This review is for Play Brow & Lash Bar, Fitzroy VIC

14 Jul 2012

Came here for threading and my brows looked ok when it was finished. I had to admit that they looked a lot better the next day. My concern was that I had scratches to the skin underneath my brows evident by light scabbing the next day. Not quite what I was hoping for but I'm sure it would heal soon. Perhaps I just have sensitive skin and this was my first threading experience.

I found the chairs not too comfortable but it doesn't take long for your brows to be done.

In all fairness I think it is good value compared to other hair removal methods.

I might give them another go next time! Fingers crossed no scratching!

Approximate cost: $19

Coffee is great, food is fresh and very tasty especially if you fancy poached eggs. With what they offer they do it very well.
Just a little wait on weekends but I'm very impressed and would happily come back. The setting is cool but not pretentious. Highly recommended!

This review is for Lawson Grove Shop, South Yarra VIC

A hidden yet cute little cafe in the midst of South Yarra homes. You have to be fairly curious and patient to find this little gem. Serving wholesome goodness - it has that barnyard, deli feel. Plenty of breakfast options, I had the baked eggs with fresh juice. Delicious and satisfying. They also sell a small selection of breads, eggs etc.. depending on availability and seasons.

Don't leave without a cupcake sweet delight! yum yum!

I have been here a few times - attracted by the window filled with sweet delights but unfortunately I have not enjoyed the food sold here. With take-away cafe prices I would be happy to expect the quality to be the same but sadly I have had stale cakes and biscuits here. The service is friendly, the sweets look good but that's where all the goodness ends. Always nice to walk past but would appreciate fresher stock.

A nice little neighbourhood pub with an awesome beer garden. Perfect for Summer or Winter (with the heaters on!). Food is good (pub grub) and is generally not too crazy busy.

The food is always cheap and delicious here. Great for a lunchtime feast.

Lots of the menu features slow-cooked, hearty dishes.

Staff are fast and friendly.

Recommended for well priced, decent Indonesian food.

Love the food here. Run by Japanese I had high expectations and I was not disappointed. It has the edge to cater to Australian produce and food almost always runs out close to lunch time.

Expect fresh flavours, great sushi, amazing dishes! The food offered can be healthy, wholesome or fried and decadently saucy and comforting!

Highly recommended and try to pop in before the lunchtime rush. A really cool, cheap Japanese eatery in the CBD!

This review is for Kokoro Ramen, Melbourne VIC

07 Jul 2012

I was not a fan of this establishment. The flavours were not authentic, very salty with minimal toppings. The food is not reflective of the pictures on the menu. The texture of the ramen noodles themselves was good but the broth can definitely improved.

I have tried the ramen with the lot and also tried the most simple one with chashu and corn. Not impressed unfortunately!

Their beers were very expensive.

For a place that specialises in ramen noodles - I am somewhat disappointed. Will not be back. I am not sure why there is such a crowd of customers... is it something that I do not get?

This review is for We Cafe, Melbourne VIC

Sporting a Taiwanese menu, this is generally filled with students but it boasts a delicious Popcorn chicken with rice. Lots of fried foods on the menu and I have also tried the slow cooked pork belly on rice. The flavours are good - not exactly like the street food in Taiwan but tasty.

Love their flavoured ice teas.

Don't like the oil smell inside (poorly ventilated kitchen perhaps?).

Come here for some tasty, fried goodness!

This review is for Thai Taste, Collingwood VIC

07 Jul 2012

Sorry I did not think this was authentic Thai food at all. Balance of flavour and tastes were all wrong. Maybe the kitchen had a bad night despite the restaurant only being half full but I will not be back simply because the food was not good at all.

There are so many more great Thai restaurants in Melbourne than to go back to this one.
