This review is for Luna Park Sydney, Milsons Point NSW

verified email - 27 Sep 2012

Used to come here with friends and family, yet I tend to find that the kids enjoy the theme park more than adults would. The rides are very friendly based for kids. They don't have much variety in rides but they do have great tourist attractions/sight seeings and a simple path to walk on. But, I feel that Luna Park should reduce the price of the tickets, as I feel the value for money was poor. Not only that, prices of the foods are quite expensive. Better in night, while the lights give another attraction. I recommend bringing your own food and to bring your kiddies here!

Approximate cost: $$

This review is for Village Hotel, Mount Druitt NSW

This place is absolutely worth the DOSH!

Cook your own 7$ 300g steak on ONLY Sunday - Thursday.. Which gives you the range of 4 days to choose from! Once the rump is cooked to your liking, then you're up for self-served sides which come into a range of hot chips, peas and corn, 4 types of sauces, salads, pasta and coleslaws.

I come here with a few friends and each of them are always keen to have another steak the next day. The atmosphere is also relaxing as it gives an indoor and outside modern look. Though, if you bring kids, they have to be supervised as it is still a hotel.

Definitely give it a go for a 7$ steak, whether your in the area or not, in my experience it'll be worth it (:

This review is for Pho Pasteur, Blacktown NSW

verified email - 27 Sep 2012

Top of Westpoint Blacktown, not the best Pho I've had, but its great to come with friends since its quite flexible in times. I had the friend rice and pork combo, which is always amazing. I found that the service was okay and food comes individually. Like any pho restaurant, there are a variety of foods which are all priced average (10$-15$).

Approximate cost: $10+

This review is for Basil & Lime, Mount Druitt NSW

Another favorite thai eatery!

Has to be one of the very few places to eat Laksa's during any type of weather. The shop does not look that appealing while in Westfield, though there tends to be a popular demand any time of the day.

Great range on the menu are from 9$-15$ and taste simply great. If your around the area looking for Thai food, I recommend a dish of Laksa!

This review is for Silver Spurs Steak Ranch, Penrith NSW

All I can say, this place has to be my favorite place so far for the most AMAZING RIBS!

I've been here a few times now and every time, I have not changed my decision on a full rack of ribs :D. Though, in the years of the price of the ribs has increased incredibly, I still find myself buying without a doubt. The full ribs now come to 46$ with 2 racks of either pork or beefs and a side of chips or potato w/ sour cream and grilled onions.

The other food in the menu look appealing yet, expensive. Like any other steakhouse, they have a wide variety of salads, burgers and kids foods which also is tasty, and served with a generous amount.

With large bookings/people, I tend to find service harder for them to be available. Yet again, they also have a kids area for kids while food is being prepared.

I would recommend trying this place for the ribs :D !

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for La Cita, Sydney NSW

The food here was good. I bought a variety of food with a 'Scoopon Voucher'.

It consisted 10 different finger foods on 2 plates and a free bottle of wine/sangria for $35 for 2 people. The food itself varies from garlic prawns, salads, grilled calamari and skewers.
The service was great, after 1 plate was finished, the waiter would bring in the next and they're always looking around for help from customers. It also has a nice environment to bring friends, its just in front of the wharf with outside seating and heaters too.

I thought the experience was great, I'm not too sure how the rest of the menu is, but give it a go!

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for El Jannah Charcoal Chicken & Lebanese Cuisine, Granville NSW

Ive always wanted to know what the fuss about this business was.

If your a fan of chicken.. and garlic sauce.. This business is your type.

The service is really reallly quick, I think I waited about 2-3mins and the chicken was served with the sides.
Ordered a simple 1/2 sized chicken and sides. The sides came with shallots, pickles, lebanese bread and a tub of garlic sauce. A simple traditional cuisine worth to try!
Don't forget about the chips; they are just amazing as the chicken! And the garlic sauce.... All I could think about was coming back with extra money for it!

Give it a go!

This review is for Costco Wholesale Australia, Lidcombe NSW

verified email - 21 Sep 2012

Shocking experience as a first time user at Costco membership warehouse.

A $60 membership card for 1 year allows you to purchase goods.
The warehouse is divided into aisles which is unmarked so you'd be spending time looking for groceries. Though there are a few staff around with highlighted vests to ask.

Generally, the prices are more expensive, but the products your buying is in bulk. Also most items are USA products.

If you dont like products that you have bought, you have a guaranteed refundable purchase that is IF you are still an existing member. - (which I find really amazing that I could buy all my electronics and still refund it after months of purchase.)

Great food, American sized pizza's for 3$ or wholes for 15$, bottomless drinks and hotdogs!

Great customer service, I had a few workers helping me out with my TV, very friendly, respectful and professional.

Great experience, give it a go!

Approximate cost: $200$

This review is for Big Chief Burgers, Rooty Hill NSW

verified email - 21 Sep 2012

This place is amazing, I live right near the corner and whenever I could, I'd definitely buy the classic burger which is $5.20 and comes with a drink.
Prices may have increased; the burgers are still great taste which allow me to come back without a hassle.
Give it a go!

Approximate cost: $4-5
