This review is for Temasek Restaurant, Parramatta NSW

We always get the hainan chicken, sugar calamari, and chilli nasi goreng. Atmosphere is close to the actually eating on the streets of Malaysia/Singapore (narrow alleyway packed with tables, one unisex toilet), which I actually didn't mind. Prices are reasonable to, $55 for those three mains and 2 jugs of coke.

Approximate cost: $25

The pasta servings are large and good value for your money. Also the pizzas are available in ridiculously large (yet consequently cheaper) sizes. We went for Wednesday lunch as Temasek nearby was full. We sat outdoors, and even though it was quite cold they have many heater on the ceiling and standing so it was a very pleasant experience. Their selection of cocktails was good as well.

Approximate cost: $35

Just joined recently. I love the promotions. Great place to find honest opinions on places, many of which usually go unreviewed. Also the community seems very friendly and wecolming. Thnx guys!

I went in here with a couple of friends for lunch on a Wednesday. Rather quiet location, and only clientele were businessmen from the surrounding offices. The food is good, however it is horribly overpriced, 40-60 for mains.

Approximate cost: $50

I've been here on lunch and dinner dates. The food is beautiful, great customer service, and the specials are always lovely and interesting. You also get a good view of the harbour from here.

This review is for The Tea Room QVB, Sydney NSW

When I'm in the city with friends I go for cosy high tea in the armchairs. The atmosphere and location is astounding, it's in what used to be a grand ballroom of the QVB. The scones and exotic teas are exceptional. Only downside was it's a little pricy, and for some reason the toilets are at the end of a 20m hallway. :)

Approximate cost: $40

Popped in for lunch with some friends on a Saturday. The food quality is expected of, that is it's good, but nothing special. The decor and atmosphere is good on the other hand, and the customer service is reasonable.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Incanto Cafe, Sydney NSW

I always go here after a late night in the Meriton Apartments. I always buy their overly large cappuccinos served on a bamboo mat, and their Gluten/Dairy/Egg-free Japanese sweets. The customer service is always respectful, and like Japanese Custom they are very kind and respectful to their customers.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Shinka Hair And Make Up, Sydney NSW

I regularly use Roy the head stylist. He regularly produces hair styles for International Japanese Magazines. I always get my cuts and full-head highlights with him. The quality and level of technique is perfect, and not as overpriced as the more big name stylists and salon groups. It's also on the top level of TGV, and is in a full glass building, so you get to enjoy the view of both TGV and QVB as you get you hair done.

Approximate cost: $60

Good prices, and decent stylist experience. I needed some highlights done, and was too lazy to go to my usual uptown stylist. They did a great job for the price, and the colour didn't fade for at least a few months.
