Great value Internet and mobile. I was with TPG ADSL2 since 2009 and happy with them with no issues so far. It connection slows down dramatically when we reached the free download limit. I also had a mobile with them for last 3 years - $15 per month including $300 worth of calls and SMS - the best value in town.

Approximate cost: $40 per month internet

Brought my daughter for her first hair cut, but not worth $17 for a 5 mins child straight hair cut - even I can do it myself. The hairdresser did not bother to put her hair back in ponytail afterwards. They were gentle with her, so her experience was not bad - but bad for my wallet.

Finding a good hairdresser is no easier task than finding a life partner - both need to be brave, try and risk.
I went Mint Hair because my colleague recommended it. She must be the trainee hairdresser. She seemed to listen what I want for my hair cut, but I don't think she fully understood what my needs were. Half way thru, I reminded her of what I wanted and what she was doing was not heading towards it. She still pretended that she understood and hoped that it will end up alright. I totally hated the end result and was unhappy about she not listening to my needs. The owner/head designer tried to fix it for me, I had to go back for a 2nd cut at their cost. It was better than before but still far from what I had in my mind. Very disappointed.

Approximate cost: $50

I enjoyed doing mystery shopping for about 2 yrs. i used to signed up for a few different companies back 6 yrs ago. There was a better company called Hoed, not sure they still exist. I used to choose parramatta and Macquarie park area, so there were plenty of work. Some weeks I had more than 3 assignments, each paid between $20 to $40 depending on the complexity of the job. Bt you need to jump online and grab the job fast because there were other mystery shoppers in the same area, first in first served. It was fun and great to have some extra money.

Went there just for Yum Cha and they never disappointed us. The quality of food has been consistently well. The service can be sometimes slow as they are extremely busy during lunch.

Amazing Italian food, woodfire pizzas and welcoming ambiance. It's one of my favourite place in Parramatta. Went there many times and the quality has been consistent.

The food is great with generous portion. Belly dancers on Friday and Saturday nights are great entertaining. The price is high for Lebanese cuisine. But it is fun and something different. If you love meat, you will be quite happy with their food. They do catering too.

Approximate cost: $30 to 40

A great place for small function. The outside green is perfect for a pre function drink while watching the sunset on Parramatta river. The food and service were good too.

This place has all things organic from food, supplements, personal care to clothes, essential oils etc. It is not flash but earthy, green and humble. The staff are really friendly and know regular customers by names.

This place is huge. Most kids love it, but it could be overwhelming for some kids too. They provide great service for after school hour care which they pick up kids from surrounding schools. For certain age group, you can drop off and pick up later, so you are able to do some shopping at the Westfield.
