formerly known as Asia King, this newly refurnished and newly organised Chinese restaurant offers an authentic chinese eating experience which is both affordable and good quality. We've been 3 times in 3 weeks. The food is good and generous and just as good as chinatown without the parking hassles and the wait staff are not as rude. Whole steamed barra at less than $25 is a steal- succuulent, tasty and really good.

Approximate cost: $16

theres a lot of pizza competition on king st and doughboy has been around for years, so must be ok. And it is, ok. Nothing really super special about it- the pizzas were nice, the bases thin and the toppings sparse-ish. They really like their pesto there, so if you are not a pesto fan, the choices are limited. Good if you are down that end of king st, or you can get a student deal (or some sort of deal) but a little disappointing.

Approximate cost: $20

There are a few branches in Sydney of this Malaysian Hawker food chain and you would think that they are all fairly similar. wrong! Ive been to the city and the kingsford restaurant, and while the city store is still pretty good, it is not as good as the kingsford branch. Either way, its still offers good, solid authentic malay hawker food and yes, still well worth a visit.

Approximate cost: $14

this is the most authentic malay hawker food we have come across in sydney. Most of my favourites are available (which may be why i think its so good) rojak, chee chong fun and lomee. The only thing missing is popiah. Its been busy every time we have been but the service is fast (if a little fierce at time- hilarious!) and its a pretty big place. Its good, and closer than temasek in parramatta. interestingly, I've been to the city branch also, but strangely its not as good.

i havent had a li=ot of south american food, so have little to compare to, but the food was good, tasty and the serves generous. A few entrees and mains with specials, unfortunately the BBQ man had gone home sick so no charred meat. We tried this interesting stuffed potato number where the potatoes (special ones from sth america) are specially imported! btw the salad was forgettable. a bit pricey for a few leaves.

what a surprise this place was! a small cafe-like restaurant serving really fantastic italian food. Interesting and affordable, we really enjoyed dinner. Try the marrow and marmelade served with brioche and the hand made burrato (the caprese was pretty good to) the serves were good and there is a reasonable menu choice with blackboard specials mains $22-30). Far beyond the yawn yawn usual italian- you feel like you get your moneys worth and the food is solid. Its on the list. we'll be back.

Approximate cost: $25.00

I contacted ACS to get a bath and prices for fittings for my bathroom renos. They were really good getting back to me and organising delivery on time. They even held the bath in storage without charge until i needed it. The products are not the cheapest but you can find things that are not available elsewhere which is great. They also offer great after purchase service. I would reccommend this place if you are looking for something out of the ordinary and willing to pay. There are a few showrooms to view the products, the chatswood one was a little hard to finds, but if you are spending the money- you tend to persevere.

reliable builders are hard to find. These guys are realiable. They came they did the work, they cleaned and left- all within the agreed time, the agreed price and the work was really good. Quality, finishes, all the bells and whistles. Oh and the price was very favourable compared to 3 other quotes. I had a wall knocked down, floor replaces, bench shortened annd fixed, ceiling patched. all took 3 days, painted, sanded, polished. I couldnt be happier.

these guys did my bathrooms. They were reliable and honest. The price was very good compared to the other quotes I revived. They explained everything and came and went when they said they would. The work was amazing. I have had nothing but glowing compliments on the finished product. You can buy and pay for your own fittings or they will get them for you. I did a bit of both and was very pleased and surprised by the quality of stuff that they supplied. They do bathrooms and kitchens and I would not hesitate to get them to do my kitchen when the time comes.

authentic sourdough. Say no more. Its chewy, tasty and oh-so-good!. Fresh, toasted, sandwich etc etc. This is one of the best sourdoughs i have had. Its $8 and lasts ages. They also have other choices which i mean to try but Just cant go past the classic.
