"Thai Splendid" is definitely that. Excellent service teamed with a great variety of delicious and reasonably priced Thai dishes. What more could you ask for? They also offer a take away menu which comes in quite handy.

Approximate cost: $16

I've eaten at Bongiorno's on several occasions and am yet to be disapionted. The staff have amazing service and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. They also have gluten free and a takeway option which is a plus.

My last experience at Peppers was very disappointing. I attended a family birthday dinner mid week and although we were only customers in the restaurant they seated 9 of us at a 6 person booth, they then forgot 3 of the drinks we ordered and when we re-ordered them they were again added to our bill. The biggest disappointment was when I asked the waiter if I could have a side salad with my chicken dijonaise rather than vegetables, he explained that the chef could not do this and I would have to order an additional salad which would cost another $11 on top of my $22 meal, then when I did get my meal (minus the salad) the only vegetables on my plate were a few bits of grilled capsicum and half a carrot. For $22 you would think they would have a bit more variety and try to meet their customers needs. I'm not usually one to complain but the service we received at Peppers for the price was absolutely appalling.

Approximate cost: $20-$25

This independently owned Cinema is extremely cheap and great value for money. I was honestly in shock when I bought a medium popcorn, medium drink, a choc top from the Candy Bar and got change from $10. They play the latest movies, have friendly service and have tickets the price of one night DVD hire, what more can you ask for?

Approximate cost: $6

Som is a hairdressing genius. Som and his staff offer a high quality service for a low price. The staff specialize in stylish womens, mens and childrens cuts as well as colours and styling for special occasions. I've finally found a hairdresser that knows what is in style and what suits me. You won't be disappointed.

Approximate cost: $140 Long Hair Foils, Style Cut, Blow Dry and Straighener

I was introduced to Xzotic Beauty by a friend in early 2009 and I've kept going back ever since. They offer a range of services you'd find at your regular beauty therapist including facials, massage, microdermabrasion, nail treatments, waxing etc. But the reason I love them is for their eyebrow sculpting by using the eastern art of threading. It is a little more painful than waxing but the regrowth rate is up to 6 weeks and the girls get the perfect eyebrow shape everytime.

Approximate cost: $20 for Eyebrow Sculp

I go to American Nails on a regular basis to get acrylic infill, as it is cheap, convenient and the staff are friendly. The only complaint I do have is that the girls don't always listen to what I want. I'm not a big fan of long nails and much prefer a natural length, and no matter how many times I say 'shorter' I always seem to go home and have to file my nails down. In saying this, for the price and the $5 discount for every third visit you can't really go wrong.

Approximate cost: $28 Infill

I've been to Dr Hubbard several times now and definately plan on returning in the future. At my first consultation he took photos of my teeth and showed them to me on his computer and explained any problem areas I had. When I returned to have 2 fillings and fisher seals on my back teeth I experienced no discomfort during or after the procedure. Even when I was given needles to numb my mouth I was not uncomfortable at all as I have been in the past with other dentist. I recetly refered my Dad who has just undergone extensive dental work by Dr Hubbard and he also has no complaints.
