This clinic has been our family's dentist for nearly ten years now (having relocated a few years ago). Every time we go, we receive superb service. Each and every one of the dentists are very thorough (we have seen a few, don't really insist on a particular doctor, just whichever once is there), and leave our teeth feeling clean and healthy. A downside is the long waiting period (they're normally booked out for weeks, even months in peak season), but it's well worth the wait for the work they put into making your teeth clean.
Dentists are very helpful concerning our oral health as well, as we are often suggested how to further improve our teeth's conditions through constant at-home treatment.

We had an electrical contractor from this company, sub-contracted by NuEnergy. The solar panel installation went relatively well (or so we first thought). The process was relatively quick and hasslesome (on our side) at first. And at a little over $2000, it was a good bargain.
However, we later found out we needed a CCEW, of which we had to chase up through NuEnergy (the electrician did not leave us a copy).
Then, after we had our meter installed, we found out the solar system had a lot of technical flaws. The conduit couplings were not glued, and the wrong one was used in one instance. Additionally, the wiring was tacky, with a potential danger of an electrical fire, and the proper labelling was not done. This involved more chasing up on our behalf.
Overall, we were very disappointed at Complete Wiring Service. The standard was just not up-to-scratch unfortunately.

Approximate cost: $2300

We had a quote relatively fast, and was able to get an appointment in very quick! The price was reasonable - slightly cheaper than a few which I called around for, so that was good.
The solar meter was installed very fast, we only had to wait a couple of days before he came back to install it. The electrical work was of a very high standard. You could tell he knew what he was doing as he even advised us of all the flaws our previous electrician performed on our solar panel (which we had to get fixed).
Overall, a very good electrician who knew what he was doing, and delivered the utmost quality !

Approximate cost: $325

I always have a sweet tooth for pastries and cakes. This place offers reasonable muffins, cookies, brownies, cakes, the whole lot. I also like their pork rolls, although at $4.20, they are on the expensive side, and they are not that good (Cabramatta will always be the place for Viet food). I find their bags of buns also quite expensive for what they are - plain bread.
The prices are pretty cheap compared to chain stores such as Michel's, however they are still not the cheapest around.
However, the ladies are always smiling and ready to help, good sign from a store like this.

Approximate cost: $3.00

We had our 1.5kw Solar PV system installed for about $2299.
They said it was 'fully installed'. Now for me, just simply putting the panels and inverters in is not 'fully installed'. The electrician told us that everything was 'completed'. So, we sat around for about 2 months thinking it was done and someone would come and sort everything out, before we decided to call and ask what exactly was happening. Then we found out that we had to lodge an application to connect it to the grid. (Should have known before). So here we are now, missing out on the Government's 60c rebate.
Nu-Energy badly misinformed us.
Additionally, the electrician they sent out to us was not of very good quality, our switchboard was left in poor condition, as he left it loose. Our meter-installer was the one to inform us that it was potentially fatal, as the exposed wires would cause an electrical shock and kill anyone who accidently touched the board or wires. Thankfully he fixed it up for us.
Nu-Energy disappointed us. The price seemed great and cheap for a solar system, but now we don't know how many years it will be until we get that money back.

Approximate cost: $2299

I came into the store sceptical - as many know, the markets aren't a place for good quality, but the prices here are very reasonable. The prices start from around $8 a bra up to 2 for $25. I'm a smaller bust girl, so it was easy to find my size, but I find they also cater for a lot of bigger sizes, F's, J's, you name it. The assistant was pretty helpful too, actually knew what she was talking about. Really great bras. Find myself coming back for more. I reckon it's one of the hidden treasures of Parklea Markets.

Approximate cost: $15
