I definitely had the best haircut ever, or at least for a very long time. My hairdresser knew how to achieve the style I was after and was happy to make adjustments as I requested, and it was all done quite quickly. I also took advantage of their website offer of a $20 discount so it ended up costing only $30.

Seems to be an authentic Indonesian restaurant as it seems to attractive a lot of Indonesians. I thought the food was satisfactory but it's better to select from the menu rather than the food in the bar, which seems to not keep the food very warm. I had a yellow rice with two sides costing $9.50, and a soup ($10) from the menu which had a very unique and tasty combination of ingredients and flavours.

A small takeaway store with limited seating and a relatively limited menu. The quality of the snacks in the heated bar seems to vary slightly from day to day, but this is a very good shop for a nice snack or light meal.

This review is for K1 Dental, Toorak VIC

Very professional and large team of dentists and hygienists. I found my dentist and dental assistant to be very caring and friendly. The checkup costs $95 and includes a very thorough examination and analysis of teeth. There is a free follow up consultation where the health of every tooth and treatment options are explained in great detail.

This review is for Ultimate One Hair & Beauty Unisex Salon, Ormond VIC

This salon seemed like a well-equipped professional budget salon, and the staff were certainly very friendly. But I wasn't satisfied with my haircut there. The hairdresser I had quite obviously showed a lack of knowledge and confidence in styling men's hair even though I only needed a basic style. I thought she took a long time and still couldn't get it right.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Laurent Bakery, Melbourne VIC

I liked the outside seating in the beautiful lane way. The bakery seems to have authentic features of a French bakery, including a snobbish French waitress. My favourite thing is the a a latte served in a large bowl into which you can dip a whole croissant.

This review is for Rice Paper Vietnamese Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

Not all the food I had was that special, but the meal, which included a main dish for me and a vegetarian coleslaw shared between two of us, was very satisfying. The Hue beef soup was okay, but I really liked the salad which was full of different textures, colours, and tastes. The soup cost $9.50 and coleslaw $10. A nice touch were the large flower shaped wall lights near the door, which provided shelter for one or two sparrows which flew in and out of the cafe now and again.

This review is for Bali Bagus, Melbourne VIC

The owner seemed to have made an good effort to give the restaurant an Indonesian look in terms of style of furniture and paintings on the walls. Cheaper than other budget cafes (under $9 per main meal), the food was okay but the service was a bit incompetent today. The ribs we had included generous sized portions of meat with a tasty sauce but the chicken soup was very ordinary and bland, containing a couple of strands of chicken and a few old pieces of vegetables.

This review is for New Royal Garden Restaurant, Glen Waverley VIC

I found it to be a more typical suburban Chinese restaurant than usual, in terms of presentation of the surroundings and tables, taste of the food, and friendliness of staff, which were all good but not very exciting. We had a medium large lobster and a beef with vegetables at a cost of about $200 but paid about $148 because it was paid in cash. The amount of meat on the lobster pieces was not that generous and the food was not as warm as it should have been.

This review is for Brunetti Classico, Carlton VIC

I found the professional manner and appearance of the staff behind the counter very pleasing, though I thought service was somewhat slower than necessary at times. The luxurious surroundings and the seating arrangement were very relaxing. I thought the cake I ordered, a Rum Baba Crema, was very good value at $4.90 for such a premium quality both of the product itself and the tableware it was served on.
