This review is for Belvga (Beluga) Fish And Chippery, South Yarra VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2013

Belvga (Beluga) Fish and Chippery are a fresh, tasty and more healthier spin on fish and chips.

Open from 12noon till late, 7 days a week they are always available for a filling meal or a feed on the way home after a couple of drinks down Chapel Street.

Lots of options - traditional fish, chips, hotdogs or more healthier options with grilled fish, chips or rice and fresh salads as a meal deal.

I usually get the vegey burger and chips for only $10 - first time it was great, second time the pattie was over cooked and very tough. Chips are second to none and amazing!

Dine in is available but not a lot of space - outdoors seeating is a better option.

Can be a bit hit and miss with the staff - sometimes they're really friendly, other times it appears they don't want to be there and just throw the food in the fryer or take away container.

Approximate cost: $10.00

Went to this place for Friday night drinks after work to destress. Cocktail special for $10 which were really tasty.
Also ordered a pizza to share which embraced true Italian flavours - simplist, not over cooked and thin base.
This place is always busy when I walk past and would love to go breakfast or lunch. Excellcent and friendly service.

This review is for Bopha Devi, Docklands VIC

Bopha Devi - absolutely amazing.
We went here last night for a meal before a concert at Edihad Stadium and the food was to die for! We are still talking about how wonderful it is today.

We made an online booking for Bopha and arrived just before 6pm. We were quickly seated and given water, menus and offered drinks. We ordered 3 entrees to share which arrived quickly (about 10 minutes later) of corn cakes, tofu rice paper rolls and K'dom -Chicken and crabmeat rolled together in crispy bread. The taste was fresh, authentic and arrived hot.

For our mains we ordered:

Char Kroeung with tofu and crushed peanuts, lime leaves, lemongrass, turmeric, onion, bean shoots, beans, carrots and capsicum served with steamed rice. This meal was extremely flavourful and fresh. As a vegetarian, my choices of dishes are often very limited (like 2 max) but Bopha had 7 options for me - very impressed.

My partner had Char Mee Battambang with beef (recommended by the waiter) which is Wok-fried vermicelli noodles with carrots, Asian broccoli, Chinese cabbage, bean-sprouts, shallots, garlic, sweet soy-sauce and egg. He commented this had a great depth of flavour and tasted like Cambodian street food.

We finished our meal with a scoop of green tea ice-cream. It was lovely but sadly brought in - the only tiny disappointment of the night. Since Bopha prides itself on fresh food, some home made ice-cream would have sealed the deal and given this place 10/10.

All in all, a great experience food wise, the decor was interesting and top marks for the charity work - raising funds to build a library in Cambodia. We had an entertainment voucher (25% off) but we will definitely return and pay full price. Bopha Devi you are legendary!!

Great experience at Rainbow Total Body Care. Busy when I went in on a Sunday afternoon but seen me straight away for acrylic nails. Huge range of OPI colours and nail tech appeared confident in what she was doing. This nail bar uses a drill on the nail bed but were careful and didn't cause any pain or damage to my nails.
Great value for money and Rainbow also offers manis, pedis, waxing, spray tans, tinting and lash extensions. Excellent value for money and they will have you looking great in no time.

First time at Play Lash Bar and having my eye brows threaded and extremely impressed. The threader recommended the perfect shape for my face and was attentive and very through. I also had my eyebrows and lashes tinted. The atmosphere at the bar was great and the layout was really pretty and interesting.
Upon payment I received a goodie bag for being a new customer and given a loyalty card - 6th visit = free thread. I had no hesitation in booking my next appointment on the spot!
Go to Play Brow Bar - #1
