Had to wait nearly 30 minutes for the entree, and then another 30 minutes for the mains to come. It is interesting as we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food was good, but not did not have quite the wow factor. Menu was your classic Chinese takeaway fare, but with a reef theme, such as sweet and sour reef fish, or honey prawns. A bowl of steamed rice cost nearly $7.00. I found this restaurant very expensive and service was slow.

Approximate cost: $25.00

Great value for money and great fun. We went on a snorkel dive at 2 reef locations at the Great Barrier Reef. The staff were friendly and helpful. Included was a lunch and entertainment. You can hire wetsuits and digital cameras to use for a small fee which proves to be convenient when you do not want to buy or bring your owns. Plenty of fish to see. Great fun.

Approximate cost: $150.00

This review is for Elysium Apartments, Palm Cove QLD

We rented a studio type apartment, for 4 days. The apartments are not serviced, so your towel does not get changed unless you books for a longer stay. Staff were friendly at reception, but that was the last time we saw them as they are not in the building after 4:30pm. There is a decent sized pool for guests which is nice. If you like to keep to yourself, then this might be the place for you. I found it was rather pricey at approximately $150 a night.

This review is for Laksa King, Flemington VIC

The best laksa I have had and has been consistent every time I have been. The food comes our super quick and the service is friendly. The restaurant itself is comfortable and clean. Location is tricky to find, but worth the hunt. I recommend the seafood laksa, it is tasty and great value. Restaurant is very busy at times, so maybe booking a table ahead of time might help.

This review is for Ajisen Ramen, Melbourne VIC

Very friendly and attentive service, fast as well. They always greet you when you come through the door. The pricing is cheap and the menu has a great range of dishes and not all ramen. Great place for a quick cheap feed. I've been here 4 times now and each time I have come out satisfied. I recommend.

This review is for Taco Truck, Collingwood VIC

Tacos were ok, nothing that really stood out. The servings were small even with the two beef tacos and the meagre amount of corn chips. Service was slow and the guy taking the order seemed unenthusiastic. As the taco truck is a mobile restaurant it is never in the same place.

I friendly atmosphere and great food in this little restaurant. The dishes are deceivingly large and filling. One of a kind cuisine for North Melbourne, tricky to find but worth the hunt. Service is attentive and friendly and food is cheap.

This review is for Persian Flavours, Richmond VIC

I had the Lamb Biryani and it was very delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly and was very flavoursome and not too overpowering. Service was great, but there were some issues with language with regards to ordering. The food came out quickly. The restaurant itself had more of a cafe feel, and I believe hey actually do serve coffee during the day too. Great place to call in to if you are in Richmond.

Approximate cost: $18.00

Excellent and attentive service. We had a three course meal and all dishes were great. There was a good variety on the menu and my favourite was the Tuna scallopini. The outdoor seating was perfect with the cool evening breeze. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality.

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Pete's Place, Palm Cove QLD

A good cheap eat in Palm Cove and decent too. Had the cheese burger and it was fresh and had a nice tasty beef patty. I also tried the Garlic Ball, be careful as it was a chicken ball with a hot melted glob of garlic butter inside. It was a bit dry but still tasty. Chip servings are good, we had a medium size and it was enough to feed two. Service was quick. Must admit the outdoor seating was ok, but nothing flash.

Approximate cost: $10.00
