Had my first meal in Melbourne here in this restaurant.

From my memories the price wasn't exactly cheap for the quality or the serving (don't get me wrong food isn't bad). I've dined here probably 3 or 4 times ever since then.

I wouldn't recommend getting any entrées from this place. had spring rolls once, regretted badly.

They offer tables outside, which can get a bit busy (path is narrow to begin with, then add all the population that travel through BH Metro, you have a disaster).

Service was quite alright. I remember tipping a few times, I only tip when I'm happy with the service.

Food is about average, what you'd expect from a Chinese store. I didn't really like their BBQ menu. Felt a bit dry, and little too much flavouring perhaps. My friends who has never tried BBQ pork was quite disappointed with it, but I don't think the place did BBQ pork any justice.

One thing I think they could improve on is 'electronic payment' Last time I visited this place was in 2011, back then they refused any other payment methods but cash, hence the docking of stars. I'm not sure if that has changed.

I wouldn't be able to live without paypal. enough said... jks.

Okay now paypal service should be something that everyone is familiar with nowadays. It's pretty much a must in 'safe on line' shopping experience.

Note of caution on their conversion ratio, they're usually a little nerfed compared to the major banks ratio. It helps you to have money x-fered in say another currency like US dollars if you feel that Aus dollar is going to go down in value in foreseeable future.

Some times very rarely, i've had refunds, where the amount I got back was considerably less than the amount I paid for due to the conversion ratio. It starts to make a difference at around 300 dollars and up.

This review is for Lindfield Bookshop & Children's Bookshop, Lindfield NSW

Now this neat looking book shop isn't exactly my favourite shop. However, the staff are helpful, they seem to know about what they're selling much more than I do (even though I'm not too much of a reader).

Great range of books for kids. Might be an excellent idea for gifts for children. some books just look really nice. Donno about the inside but it would sure seem impressive to gift some of the books on display.

Fresh and high quality ingredients. Great tasting food. Still good when you take em away. Cosy interior. Decent service.

I docked 1 star because they always put fish sauce when one of my friend asks them for a strict vegetarian dish.

Online book store which offers free shipping!

I've shopped around but these guys have the lowest price all around. Every now and then other places can beat these guys by a dollar or two but this is rare and only during some sort of a promotion. (and even so, others charge for shipping)

However you can't get in contact with them by phone. A great way to reduce the cost in my opinion. Books sometimes take a little while to get here, as most books come from over seas.

You can't go wrong with these guys. Visit the store you won't regret it.

WOW- Absolutely AMAZING.

Myself and my brother found this little warehouse/store on the net, paid them a visit last week.

Ran by a lovely couple (I'm not sure if they're a couple, may be they're just a couple of lovely people). They were super helpful in choosing our shoes and in no way they were intrusive.

We picked up a reebok and an adidas, at $50 EACH
I mean they would have costed us all up anywhere between 200~250 for the two.

Their price is already low, but they're trying to liquidate A LOT of their current stock to clear the physical store to be an 'on line only' business.

When I asked they would be there physically until the end of May, other wise visit their website for great deals.

They have greater number and variety of stocks for females, so ladies, get shopping!

This review is for Love To Celebrate, Roseville NSW

This lovely place is located not so far from the Roseville station.

From the first sight you can't help but to admire the happy go lucky interior. May be it's just the balloons, I'm not too sure but it really gets me in a party mood.

They offer great variety of party supplies, from balloons to party hats, to cards etc.

I've only happen to pick up a card from here (last min kinda thing) but from what I've seen the service is definitely there.

This can be your one stop shopping experience for your party needs! Do pay them a visit.

This review is for Bluefin Sushi, Chatswood NSW

They use fresh ingredients for sure. Food taste good, but nothing to write home about.

Nothing too special about the interior, don't really like the tables and the seats, but that could just be me, I find them uncomfortable.

I often find myself dining here last min before the movies. Perhaps this could be the reason why I have not yet to have an outstanding experience with them.

At any rate, it's not a bad place to pick and choose your sushi. Give them a go!

This review is for Sushi Train, Chatswood NSW

I really like this place.
Staff genuinely care about you.

Last time I ordered a few party platters, they informed me how soon it should be consumed, asked me if I was driving, how far the travelling distance is etc.

Just to make sure that the food stays fresh so we won't get sick off it.

I mean I could write about their awesome sushi (although I had better) but I'd rather talk about how good the service is there. Some dishes can be a bit hard on your wallet so do refer to the colour coded pricing thingy.

Be aware, sushi taste awesome you won't know how many dishes you picked up off the train, your wallet may be in danger.
