Generally speaking, it is just an average taiwanese dessert shop for me, but it is very popular among my friends, i guess it is because I don't like herbal jelly, pearl jelly and beans. The only thing I like from the shop is the taro and the mango crush. The size is big, but the generally speaking too much ice in it. I would rather go somewhere else for my mango pancake or mango pudding.

This review is for Peking Duck Restaurant, Beverly Hills NSW

I likes the peking duck here! We just order the normal peking duck set, which comes with pancake, Hoisin Sauce, cucumber, fresh shallot as well as the duck soup. The chef will slices the duck in front of you, and they will give you 2 plate generously. The duck skin is very crispy, not too oily as the fats already roasted to translucent color. The duck soup was milky broth cooked with the bones and some meat from the duck, not too salty, just right.
They also offer other dishes, which are big portion and reasonable priced. For 3 people, we only ordered duck set + pork and potato in hot pot and steam/fried bun with sweetened condensed milk. We all felt full and satisfied.

This review is for Bowl Bar Oiden, Sydney NSW

I like the bowl bar oiden! I like the Japanese curry, oiden beef, grill teriyaki chicken, hashed beef very much. You can just add cheese on top. They also offer deep fried food and side dishes, but I like the tempura next door more.
The good thing about this restaurant is that you can choose the size of the meal you want. Normally, small size (curry 2.9, oiden beef 3.9, sooooo cheap)+ some tempura is enough for me. Unless, i am really hungry, then will go for the medium size + tempura from menya mappan(next door).
Very generous size and good value, highly recommended!!

I like this japanese noodle bar, it is close to 85degree cake shop. It also has a good neighbor for rice, Oiden, which I will write a separate review.
This noodle bar offers mainly Soba and Udon. I like the Udon here, hot beef Udon or curry Udon are both great. Cold udon or soba are also available, like the spicy miso mince pork with kimchi. They also offer side dish and tempura. The tempura here is very good because it come with the right sauce, I like the prawn, sweet potato and the fish cake.
Very good price and staffs are all very busy but friendly, you need to return your own tray after dine in.

This review is for Mint Cafe, The University Of Sydney NSW

Mint cafe offers hot meals include thai curry, fried noodle, pizza, which are prepared and cooked fresh to order, so it will take awhile to wait for it, but its worth to wait for! Personally, I like the chicken schnitzel curry, it is a little bit spicy which is very nice! if your lunch break is short, gourmet sandwiches will definitely be a good option. The staffs are all really nice and the price is reasonable!

This review is for Spicy Sichuan, Glebe NSW

This place is great for Sichuan food! Very Delicious and authentic. The staffs are quite friendly. I like the stir fried hot pot here, very tasty and big plate cost approx 40dollar. Also like the cold dish, the spicy chicken shreds in sesame sauce is very yummy, as well as the spicy beef (fu qi fei pian). Smoked duck is beautiful, the beef with tofu in chili oil and twice cooked pork are nice too.

This review is for Hard Candy Fitness, Sydney NSW

I joined the club for a month via groupon, and it is just so great to have so many classes that you can try. I tried the Zumba, yoga, power yoga, belly dance, hip hop dance. The instructors are all very nice, however, if you go for the evening class, it could be very crowded, as it is very popular--everyone loves it. For some class, you will need to book, because of my trial membership, it is always fully booked. :(
Also be prepared for a hard sell, it also depends on your luck, my friend got a lot of phone calls from the sales, while I don't have any.

This review is for Zabeli, The University Of Sydney NSW

verified email - 19 Aug 2013

The Zabeli is in the level one food court of the Manning House, it offers wide range of cafe food, include burgers, sandwiches ,lasagne, pizza, hot chips, cakes and coffee. I tried the lasagne there, just average hot meal, nothing surprise. The sandwich there is average as well. The good thing is the staffs are very nice and the price is quite cheap, so I should not be too fussy about the taste, as long as it is hot and fresh.

This review is for Engineering Café, The University Of Sydney NSW

This is the cafe that I often get hot chips from. The chips is very yummy, with seasoning on top, not too salty, just the right taste, crispy, hot and the smell is great, you can tell right away if someone is eating the chips. The staffs are quite nice, and the portion is big, great to share with friends.
However, I do not really like the chicken burger here, even my friends find them alright.

This review is for Black Star Pastry, Newtown NSW

My friend's birthday cake is ordered from here, the famous Strawberry Watermelon Cake with Rose Scented Cream. It looks absolutely beautiful. The watermelon gave you a very fresh and juicy taste. The strawberry add a bit of sourness and the rose fragrant is just great, I actually love anything with rose taste. The cake itself is not heavy, and certainly I want more after eating one piece. If I have to suggest the room to improve, then the only thing will be the pistachios flakes is not crispy any more, may be absorb the moisture from the cake.
