This review is for Sakura Lounge, Melbourne VIC

I went to Sakura Lounge yesterday after seeing the reviews on WOMOW. Upon entering, I was asked to pay for the service and then a guy greeted me and asked me to change my shoes to a pair of thongs. The massage I took up was for a Shiatzu massage for 60mins. For this massage, you do not need to strip naked- they provide you with a change of clothes. It was such a relaxing experience I almost fell asleep. They had good relaxing music and the room smelled nice. The Japanese guy that massaged me was very professional and speaks good English. I had aching muscles and wanted a deep massage to loosen up the knots- he used the perfect level of strength. I am now considering joining the membership and becoming a frequent customer.
The only down side to Sakura Lounge is that it is situated in a small alleyway, which may bring about a sense of insecurity for females going alone later in the evenings.

Approximate cost: $79

This review is for Box Hill Hand Car Wash & Detailing, Box Hill VIC

I went last Saturday and wanted just the outside of my car washed at 9:30am for $19. They would not allow me to pick up my car at 2:30pm because I was spending too little. However, they said if I went for the complete package which costs $39 (cleaning inside and out), they would let me park until 2:30pm. I thought this was reasonable and went for the complete package.
Service was okay. When I came at 2:30pm, the car was there and ready for me to pick up. However, the wash was not thorough. When I went to my car, ready to drive away, I noticed a lot of dust at the rear bumper of my car. When I pointed it out, the manager came with a damp cloth to wipe it off. (I still wonder if that may scratch the car.) The cleaning for the interior was good, however, my car is only a few weeks old and was not very dusty in the first place. I have been to the doncaster magic hand car wash and the quality of the wash was much more thorough. Not all franchises are the same in quality.

Approximate cost: $39.00

This restaurant is a fantastic one for both vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. I am not a vegetarian but I love the amount of variety of dishes they have. one of my favourite is the vegetarian duck. it is crispy and very nice. I took an Indian vegetarian friend their once and it was absolutely excited by all the different dishes he can try (esp the vegetarian meats). the service is pretty alright and the decor of the restaurant is very nice.

This review is for Breadtop, Box Hill VIC

Bread top is a good place to purchase Asian breads and cakes. Their mango-flavoured cakes are especially good. I have bought it on a few occasions for birthdays. However, when comparing to other Asian bread stores in the locality of Box Hill, such as the Grand Taipei on Station Street. I must say that the BREAD of Grand Taipei has better quality and freshness, with more quality fillings inside them.
The service Bread Top in Box Hill provide is to a bare-minimum, with not much speaking from the shop girls and sometimes a little impatience when you're not sure if they are ready to serve you yet. This is usually tolerated because not many other stores in Box Hill sells Asian bread and cakes. I often feel pressured to have the money ready in my hand while I am waiting in the line so that I can pay immediately without looking for loose change because I often feel that before I have hardly left the counter, they are already getting the next person to come up to be served.
