This small, unexposed tea store has some really nice and unique tea drinks (milk tea, green relish tea, black tea)! They have all these interesting toppings that are unseen at other bigger Tea drinks brands such as EasyWay Tea etc. I especially like their mini pearls (glutinous balls)~

Approximate cost: $5~

These people are professionals-hence the premium price that they charge. Hong Kong/Japan-influenced styles. I got a style cut done for $60...I think my hairdresser's name was Ken. They have different prices according to the level of professionialsm and experience of the hairdresser. My boyfriend has been there a few times and always comes out satisfied with a decent, well-cut and easy-to-style yourself haircut.

Approximate cost: $45~

I just bought a Car CD Player from their online shop/website www.soundmaster.com.au. They have a very good website with GREAT prices, I shopped around and ended up buying online. CD Player arrived the next morning! Great service, highly recommended over other car audio sites that I'ved checked out.

Approximate cost: $approx. $200 (depends on what you're getting)

They have these AMAZING chicken strips that are sooo succulent and juicy! When i used to buy them I think they were priced at $5 for 3 strips or something not sure if they have upped the price by now...but yeah, the sizes of each strip are very big and worth your money!

If you're looking for a quick and filling bento (Japnese lunchbox) then Sushi Joy is a good place to go. They have Lunch/Dinner Box A, B, Cs...that go up in size/content. Made very quick and freshly. Price ranges are not too bad either.

Approximate cost: $10~

I absolutely love shopping at this store! the prices are very reasonable and they have such a huge variety of pieces that are very fashionable and in-the-moment. They follow the fashion trends pretty closely, so whenever i pop in for a visit, i always find something that is very "in" and at a very affordable price! i think that's also why i never walk out of that shop empty-handed! My friend and I are always there after-work so we only get one hr to pop in at the store for a peek at whats new- rather than shooing us out when its close to close-up time for them, they were instead very patient and helpful and helped us locate other stores that had the clothes that we were after. Great service!

Approximate cost: $10~

This cute little store always have new things coming in that are fresh and hard to find anywhere else in Sydney. I'm assuming most of their shipments are from Asia, but they pick pieces that are sort of like a fusion of Asian modern+creative wear...and current tastes of young women's fashion here. I often find pieces that are very unique and quirky (tops/dresses/short jackets/office wear) that wont fit into the genre of regular Australian labels and big brand names, but are still equally as stylish and fashionably workable into mainstream styles accepted here.

It was actually my mum who first discovered this salon, so when she recommended me to try it out for myself...I was a little bit nervous. However, to my amazement and delight, they were actually really good and able to cut/style funky styles that are "in" and sought-after by younger customers. The hairdressers there always cut/styled to exactly what i was after, showing that they understood thoroughly what i asked for. They also advised me if the certain style i was after would suit my hair type/face shape etc. Very good and honest business right there. Also at VERY good prices...my sister and I both have long hair and got it cut at $35-for the service and our satisfaction with the cut it was VERY worth it. Also, my bf got his hair cut there as well, very well cut for only $17- he gave them a tip to show his satisfaction~ =)

Approximate cost: $17~ (depends on male/female haircut + hair length)

Very helpful pharmacist in charge. I witnessed a poor elderly lady who fell near the front of the store, and the pharmacy assistant immediately called for the pharmacist in charge- who promptly attended to the elderly lady with a first aid kit. The pharmacist also attended to her wounds (luckily they were only minor ones) and then sat with the lady on the side until she felt better. She acted like a paramedic! Good work.

We were there on Australia Day with a few friends and my friend ordered a takoyaki dish (octopus balls)...she was about half way into her dish when she realised that the insides were still cold and hard-possibly not fully well cooked. Now usually, a restaurant will be not too pleased if you hand back an unsatifactory dish after having eaten half or more than half of it, but Norita were more than happy to recook a new full dish for my friend and she was quite pleased about it afterwards.

Approximate cost: $10
