This review is for KFC, Thornbury VIC

verified email - 22 Jul 2010

I have used this KFC several times as it's closest to home! Unfortunately when using the drive thru the cashier is often rude and yells and screams to the guys in the kitchen! The food is okay, but usually always something wrong - stale burger buns, no seasoning on chips, old and super greasy chicken. Only use during peak meal times!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for RUN Property, Carlton VIC

verified email - 03 Feb 2010

I rented through RUN for 12mths. During that time I contacted them several times about issues with the property and failed to receive any response. I left voicemails and emails and in the end contacted the landlord directly to get things organised.

When I left, I was royally screwed around. They didn't hold the viewing when they said they would originally. I cleaned everything and handed everything back, went for the final inspection. It took 3 weeks for me to get a bond claim form sorted. Despite me calling them every few days, they stated they never received any voicemails, and that they sent me three copies and they all must have gotten lost in the mail... interesting seeing as I received all my other mail.

Very frustrating never getting a hold of anyone on the phone, and constantly leaving voicemails to no avail. In the end it took me physically going into the branch and demanding it be sorted out immediately that it was done.

I'm not the only one who's had issues. three other tennants in the same set of units had massive issues getting hold of them and getting bond claim forms returned. I would not recommend them, nor will I use them ever again. Poor form and not how you treat tennants who've been perfect, paid everything on time and also handed keys in early and left the place cleaner than it was originally moved into.

I nearly died when I stumbled across these guys at the Preston markets! Cookie time cookies, REAL grainwaves, ETA kettle chips, Rashuns, Biguns, Fresh Up juice, K Bars, Chocolate fish....and more... oh my heart did a happy dance!

For all kiwi's or lovers of kiwi food... get into this place! the shop is small but filled with goodies!! Even Kiwiana shirts, carvings and of course the food... it is a little $$$ but who cares when you are craving your favourite goodies!

Come on bro! Get in there!

This review is for Chiangmai Thai Restaurant, Surfers Paradise QLD

verified email - 21 Jan 2010

INCREDIBLE! Everything was amazing from the outdoor dining, inside dining - all the artwork, artifacts, the staff were delightful and friendly. The food - OH MY GOODNESS - the best Thai I've ever had outside Thailand.

The pad thai was so fresh and mouthwatering, the deep fried icecream was by far the best I've ever had. A little more pricey but totally worth it! Cost $50 for two.

Approximate cost: $20+

This review is for Pho Hung, Preston VIC

verified email - 21 Jan 2010

This place is bustling 7 days a week, and very busy after 5pm. Luckily it has a takeaway menu.
The food is cheap and good quality and comes quickly. Good deep fried icecream.
Good food if you don't feel like going all the way into Victoria St, Richmond for Vietnamese.

Approximate cost: $8-$16

This review is for Istana - Fine Asian Cuisine, Hawthorn East VIC

LOVE this place! The food is to die for! Fresh and delicious! The Roti is light and flaky, the curry sauce is delicious. I tend to just go and order several entrees rather than a large main!

Favourites are the Roti with chicken curry sauce ($4.50), Calamari fillets - come with a delicious coating ($8), Lohbak ($6). The noodle dishes are lovely.

Mains are large and don't require entrees before them.

Approximate cost: $13-$33

This review is for West Brunswick Veterinary Clinic, Brunswick West VIC

verified email - 21 Jan 2010

Went in for check up for two cats and the microchipping of one. Vet did not succeed in pill popping one of my cats and tried for 10mins while my cat got extremely worked up! Only a young guy. Other than that they were lovely. It was quite expensive though.

Approximate cost: $145

This review is for Thanh Tam, Richmond VIC

verified email - 21 Jan 2010

This restaurant recently had a name change, it used to be Thanh Ha 1 - and still uses the old menus! I've been going here once a week for the past year and I love it. Traditional vietnamese dishes, friendly and quick dining experience. It can get quite busy. There is everything from spring rolls, delicious rice paper rolls, vietnamese pancake, excellent main dishes and also traditional congee. The best fried icecream I've had in a long time!!

Lots of fresh ingredients, ample lettuce and mint with your spring rolls and plenty of dipping sauce. Never had a failed meal here yet!

They specialise in fresh steamed rice paper rolls. Try it today, you won't be disappointed.

Open 7 days from 9:30am to 10pm

Approximate cost: $8-$13

This review is for Safeway, Brunswick VIC

verified email - 22 Oct 2009

It is only a small Safeway, and doesn't hold a lot of variety in stock. Whenever I'm there, there is only ever once checkout open and a massive queue. It's quiet, clean and produce is fresh! But Coles next door offers better variety.

This review is for Salon Lavan, Elsternwick VIC

verified email - 25 Sep 2009

Being new to Melbourne I was very hesitant about getting a bad cut before finding my stylist... lucky for me I found WOMOW and made an appointment with Lee. On arrival she put me at ease straight away, the salon was so clean and tidy yet warm and welcoming.

I told Lee that I was very happy with my current look but it had been some time (March, 09) since it was last cut and just wanted a 'trim and tidy up'. I have very thick, coarse, curly hair and have had my fair share of bad cuts in my lifetime, and I style it to be worn straight.

The hair wash/massage was to die for, the reclining chair meant my neck was saved the torture of tilting back. She set to work and all I can say is WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have a fantastic cut and am so lucky I found Lee! I was all done in under an hour, normally I'm still there for a good 90mins to 2hrs!

What's more her prices are fantastic, I'm used to paying a lot more in NZ and I look forward to going back, time and time again!

I can't say enough! Lee is very warm and welcoming and really knows what she's doing!
