A good dining experience. The food is tasty, alright for a Japanese restaurant in Australia. The service is really slow though. On the up-side, it was probably a sign that they do everything from scratch which is nice. We did however have a misorder here and ended up having to pay for the dish we didn't even order. Overall, a good place to grab a bite with friends.

A great store that is centrally located. Lots of different Asian foods available - from tofu, to Japanese 'Pocari Sweet', to so many different flavours of instant noodles. The prices are a bit high, plus a lot of stuff don't have prices on them, which is annoying. The lady who owns the store is really nice however, and will happily answer any queries you have.

A great market to explore. A bit on the expensive side, but there are lots of vendors and lots of very creative people there. Some samples available too :) Food is available there too, and one of my friends even ran into Kevin Rudd while he was waiting for his food.

A nice little store. A nice range of fruit and vegetables. However, a lot of their advertised products are not available, even if I go there early the same day it is advertised. Even if it is available, it is normally so-so quality. I even had a strange experience when I was looking for a bigger pumpkin in the stall, and the manager put all the smaller ones back on top so I couldn't find a big one! Argh. But a nice store nonetheless.

This market has good prices on fruit and vegetables (particularly in bulk). A nice range too, full of Tassie produce. Very cheap, but you pay for what you get and sometimes the quality is a little questionable. However, the prices have gone up a bit due to people stealing from the store. They also have a fish section, even tanks with live fish. Despite this, the fish is not fresh and that is really disappointing.

A nice variety of fruit and vegetables, sometimes cheaper and more often than not, better than Supabarn located just next door. However, the range of fruit and vegetables has reduced since the renovations and the consquential decrease in its floor-size. However, there are a nice range of fruit salads and smoothies available.

A great bookshop, with such a wide range of books available. However, they are lacking in books for those studying a second language. However, the store has a nice design - very modern and clean. The prices could be better and I wish that they had more sales. They have an active Facebook page, which can be quite amusing at times too. Overall, a great bookstore.

A good dining experience. The restaurant was a bit old and dark, plus the regular chef was away. The food was alright, but probably better with the other chef. The service was amazing. We had a long talk with the people there, plus the owner told me that I should marry his son! Hmm. Great experience, wish there was better food.

A good place for supplies and a great range of products, in particular bulk supplies for the garden. However, they were quite pushy rather than helping me select the right product.

A nice variety of drinks and nice pizza deals (great to share with friends). The pizza itself was decent for its price. Plus there are other dessert treats and cookies also available. The waiters were very friendly and it had a great atmosphere.
