This review is for Silver Chopsticks Chinese Restaurant, Werribee VIC

verified email - 08 Apr 2012

Chinese & Malaysian food. Open 7 days and for lunch. Always nice for eat in or take away. Eat in service is always excellent and almost always prompt. You even get a platter of orange slices to finish off the meal and lovely hot towels to freshen up with. Take away can get a little busy, usually on the weekends at peak times and there is only a tiny waiting area for pick up. Food is always fresh and beautifully prepared.

Approximate cost: $11.00

This review is for Bucks Cafe, Camperdown VIC

Large Cafe right on the main street. Lovely large selection of foods - some quite new and different. (smoked cod and sweet potato pie). Foods we tried were fresh and REALLY nice!! Went there twice - the first time we got a young person serving us that didn't really know how to smile but the second time, service was excellent!! Nice seating in a courtyard with some lovely Blues music being played. Prices were pretty standard but the quality and range of food really was very good!! Toilets were clean and tidy!!

This review is for Lake Purrumbete Caravan Park, Camperdown VIC

Lovely smaller caravan park right on Lake Purrumbete. The fishing is advertised as being great but it wasn't mentioned that you really needed a boat to do any!! The facilities are a bit old but are maintained quite well. We stayed in a tent in one of the two camping sites within the caravan park. It ended up being a bit crowded but it was the Easter weekend so knew that it would be busy. Nice location - away from everything yet quite easy to get into the car and go looking around at neighbouring towns. Really a park for those that love fishing and have a boat! Did see some nice fish being brought back!! Was $10 per night per adult and $6.50 for a 10 year old for un powered camping site.

Smaller company that seems to focus on service. Excellent advice from seemingly very experienced staff. Was very punctual when coming out for a quote. Price is a little on the high side but you are definately paying for quality products.

This review is for Micro Television Service, Newport VIC

The shop isn't much to look at but the service is good. Will give you honest and good advice as to whether the tv is worth fixing or not. Service can be a bit lengthy (if busy). Price is reasonable.

This review is for Filigree Jewellers, Williamstown VIC

One of the oldest shops in Williamstown so it must be doing something right!! Not a huge shop and has a limited variety, but the pieces are special. Prices tend to be on the higher side but you are paying for quality and something that is a bit unique. Had to have a bracelet fixed there recently and was given a quote and excellent service. Repairs were carried out in good time and seemed to be of excellent quality.

This review is for Hobsons Bay Osteopathy, Williamstown VIC

Was very unsure when I first attended but was put at ease very quickly. Was told in advance what to expect. Was consulted very regularly to ensure that I was comfortable with the treatment. Treatment plans are suggested but they are not pushy in booking follow up treatments. Price was reasonable in comparison to other clinics I investigated.

This review is for Newport Lakes Native Nursery, Newport NSW

This is not a huge Nursery but if you are after natives, its definately the place to go! The sales staff are extremely knowledgable and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the plants are in excellent condition. Not only are the staff there to help at point of purchase but they are also helpful when it comes to after sales advice!

This review is for Nappy Land, Noble Park VIC

They did have a good range of nappies available. Prices weren't that cheap for the common, well-known brands. Salesperson was quite pushy in trying to get me to buy the cheaper nappies that were considered just as good as the brand that I was after. Won't go back there - will just wait for nappies that go on sale at the regular shops and stock up then.

This review is for Back to Basics, Williamstown VIC

Huge range of natural products. Price is quite reasonable and various sizes of all products makes if very affordable. Huge range of books also available. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Give yourself plenty of time if you are browsing as it shop is quite large and it takes a bit of time to have a look around. Great range of gift ideas too - especially if you are looking for that something a bit different.
