The décor and ambience is good. The food that we ordered was delicious except that I found the pad thai too sweet. Prices are quite reasonable and you have a choice of vegetarian, chicken, beef or seafood with most of the dishes with sides of rice or noodles.

Approximate cost: $14

I bought 1kg of 9mm chickpeas for $3.95 and 20g of star anise for $1.10 which seems cheaper than most places I have been to. The shop stocks a good variety of Indian foodstuff and spices and is conveniently located in a shopping centre. Service was quick as it wasn't busy

I used them for conveyancing to prepare a sales contract for an investment property that was sold through LJ Hooker Bella Vista and they were efficient and prepared everything within a week and I sold the property in a week.

Approximate cost: $1700

Can't fault the ambience but rather disappointed with the slow-cooked beef on pasta that I had from the bistro as the gravy was so salty and all over the pasta that I just could not finish the dish. It was not worth the $22 I paid for it. After lunch we adjourned to the lounges which were comfortable. The car park was nearly full when I got there last Sunday as I got the second-last spot undercover.

Approximate cost: $25

My husband had seafood laksa and I had combination laksa; his with vermicelli and mine with hokkien noodles. The serving is quite generous and I had a lot of pork in mine but should have chosen another variety like chicken or king prawn. It was quite tasty but I found it too sweet to my taste. The service is quick and Chinese tea is complimentary. There are other Vietnamese and Chinese dishes on the menu.

Approximate cost: $11-13

New Aldi store in Castle Hill is well laid-out and has a few cashiers to shorten the queue. Great opening special on strawberries at $1.49/punnet and low everyday prices. Convenient location and nearest store for me.

This review is for Bupa Dental Parramatta, Parramatta NSW

I was at Westfield Parramatta last week and thought I'd drop in to Bupa to get a quote as I wanted to change my health insurance provider. The lady there gave me a corporate quote for couple and family cover which I took home to compare and also did a comparison online. I went back again 2 days ago to enquire further and asked if they could do any better and was told that I could get a $300 optical voucher on joining the top hospital and extras cover and that sealed my decision. Am happy with the service and that the 2 months waiting period would be waivered for those extras that I normally use.

Approximate cost: $394.80/mth

This review is for Armory Wharf Cafe, Newington NSW

Nice setting for casual dining with the park and by the river. Servings are quite large and prices are reasonable for what you get. Service is fairly quick but the place is not air-conditioned, only has ceiling fans so on a very hot day it can be a little bit uncomfortable if you are inside. There is an outdoor area too.

Approximate cost: $20

This shop has a variety of Manchester and giftware that ranges in quality. It is well laid out and the displays are attractive. I found small gifts of reed diffusers for $3 each but will keep in mind when I need to purchase bed linen as they have pure cotton in different thread counts.
