to be completely honest, i gave this 4x 5 stars because it's still small, I know once the word gets out about this AWESOME little restaurant, things may well change .. but it could also be for the better too =D I've been craving to find a Korean place that does authentic kal bi [beef strips] & HAN INN IS THE PLACE TO BE~! ... they were so incredibly finger-licking' good I had to stop myself from ordering more!!
my Korean friend who introduced me to Han Inn said the food is very authentic Koren style, not westernised ;) and the owner even makes her own kimchi which i loved :D after the meal, I concluded I'll probably be making excuses to go back there more than i need to ;P

Approximate cost: $12+

catching up with friends before i move city, & enjoying some spare entertainment book vouchers from my sister, I decided to finally give the new mad mex that opened recently in my area a try :D given the multitude of options on the menu, the staff were very helpful in keeping it simple - i enjoyed the beef crispy tacos - get 3 for $10.50 & i had a 2-for-the-price of-1 coupon so it was a bargain lunch for the two of us! :D she said the vege naked burrito with brown rice was yummy, we both left with happy stomachs & content hearts =)

i was referred to see Dr Mark Kelly from a good friend & find out if he could help me with the after affects of a few head injuries resulting from some falls. i found him to be just as my friend had said - quick to find out my condition & to let me know if he can help me or not, i found him to be a rare practitioner of honesty & integrity who wasn't about to just use me to make money, making it clear that unless he could help me, we wouldn't go further. he even told me about the care plan i can get on medicare to see him for 5 sessions for FREE! :D he was careful & patient to talk me through the process of what he was doing in trying to treat me .. I highly recommend him as he was highly recommended to me!!

Approximate cost: $60

been here 3 times, first introduced by a Korean friend, then been back twice since. the servings are always generous & yummy! giving good value for money. i totally love the sweet potato side dish [mud-tang] & try to get as many free refills of it in one sitting ;) my friend was disappointed with a noodle soup she ordered, where the noodles looked very cheap [2-minute style] but i had a similar experience at another Korean place in the valley, so font know if it's standard Korean restaurant practice ..

Approximate cost: $10+

if you're like me & love a cheap yet yummy feed, stop by at Fuji Pan for some yummy Japanese baked delights!
I was on my trek back to Central station from Queen Victoria Building, when i came across this Japanese Bakery. I couldn't resist, even though I'd just had a filling lunch at son of Tuysuz! ;) i bought a melon pan for $1.60 [cheapcheap!!], stored it in my bag until i wasn't feeling so full, then i munched away at its fragrant yumminess =)

Approximate cost: $1 -

I had an appointment to meet a friend for lunch @ central station, but that got cancelled, so I wandered off to find another place with good reviews on womo.com.au [roughly 30 min walk from central station along George St] & ended up at the food court in Queen Victoria Building .. after scanning different menus & prices, I decided to go for something out of the ordinary for my diet & thought I'd give son of Tuysuz a try! after all, I'd heard that middle eastern food was yummy but never actually had any .. I was NOT about to be disappointed! :) for $9.50 i got a kofte burger [lamb] which was BIGGER than most burgers you'd get in a normal food court, + salad which filled me up plenty for the next 4 hours, and I walked a fair bit around the CBD on a warm enough day, so i thought that was pretty good value!
if you got a smartphone, they're running a free meal deal in the food court in Queen Victoria Building if you download the app & try 4 restaurants, i think you can get a free meal =) *rats*, if only i was staying in Sydney a little bit longer ;P

Approximate cost: $10+

if you like delicious Chinese food [Shanghai cuisine] at bargain prices, I recommend here! they used to cater for our international student ministry lunches & would never disappoint! my personal favorite is their crispy egg noodle chow mien with gravy .. your choice of chicken, beef, pork or vegetables in gravy to go with it =)

Approximate cost: $7-10

no such thing as free dinner? YES THERE IS~! [the 2 5 star ratings = because IT REALLY WAS FREE!] Hotel Orient had a promo for people with birthdays in Feb / Mar to enjoy a free dinner with 10 friends =) this is the first I've come across such a great deal & I was only too happy to oblige! while my friends & I enjoyed our time there being served by the friendly staff, the music was a little on the loud side to enjoy conversation without talking up abit. but the food was served in generous portions - did get to see the actual prices, so i can only say whatever you pay, your stomach will be filled with Mexican happiness =)

I'm always on the lookout for good value, yummy food on the go .. so if you're looking for a yummy, healthy, quick tummy-filler & delighter? you can't go wrong with Salsa's~! their Mexican menu of burritos, quesadillas, nachos etc are all sure to please~! even better, you can join their mex cub [simply ask for a card from one from the friendly staff, register online & you'll collect a point for every $10 you spend there [? i think!] AND you get a free birthday burrito on your birthday~! I'm ALWAYS for any place that gives away free food :D .. I'll be there again this year for my birthday burrito!! :D

Approximate cost: $A CARD

was recently brought here to sample the Frozen Yogurt fad that I've heard has been going on in Sydney - the menu looked uninteresting so i tried the pomegranate Frozen Yogurt with green tea mochi topping - but they'd run out of green tea mochi =( oh well, so i had the peanut mochi which was also yum :) the music was a bit loud for me, which was not conducive to conversation at all, so it wasn't a place i wanted to stay at for very long with my friends whom i only see occasionally. I'm pretty sure I could have a larger quantity of yummy, healthy yoghurt from the refrigerated food section at any supermarket .. i seriously don't know what's the rage with *frozen* yoghurt ..

Approximate cost: $3+
