plumbers are certainly not cheap these days, but these guys are very professional and timely. they work around your timing also which always helps.

My usual morning coffee joint. Love this place for the people behind the counter than the contents of my coffee cup. Great all round experience - my morning pick me up.

The service is always pretty shoddy, but the quality and originality of the ice cream menu here is unparalleled for a city venue. Recommend the taro ice cream and black seed sesame.

These people are great even for guys! As with what most of the reviewers have been saying, English isn't the spoken language for most stylists, but they understand enough to get you the style they want. Very good and professional.

Overall, this a really good hair styling experience and they only employ the very best skilled stylists. A little pricey if you have to get your hair done all the time but great for a once in a while pazazz.

This is quite simply the best bakery you will ever get to. Its superbly crafted pastry is absolutely delectable. Can't say enough about it!

This is a very busy medical centre and the entire experience is that you're rushed from wo to go. Waiting times are often hour or so. The doctors themselves are competent without being phenomenal.

Approximate cost: $0

You can't beat the prices and quality of the dishes here - a favourite of the UNSW student class, it's great for something cheap, quick and good. I recommend the combination XO rice plate as a must as well as the egglant hot pot.

Approximate cost: $10-$20

Chocolate lovers will absolutely love the food here - though individual menus can get quite expensive. I recommend the waffles in particular. The ambiance is nice though it gets very busy at times.

Approximate cost: $15-20

This restaurant has a great ambiance to it, especially with the chilled-out jazz music going on in the main hall. The upstairs bamboo room is also nice but lacks the warmth of the main hall. The food is of high quality - though their speciality is on the more non-traditional fushion dishes rather than the sashimi plates.

Somewhat expensive though.

Approximate cost: $25-30
