Da Uday was a surprisingly good experience. The breadth of the medu at the restaurant has to be seen to be believed and even with such a menu, the food was terrific. Da Uday has a family home sort of feel and the waitress that served us was very pleasant. Da Uday was a great place to eat. I highly recommend it.

It is refreshing to say i had a good experience with Shell Auto-Serv. They were cheaper than going to my manufacturer and easy to deal with.

My experience with TPG has been mixed. They offer fantastic internet plans and their service has been almost perfect. Their customer service is quite ordinary and it took me a lot of blood sweat and tears to get the internet (wireless in my case) connected. You would want a good deal of patience dealing with the call centre in india.

I bought a mobile phone from Chad at Stud Park Telstra. He was really great working through the options of what would suit my needs. He deals a lot with business customers and really knows how it all works - and from my experience that is a big deal when it comes to negotiating through Telstra's products!

I bought some cardio equipment from Olympic Fitness and i was really happy with them The staff member was very knowledgeable and helpful and he was only too happy to spend time working through what i wanted. The equipment was very well priced and has been really great ever since. I highly recommend them.

I recently went snowboarding at Mount Buller and stopped at Pullins Ski Hire on the way to hire clothing and the board. The staff at the store were really great assisting me with clothing and board size and even giving me some tips and tricks about how to board (as it was my first time). The store wasn't busy as they often are on the mountain. It was a very seamless process.

Natalie's has consistently been a great place for a nice dinner. The atmosphere is really good (particularly if you go there for dinner on a Friday or Saturday night where a pianist plays). The food is of great quality and the staff are very attentive and polite. I hihgly recommend Natalies.

The few times i've been to Flakey Jakes, the food has been great - not as oily and gross as a lot of fish and chips are. Pity though that the staff are a bit rude and disinterested.

BSA Partnership and in particular Mellisa Grant do a great job of assisting me with my personal and business finances including tax returns. The business is large enough that they have their finger on the pulse but small enough that they offer a quality personal service. Melissa has been great, offering friendly, helpful and practical advice and i would recommend her and BSA Partnership to anyone.

The Crown Conservatory was a fabulous place to have breakfast. A full buffet for around $33 gave you a myriad of culinary options such as cereals, breads, pastries, fruit, cooked pancakes, eggs, bacon, mushrooms - you name it, it was there. The view looking out to the Yarra River was equally as great. Highly recommend it.

Approximate cost: $33
