I had my first baby at Mitcham Private. The food there was awesome. My partner had his meal there with me and it wasn't too expensive as well. The cake trolley in the afternoon was absolutely fabulous! I miss the apple pie already!!! My baby was in special care nursery and the mw there are absolutely fabulous. They taught me a lot regarding breastfeeding and parenting which are awesome. I had an emergency c section, and the nurses, midwife, obstetrician and paediatrician kept me calm and relaxed. The hospital provides awesome service and would love to return for my next bub!

Dr Tang is a very friendly and cautious obstetrician. My baby was kicking all along and I thought he was a healthy little bundle who was happily growing in my belly despite the fact that my baby was measured small and my fluid was low. Dr Tang insisted on induction at week 37 and regular CTG monitoring at the hospital which at that time I found unnecessary. However, on the induction day, situation turned worse and baby was in distress even though he was still kicking away. I should thank Dr Tang for saving my baby's life. Without him being so cautious and insisting on monitoring, I might not have a baby in my arms now. We all heard about baby died without notice. I couldn't imagine what might happen "if" I wasn't in the hospital that day.... I am not sure if other comments are correct - that he is c section-friendly. But does it matter? We have a healthy bub at the end.... In fact, he did let me go natural - but nobody knows that baby would be in distress! Would go back to him again for my next bub

Approximate cost: $1800 (out of pocket)

Dr Odea is a wonderful paediatrician..:) Our baby was admitted to special care nursery after he was born and Dr Odea was looking after him until he was discharged. Dr Odea is very caring and always making sure that you don't have any queries or concerns. He also spends time to discuss your baby's development and situation with the parents. Great paediatrician...:) and he offers gap free consultation as well! Awesome service

Approximate cost: $Gap Free with private insurance (BUPA)

Love their pizza. Lots of toppings, sauce, etc. Staff are honest and friendly. Always busy and that tells the story!

I moved into the neighbourhood last year and have since been at NRMC a few times. The doctors are friendly and you can either make an appointment with your preferred doctor or anyone available. Receptionists always make you feel comfortable and let you know how long you need to wait. Unless you arrive much earlier than your appointment time, you don't normally wait for long. Charges are based on your services, ie. long services charge more fee, which is fair.

Approximate cost: $48-88

I was an architectural student in Deakin and often visited this book shop in an alley. The books sold there are cheap and were often wrapped and protected properly. The quality of goods are high and price is reasonable.

We went there because Parkers Steakhouse was fully booked. The food wasn't bad and was cheaper than parkers. I had a duck dish and it tasted quite nice. My husband has a steak and was quite good too (not as good as Parkers though...)

Dinner there is always good. We love the banquet there. The good - the food is awesome. Bad - there is a chinese menu and an english menu. All the awesome chinese food cannot be found in the english menu. The fish fillet with chinese brocolli, the lobster with noodle, the char-grilled pork neck, the salt and pepper chicken are all awesome. We often have the (chinese) banquet there which starts from the lobster with noodle, shark fin soup, steam fish, and other dishes including desserts. Yum.

The cafe has contemporary style and serves nice coffee. It is normal packed with younger generation and serves good food.

Having some buddhist family members, we always find it hard to find restaurant when they come visiting. Vege hut is a proper vegetarian restaurant which does not use onion and garlic at all to many buddhists' requirements. The price is reasonable and the food is delicious. However, booking is always essential as mentioned before - finding a vege restaurant is not easy. I am not a buddhist nor vegetarian....but the food is definitely AWESOME.
