Went into this restaurant two days ago and had a tasty warm chicken roll and some chips which were crispy, flavoursome and so delicious. The salt they use at Red Rooster for their chips is just delicious and personally I think it beats all the other mainstream takeway places chip's salt. The warm chicken roll was good, about a 3.5 stars out of 5. I have gotten roast dinner's from this Red Rooster a few times before and they are satisfactory (for a takeaway restaurant) too. You get a peice of chicken, roast pumpkin, roast potato, carrot and peas. Happy bubbly girl behind the counter serving and reasonable prices, as is to be expected for takeaway food. I must admit though when we went there again yesterday, through the "drive-thru" this time. My partner oredered his usual warm chicken roll meal deal which was fine. I decided to try a burger from there "skin-free" healty range and was very disappointed. Disappointed because I ordered the one with cheese and bacon but when I opened it up on the way home all it had in it was advocado, tomato, lettuce and the actual skinfree chicken meat. I was so upset but didn't have time to take it back so I just ate it. It wasn't the best tasting burger I'd ever had this way, the cheese and bacon would have really made it. So next time I go here (and I would advise others to do this too) actually check the contents of your burger / order before driving off, especially if you live a while away!

Approximate cost: $5

This review is for Hungry Jacks, Duncraig, Duncraig WA

I went into this Hungry Jack a few days ago and was severely disappointed with the outcome. I ordered two Whopper burgers and some large onion rings. The Whopper's were two of the worst made burgers I have ever had, I expect much better from Hungry Jacks. The lettuce was turning brown and the actual burger was just plain sloppily made. I am sure it had been sitting there for hours. The best thing and only acceptably edible part of the burgers was the bun. We bought the burgers and took them home to eat them a mere fifteen minute drive away and despite how hungry we were, both my partner and I couldn't stomach more than a few mouthfuls. Thank goodess we bought the large onion rings as we would have been totally starving otherwise. If we had of dined in and received these burgers I would have taken them straight back to the counter for a refund. To this store's credit, the onion rings were exceptionally tasty. I am hoping this burger experience was just a one off mistake as it was my first visit to this particular store.

This is a really good department store, I find especially for cosmetics and perfume. Around this time of year (Christmas) they have promotions on brands like Revlon (where you get a bonus gift with purchase). I love the fact that they have testers for all their creams, lotions, cosmetics and perfumes. Myer stock the best brands and you can find anything from clothing to electronics on one of their many levels. I find the customer service here is exceptonal, even on one occassion when I just went in there to pick up a free sample with a voucher from a magazine. Although busy, the lady was super friendly. Also, I have had a complimentary makeover at the Estee Lauder counter (for eyes) which resulted in me making a purchase. They often have sales and currently have old makeup stock and various items going out for half price. A good all-round store and good one-stop shop for your Christmas shopping.

This review is for Guess, Perth, Perth WA

I love this shop, is one of my favourite for clothing, especially jeans. On a recent trip I got the cutest light blue boot cut jeans for only $120, not bad. A while ago I got a pair for $80 which was half-price - they were having 50% off certain older stock jeans, fabulous bargain. Their jeans just seem to fit really well In the past I have picked up the coolest black boots I have ever owned (they were $250 when brand new but so worth it because they last and are very good quality). This Guess store stock some of the cutest tops, jumpers and skirts around. It isn't cheap but you sometimes get a bargain. I wouldn't say it's overpriced, I think it's pretty reasonable because their stock is of a high quality. They have some really nice jewellery aswell.

If you want cheap everyday wear clothes for girls, then this is the shop to go to. I picked up x3 tops for $9.95 each and they're quite cute too. They have a huge variety of tops, shirts, vests, bottoms, dresses and skirts and accessories too. Even the accessories are cheap. The sunnies were retailing at $9.95 on my last visit which was recent. Staff were as polite but busy. I had to wait about 5 minutes to be served but it was a Saturday so probably one of their busier days. Pretty big shop too.

This review is for Live Clothing, Morley, Morley WA

This is my second favourite Live Clothing store. It's smaller than the Perth one with a smaller range but you often find groovy one-off pieces that aren't stocked anywhere else. My last visit scored me a grey "Glamazon" hooded cardigan for $40 : good value for what it is. It was on the sale rack which is right next to the handbags and accessories wall. The accessories are a bit expensive for me but I suppose you get what you pay for. Staff are pretty friendly too, willing to help with sizes, especially the blonde girl with the ponytail, don't know her name but she was very helpful to me. Oh and they stock an awesome range of jeans, especially Nobody Brand jeans. These are expensive (between $170 to $200+) but they fit like a dream. They have guy's and girl's clothing, I should metion too.

This review is for Bardot, Perth WA

A recent trip to Perth introduced me to the new Bardot Store on Hay street (new to me, I hadn't been to Perth for a while so was the first time I'd been in there). Bardot is a gorgeous brand and prior to finding this store I could only get there clothes at Myer, with a limited selection but here they have everything. Gorgeous jeans that fit just right aswell as tops (mostly priced around the $50+ mark but so worth it) and dresses. The staff were ok, maybe a bit sophisticated which could be interpreted as snobbish but I didn't mind because the clothes were so beautiful. I will be becoming a regular of this shop.

If you want fashionable clothing in Perth there is one name that should be on your lips : Live. The Live Clothing store in Perth is far more impressive than any of the other Live branches. On my last visit I saw they have a good range of girl's and guy's clothing plus accessories and shoes, all modern, funky and top of the range. I got a gorgeous "Blue Juice" dress for $100. It may seem expensive but the quality is definitley there. They play good techno music which suits the atmosphere. Every time I have been there, the staff always come up and ask if you need any help and are happy to help with choices and sizes. They have particularly good-looking staff too, I noticed! They specialise in funky club wear but really the clothes they have there you could wear anywhere and look totally hot. They have a sale rack too for bargains on designer labels. One of the best clothing shops in the Perth area in my opinion.

This review is for Cash Converters, Subiaco, Subiaco WA

I have been to a few Cash Converters in Perth both to sell goods and to buy and this would be one of the better ones. I took in some jewellery : a nice watch and a few gold rings and got $120 cash which was badly needed. Granted the value if new would have exceeded well over $400 but they were second hand and beggars can't be choosers. At a different pawn shop I was offered $100 and I had to push for that for the same products so I'm glad I came here, even if it is only $20 extra. It is a nice large shop. I saw they stock a lot of items from televisions to guitars. Staff were reasonable and didn't mince words either, nice and direct.

This review is for Fuzzy Fencing, Willetton WA

verified email - 12 Dec 2010

We recently had a fence put up through Fuzzy Fencing and are most pleased with the results. The actual fence is a really modern looking. These fences provide good coverage from neighbours and outside intruders and add a nice touch to any home. We got ours in a beigy, creamy colour but there are other colours available. Peter Carlaw from New Zealand(the owner) and his team were great and obviously experienced, they worked diligently without disturbing us and had it all done professionally and rather quickly too. Pretty reasonable prices for the result too. If you need any fencing work done in the Perth area I would definitely highly recommend these guys. Top Job!
