Most days during the week whilst at work in Clayton South, is is where I get my lunch. This Vietnamese bakery not only has a wide selection of items, the value is second to none. I normally get one of their freshly made rolls, of which e quality and freshness is paramount. With prices starting a $3.80 for a roast pork roll and the most expensive being $4.50 for a chicken roll or a kransky roll with cheese and onion, you definately get more than your money's worth. The variety is such that I go most days during the week and always enjoy. Being a bakery they also have a range of breads and baked goodies, and the recent addition of their espresso machine, (with a coffee at only $3 for a small or $3.50 for a medium) you are sure to find breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea here. Highly recommend.

One night I was looking for a nice easy meal for dinner. I went down to Pier St to see what peaked my appetite. I was looking at the menu in the window of Mai Vang Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant. The host took the time to come out of the shop and asked if I needed help. I told him I was looking for something tasty and full of vegetables. He asked a few questions to help me decide and I asked him what he recommended based on my choices, to which he suggested a Peking Pork. I took it home with a side of steamed rice. It was FANTASTIC. It was fresh and delicious. The vegetables were so fresh and abundant that I immediately felt I was getting a needed health boost. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I will definately be going back for more and happy to recommend. They also offer a delivery option and the host gave me a menu and also offered that I could call and order for pickup so it could be ready upon arrival.

I had purchased a really nice jacket from a warehouse that was badly soiled with a rust looking substance. I took it to Altona Dry Cleaners to see if they could bring it back to life. When I said I couldn't identify the stain they were honest and said they couldn't guarantee results. I thought as the jacket was purchased cheaply I would at least give it a go. Upon getting the jacket back, I was amazed. They had done a fantastic job and removed all stains and had it looking good as new. With added convenience of a drive in service and reasonable cost, I am very happy to recommend.
