I have been disappointed with Allure of late, I have been a customer for some years and the quality of the services is always high. However I have noticed that the staff have become very focused on trying to get you to buy products. I have walked out of a waxing appointment feeling very self conscious about my skin and was told I needed a whole heap of products to fix it. Not what you expect when you go for your regular waxing. Would expect if if I was having a facial but not a wax.

Velvet Lily is a great florist. I often have bunches of flowers made up and the florist always makes up great arrangements at a very reasonable price. Great opening hours and a great location. They have a great range of gifts as well. I also love their window displays clearly a lot of effort goes into the weekly display and it always manages to catch my attention when I drive past.

Approximate cost: $30-50

Strawberry net is one of my favorite sites and has a huge range or products to choose from. I have been a regular customer for some time so my discount percentage continues to increase the more I purchase. The delivery is very quick and I have never had any problems with any of my orders. I have saved so much money over the years! Love the free gifts with purchase from time to time, great way to try new products

This restaurant was truly one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. We visited in December 2010 on a week night and the restaurant didn't appear to be very busy.

The entrees were all deep fried frozen food like you would find in a supermarket. We had a spring roll, prawn toast and a curry puff.

For our mains I ordered a Char Kuey Toew and it was very bland and I asked twice for chilli to season it and never received it. My husband ordered Nasi Lemak and he thought he had experienced better Nasi Lemak on the inflight menu on Malaysian airlines. We ordered additional drinks that never arrived despite there only being four other tables in the restaurant.

Overall not a good experience and we will not be going back.

Great venue for a work lunch. We were seated quickly and our drinks order arrived quickly. Good variety on wine list but a little pricey. Lots of options for mains and waiter was knowledgeable about the daily specials. For my main I had a fillet of snapper which was very nice. Overall a great place to go for good quality food and good service.

We have been to Academy of Scuba to purchase scuba gear and have found the staff to be very attentive to our needs and very knowledge of the products that they sell. They made the whole process easy and explained the pros and cons of different equipment. They are passionate about their business and it shows in their customer service. Would definitely go back

Rasa Malaysia has been one of our favourites for many years. The food always tastes amazing and we are always keen to try something new as well as sample some old favourites. The Rasa Calamari is amazing! The service is always attentive. Perfect for dining in or take away
