I am a regular here for some assam laksa! Very tasty. Reasonable size and portion for the price. Service quick and efficient- cafeteria style- but does not feel crowded on most weekends. I usually get a can of 100 plus drink with the noodles. I really should try some of the other dishes, like other laksas and ho-fun.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for cafe gallery, Bondi Junction NSW

I go there once a week for breakfast to have breakfast. I usually get the omelette with a coffee. It is a tad pricey, but I like the quietness in the mornings and the service is pretty quick and efficient. The portions are big enough. I have been past at lunch time too and they seem quite busy! Recommended for a quiet breakfast in Bondi Junction.

Went there for the lunch special. Fair value for the price. Had the laksa, quite nice, finished it all. Also had the tea- that was nice, too, but not as authentic as you would have in Malaysia! Place is a bit small so pram is indeed something you might want to leave at home or in the car. The service is okay- sometimes you have to flag someone a few times. Recommended for a reasonable eat Malaysian lunch. Will go back and try other lunch specials.

I don't know what it is about their laksa, but I have been getting the wonton laksa for years and this time- no exception. Very yummy and reasonably priced. You might need to wait a bit if they are busy, but it is not like a massively long wait. They have a big variety of other dishes, too- noodles, rices, etc- which I should try someday, besides the laksa! The restaurant itself is a bit crowded, so takeaway to enjoy at home is a good idea. :)

This review is for Happy Chef Seafood Noodles, Haymarket NSW

Went there for lunch at Haymarket today (then watched some lion dancing!) Good value beef tripe noodle. Just spicy enough. Lots and lots of choices. Almost got seafood soup noodle instead. Service is as expected for a busy stall in a very busy food court on a Sunday. Prices very fair and reasonable, nothing unusual. Would recommend for a fair priced eat that is yummy and authentic!

This review is for Chantilly Coffee Lounge, North Ryde NSW

Went there for afternoon tea today for the first time. The service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The mocha was very nice. The prices were very reasonable. I would recommend if you are in the shopping centre and in need of a nice, relaxing break in a classy cafe. I like the decor. The cakes in the front display were really mouthwatering!

This review is for Petaling Street, Kingsford NSW

Went there for dinner. We had garlic and chili clam, roti with beef rendang, and the tung choi- all very nice- just spicy enough without going overboard. Service quick and efficient- order taken correctly and food served quickly. If only it was a tad cheaper, but overall- very good! The atmosphere is noisy and a bit cafeteria like, but that's to be expected and part of the fun. Recommended for a reasonable price Malaysian eat in the Kingsford area. Look forward to going again and trying other dishes next time, like the assam fish.

This review is for Golden Palace Seafood Restaurant, Cabramatta NSW

I went to yum cha here on Friday. I have been there one other time. The taste of the food is okay, but every time I leave, I have a funny taste in my mouth. The value is okay, better than yum cha costs in like the city or Bondi Junction. The variety is fair enough. The staff is friendly, especially the trolley ladies. I was not very keen to see the staff using the handicapped toilet to put some of the food trolleys though. :S Thankfully I did not see that til the very end. Overall, it is okay.

This review is for Premium Strata, Surry Hills NSW

You get what you pay for! We seem to pay slightly higher fees, but Premium Strata is good value- they are responsive and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to manage a building. Even if you are not on the executive committee, the strata manager will listen to you and help you in a speedy manner. I think they also have years and years of experience combined so that helps in this increasingly complex world of strata living. They don't charge by the e-mail or call or meeting- so that is good!

Just went there for yum cha (and go there for dinner once in awhile). The food is tasty enough- not the best in the world, but better than other yum cha restaurants. The service is good as we go there frequently and they recognize us. It is a bit pricey but nothing above the average prices for yum cha around Sydney. There is no waiting time most of the time, which is good. I just wish there was a lift or it was on ground floor, as the pram is bit heavy to carry up. All in all, okay!
