This is my favourite Chinese restaurant. I have not dined in so cannot comment on service in there, but ordering take away is very easy. I find the staff to be pleasant, however, English is obviously not easy for them, which is fine. I love the mixed vegetables that they do and the honey chicken.

Approximate cost: $50

I found the actual shop itself a little disappointing. I didn't think they had a good range of products/toys for animals as other pet shops usually tend to. However, I did buy my little boy from there and found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful.

Approximate cost: $50

I love La Trat. I have been there on many occasions for both small and larger functions. They have the best pizzas in the world and the pastas are amazing as well. There is one waiter who is rude and creepy, but that's not enough to stop me from going back.

Approximate cost: $30

Lovely little cafe to sit, chill out and enjoy life. The laid back atmosphere, the beautiful gelati, coffee and cake make it a nice place to catch up with friends for coffee

The Central Markets is a beautiful market just to walk around and look at all the stalls. The fruit & vegetables are so fresh and cheaply priced. There is organic foods, asian foods, bakeries, lollies, gifts, newsagents etc etc, everything you require.

I went and initially was hating the experience, it was so confronting and daunting. Then one of the shop assistants helped me try on a few dresses and made it fun. We laughed together and she was totally honest with me. I found my perfect dress!

Approximate cost: $2500

I love that you can get designer brands for really quite cheap and they have a great selection of different shoes and different colours. Sometimes the service can be quite slow and unhelpful but that tends to be on their busier days (weekends).

Approximate cost: $100

Andersons have a great selection of ice creams and sorbet, but what I go there for are the hot dogs. We have been going there for years to get hot dogs. I know they are not the healthiest things, but they sure taste good!

Approximate cost: $5

I go to Olivers for products for my animals. They have a great range of products. They tend to only have 1 or 2 people serving, so it can be a bit slow when busy, but other than that, the people who work there are quite helpful

This is my favourite florist. I have used them for birthdays, get well presents and now have booked them to do my wedding flowers. Their work is truly beautiful and they will make up whatever type of bunch you wish.

Approximate cost: $100
