Nice authentic Indonesian Restaurant. This is a fine dining venue - not a casual walk in restaurant. Price is around $15 - $20 per dish, which you can share.

Booking is best to make sure you get a table. Excellent service and we had the restaurant owner chat with us after our dining to ensure everything was served well.

If you like seafood, try the 'Udang Goreng Mentega' (i.e. prawn with butter and special sauce) or the 'Ikan Bakar' (i.e. Grilled Fish) - big portion tho! Succulent!

Approximate cost: $15

Main meal was absolutely amazing - we had the pork belly dish and the atlantic salmon. One of our friends who ordered steak was not as pleased as were, but his lost, not ours hahaha.... :P They also gave free house bread and some dessert samples.

A bit pricy, but good venue to impress or enjoy special occasions.

Approximate cost: $30

Never pay full price on cosmetics again!

They offer more discount with frequent buyers, and also gifts. They also notify if items are discounted because it's close to expiring or no box.

Postage is between 1 - 2 weeks, which is well worth for the price.

Easy and quick communcation from vendor.

I don't think they appreciate any service booked from 3rd party Voucher Company at all. No one to handle query or booking through the phone.

At first we asked if we could book the service after the due date of the voucher, due to some personal circumstances. Rudely, they said no. We understand we have to stick to the terms and conditions of the voucher.

We then arranged everything to work around a certain date before the due date (i.e. moving furniture, arranging time off work, etc). Inconveniently giving less than 24 hours, I received an SMS saying that service is cancelled due to mechanical error. I was a bit annoyed, but even more annoyed that they advised the next available service is not until another 16 days (after the due date of the voucher). This 16th day doesn't actually suit us, as it falls on Thursday, and we requested the first Monday/Tuesday that is available – and they advised a date 2 weeks after this 16th day. Wouldn't you think that a business have a back up machine?! No telephone communication at all, everything was done through email, and I could not sense any remorse at all! Their response feels like… “Oops… Oh, well you're not a full paying customer anyway.….” Outrageous!

Now let's discussed pricing. For an extra small hallway and 13 stairs they are charging $55 extra. Which will bring the total charge of voucher + extras to $120. I think I could find a better service with this price.

I didn't proceed with the service and cancelled the voucher.

I don't know if they offer the same standard for people who buy directly from them, but they definitely not being appreciative of voucher buyers. Why would they offer service through voucher anyway if they didn't appreciate it? Vouchers are good tool for advertising for the business (I bet it's cheaper to the business compared to TV/radio advert) to invite customers. But in this case, they have done the complete opposite.

Approximate cost: $120
