent customer service and very friendly staff. I would give 10 stars if possible, greatly recommended, one of the best dishes include the duck red curry, and prawn on leaves!

I've been for Yum Cha 5 years now. Perhaps it's because I'm chinese and I know what I want, am always greeted by the staff with smiles. Love the salt and pepper calamari, beef balls, coconut red bean pudding and egg tarts
There is always a queue but the thing (we only go at night or weekend lunch time) is, most I have ever waited was for 5-10 minutes. That is quite a feat in itself.
Because I love coming here so much I would highly recommend this restaurant :)

Depends on what you are after , quality food then yes I love this place so much!
Though things are a little on the higher end of the scale, it belong to the case where people say "every penny is worth it". Me and my partner love coming here every month or so. We would order a few dishes and their "Dan Dan noodle" , one of our favourites
The service though, is naturally not as attentive. They do have a lot of staff mind you, but a lot of customers as well. so ....

Approximate cost: $40
