Attended for lunch. Rather typical cafe food. Vegetarian lasagne was interesting, but could have been more tasty. Kinda bland if you don't like to have it with the olives. Garlic herb bread was a bit too buttery and not garlicky enough. Soup of the day was tomato and kinda tasted like tomato paste, nothing too special. Blackberry cheesecake was served with a generous dollop of heavy cream, and fantastic, though there's no way I could have finished a slice.

Hot chocolate had a hint of cinnamon (or maybe it was just me?) and was served with two marshmallows, yum. Mocha was reported as being a bit too sweet by fellow eatmates, but I thought it was fine.

Overall filling, which is good. I felt it was kinda expensive though about average for cafe prices.

Approximate cost: $20

Pleasantly surprised. Went for the one-bedroom, which had a kitchenette and living room with huge flat-screen LCD TV. Very comfortable. Bus stop right nearby, restaurants downstairs.

Prices here were best I could find (generally), better than PawsForLife's auto-delivery 'discounted' prices. Certain items -are- more expensive (like Kiltix is $10-$12 elsewhere, $15 at Stefmar). Delivery was cheap at $5.50 even for a large 6+kg box. Packing was fast; ordered at 2pm on Thurs, dispatched at 3pm on the same day and already tracking at the courier.

Only thing is that the courier they used (Fastway) was somewhat disappointing. They say half day delivery in Sydney metro so I was hoping for a parcel on Friday, but it took until Monday. Otherwise no complaints, would definitely buy from these guys again. :)

Came to this place since our usual Peking duck haunt was full. They have the same dish with three courses at the bargain price of $45.80. Comes with 12 pancakes (pretty good), sang choy bao (also good), and your choice of duck and noodles or duck and snow peas. Might try the snow peas next time, since the noodles were pretty salty and oily. XD Nonetheless, rather tasty.

We also had a side of wo tie that was somewhat disappointing -- also very oily. (something like $6.80 for 6) Nonetheless, came out full and satisfied. Good enough. :)

They had a $8.90 special for udon and ramen. Seafood udon was nothing special, ramen came with either miso or tonkotsu base and was quite alright. Hoedupbap (salmon bibimbap) was quite generous, but could have used more sauce than the tiny dish they gave us. $12 main was generous. Overall good. Wouldn't mind trying the lunch special for the sushi train some time.

Despite 'Pho' being in this restaurant's name, it actually serves some unexpected items, as well as omitting others. Unexpected: Chinese dishes, thai-like chili basil stir fry, laksa. Not on menu: Vietnamese broken rice dishes, vermicelli dishes.

Hainanese chicken was surprisingly-good, though I missed having no black sauce or even light chicken gravy -- nonetheless, nice flavouring in the chicken rice, smooth boneless chicken thigh, nice generous portion of ginger shallot paste. Pho dac biet had flavoursome soup, could be more generous with the beef balls, tender and thinly-sliced beef pieces.

Overall a surprisingly good feed. Don't expect much from the ambience, though the service is mostly-friendly.

I love the peking duck here. Generous portions (though the cutting today was a bit uneven..:O), with nice, super-crispy skin. The peking duck order comes with enough for twelve pancakes, and includes either sangchoybao or duck noodles, both of which are sadly rather average. But the duck pancakes are yum. :)

Mermaid's tresses also well worth a try at only $9.80. Crispy deep fried Chinese cabbage (sounds weird, but it turns out like crunchy seaweed), topped with pork floss and cashews. Slightly sweet, bit too oily, and great with rice.

Wo tie disappointingly starchy, yang chun mian basically plain wanton noodles without wanton but still with the same soup.

Ambience average for normal Chinese restaurant with tablecloths. :)

Had a little bit of trouble finding this place since it says 'Bobby's Boss Dogs' and looks like a cheery hotdog place. Bouncer waves you through the door-disguised-as-a-vending-machine into a delightfully den-like place. Very comfortable, a little dim. I liked the ambience.

We attended on a Tuesday, lured by their dollar dogs. Four of the dogs on their extensive menu were available for a dollar each, limited to six per person. We had two each and it was enough. XD Buns were normal and a bit cold, but the hotdogs were superb for the value. The four available were:

Texas Redneck: could have been spicier. Enjoyed the bratwurst.
Frank Sinatra: Pickles and onion on a hotdog! How nice. :D I liked this one, though the pickles/onion ring on top made it a little iffy to eat. A little sour but mustard was not overwhelming at all. Yum.
Bobby's Bogan Dog: Surprisingly good, though the profusion of mashed peas raised an eyebrow. Moreish.
Buffalo Bill Chicken Dog: Tasted like not-fantastic baked beans. Didn't taste battered??

Overall a good experience, though I don't know if I would pay the full-priced $10 for any of those hotdogs..

Bought angkukueh today, $4.50 for two nice fat pieces. Not bad. Though I prefer peanut innards to the traditional mung bean paste which they had. XD

On a previous visit, had char kway teow. Not bad, had some wok hei and a few pieces of lup cheong (always makes me sad when places don't have the latter). Would like to try the chai tow kway here. :O Teh tarik was a bit small, in a takeaway clear plastic cup, and fairly standard.

Approximate cost: $11

I love this place. Nice ambience (little enclosed alcoves for dining area, clean and modern), and it's one of only two places I know in Sydney that use the Joysound system, so if you're into singing Japanese songs, you can look up the numbers of songs to order beforehand on the Joysound website (http://joysound.com/ex/index.htm). If you don't know Japanese, though, you might have a little trouble using their Joysound system. I'm not sure if there're rooms using other systems cos I always ask for it.. ^^"

I usually do the lunch special when I go -- 11.30-5.30pm, spend $20 minimum on food/bev and get two hours' karaoke free. Do note that if you go later in the afternoon, though, their lunch menu expires and the tea menu is a bit more izakaya-like. They used to have generous lunch sets but not the last time I was there. :( Still other nice things for lunch, though.

Their sukiyaki, superb. Shabushabu, meh. And if you're just passing by in the afternoon, stop by and spend $1 for a green tea soft serve. :) Yum.
