Visited Wet and Wild on a family vacation with a few family members who were a bit concerned about heights, we were looking forward to have a bit of a laze in the Calypso Beach section and the wave pool but sadly Calypso was closed and we kept getting told off for going anywhere near the 75% part of the end of the wave pool. Ended up being a little substandard really, still an enjoyable experience overall but probably not one I'd repeat for a while.

Approximate cost: $40

Great frozen foods grocery with aisles of frozen seafood, meat, dumplings, fruit, just amazing! Also for durian aficionados they have the red packets of thai durian for $5.50 a box, so far one of the cheapest I've seen. Love shopping in here for things to just chuck in a hot pot or some of that soft shell crab, definitely a place to check out next time you're in the area.

We are long time customers of this restaurant and always enjoy the BBQ Modum where they allow us to swap ox tongue for stone beef at no extra charge. Free refills of side dishes and and a responsive staff (they have the electronic bells for attention) make this a good reliable Korean BBQ joint. They also have a separate charcoal BBQ section which is worth trying but compared to somewhere like Wooga opposite Vic Market, unfortunately these guys just can't match the quality of their meat.

While deciding on the stars above I was actually trying to find ways to add on stars but unfortunately failing to find any redeeming features. I don't particularly like to one-star a business so two is about as low as I go. My issue is that I have been trying to port my number across for 5 months now and have visited the Chadstone shop 4 times. So far I have spent $32, I have a total of 3 sim cards and still have not had my number ported over. Often the feeling of service you get when visiting there is of someone who would rather you not be there and that hopefully you will give up on their product and stop bothering them. Well, fortunately for them, they have succeeded in this instance. Goodbye Telstra. On the plus side, I guess they are an operational telecommunications outlet after all.

This has been a mainstay of my Asian grocery sources when I used to live in the cbd and now whenever I visit I still pop in and great a few items. Good range and neat clean shelves more so than the grocery on Russell st. Some items are a little pricier but for the convenience I'm quite happy to put up with a small price hike. Frozen foods and some basic veggies also available here.

One of our favorite dining places for quality wagyu BBQ, we tend to order the Jo-karubi and Jo-tan instead of the buffet as we worked out it is a similar price for a better product. Recently let down by likely new staff which led to a long delay in service of an hour. Still very high quality wagyu and hopefully just a once off staffing issue.

Approximate cost: $30

Shopped here a few times now and was quite impressed by the selection and prices. They recommend using their online website but it's just a bit too convoluted and much more fun reading the games and browsing. The staff member I had so far basically said he doesn't play boardgames so...I thought that was a bit odd and sadly he couldn't recommend any games. Still good prices and selection make this a worthwhile visit for boardgames in Melbourne!

Approximate cost: $Varies

Loved it, a lot more composed than its Cbd counterpart with friendly staff. Got the mango shaved ice cream with boba popping balls and mango sauce. This was likely enough to have enough been a main meal with three spoons provided they probably expected it to feed three people! Let's just say nothing was left at the end of the dining experience!

Approximate cost: $10

Have been to this place many times and while with consistent service never ever expect a smile or friendliness here. The food itself is reasonably priced, had the combination roast pork and duck on rice which was adequate. No issues getting a table at 1pm on a Saturday arvo either.
