This review is for Cafe Borellas, Albury NSW

Probably the best cafe in Albury/Wodonga. They do terrific breakfast and lunch, and there's free wi-fi too which makes it an excellent way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning.
Really nice atmosphere as well - Seating is separated by different rooms and outdoor areas so it never feels cramped.
They also have fantastic cakes and even better they promote local produce like sodas and salad dressings.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Rivers Garden Centre and Cafe, Yarrambat VIC

It has everything here. A short drive from Greensborough and you're in peaceful country side. Rivers has a beautifully laid out nursery and gift shop, restaurant with delicious home-made food. There's also a wellness centre there now with a salon and beauty parlour, gym and day spa.

Approximate cost: $25

There are so many good things about this restaurant. The restaurant itself is much larger than you'd anticipate - it's decorated beautifully with paintings and lanterns, the room has plenty of natural light as well so it has real warmth about it.

The tables are set up in sort of a spiral across the room, so you're sitting next to other people (but it doesn't feel like a school camp which is good), along with a few smaller tables if you want a more private meal.

It was my birthday so the waiter brought me a 'mocktail' so it was a great start to an absolutely amazing meal. There were 6 of us, so we shared a banquet of three dishes plus betel leaves to start (you have to try a betel leaf). I would recommend the slow roasted lamb, yellow curry and pork belly.

Looking forward to going there again soon!

Approximate cost: $30

As far as restaurants go in China town - this one is always a favourite on our Friday work lunch list... The satays are without a doubt the best I've ever had!

This review is for Connex, Melbourne VIC

Like many others I use Connex every weekday to work in the city. There's not a lot of choice for commuters and there always seems to be some disruption/cancellation/problem with the computer system, the loud speaker, etc.

If there's one constructive comment I'll make - they need more security at stations and on trains. There are so many seedy people and young thugs wrecking the place and making people (expecially women) feel very unsafe.

A few more services would be good too, with more train lines... I don't ask much I know :)

One thing you can count on though - The ticket inspectors!

This review is for Grill'd, Doncaster VIC

A fantastic franchise!
The burgers are top quality and they taste absolutely amazing. There are few places in food courts that offer healthier choices that actually taste awesome but this place nails it.
I loved the baa baa burger but the chicken ones are great too. They offer vegetarian as well. Plus they have chips and even they taste healthy (whether they are or not).
Everything was fresh and the staff were friendly (and even they looked healthy)
A good take-out choice for the health conscious.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Chocolateria San Churro, St Kilda VIC

I had never tried Spanish doughnuts before - These are amazing!
The shop has all sorts of chocolate treats but the dough-nuts are just incredible.
Acland street is always a great place to be and this place is the perfect way to end a great night out with friends.
highly recommend you try these - unless you're on a diet!

This review is for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Melbourne VIC

The best doughnuts in the universe. You have to try them if you haven't already.
I was so excited when they came to Victoria, even more excited when they opened new stores in Melbourne Central and Collins Street.
If you can't eat all of them in one day (by some miracle), 8 seconds in the microwave and they are so good, it's just ridiculous.

This review is for Citibank, Sydney NSW

verified email - 26 Aug 2009

I have a personal credit card with Citibank - They are pretty good and understanding if you have a late payment or you need to work something out with them.
Applying was easy and quick as well.
The staff are very friendly.
The interest rate is one of the best I've seen and I'm never surprised at the interest on my bill each month like I have been in the past. It's really very reasonable.

This review is for Westpac Banking Corporation, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 26 Aug 2009

I'm still with Westpac but I'm thinking of changing in the near future. I use Collin st for any teller banking I do and they are always very friendly and efficient.
They do however charge exorbitant fees especially on their credit cards, they put a block on my card when I was overseas without letting me know because I had transacted a large amount (when I told them I was going overseas before I left, the teller just shrugged and did nothing). I had to ring them which cost me a fortune just to get my card re-activated which was annoying.
