This review is for Noggi, Strathfield NSW

Noggi is a frozen yoghurt store that is slowly opening its doors around the neighbourhoods of Sydney.

I personally prefer Noggi because their frozen yoghurt is a little richer, both in terms of flavour and texture, and they generally put more into a cup. They also have a size meant for sharing with friends, and are generous with topping portions.
If they're being a bit stingy on the toppings, just ask them to put more on as they're doing it (;

Most people have a preference as to whether they prefer Moochi (competitor around the corner) or Noggi, but I find that Noggi likes to experiment a bit with flavours and toppings and I find that refreshing.

TL;DR, give it a go, it's a little more expensive than other froyo places, but really good quality and there are seats up the back (:

Approximate cost: $5 - $10

This review is for Hondarake, Sydney NSW

Hondarake is a second-hand Japanese book store in the city that I like to visit before I head to Kinokuniya.

I won't go so far as to say they're cheap, but prices are reasonable. One thing though, if you plan on coming back another day hoping to find it cheaper, bad luck. Prices there are as is and it'll probably be gone by the time you come back.

That said, the stuff there isn't amazing. You'll have to search long and hard before finding something that is interesting to someone who's only interested in the Japanese pop culture. The things that are good won't be there more than a week, but most other things will be there for a while, so don't expect too many new things every time you visit.

Shop owners are friendly, and they do have sales from time to time. Give it a go if you haven't already, you might be able to pick up some bargains.

TL;DR prices are ok, goods are ok, more for natives, but give it a go.

This review is for Siam Kingdom, Newington NSW

I'm a regular here, frequently abuse the free delivery service and dessert with dinner! Food is great, it's definitely one of my favourite Thai restaurants and the prices aren't unreasonable.

There's nothing on the menu that I haven't liked (yet). And the anything that says "chilli" isn't actually that spicy..

Possibly the most important thing to know about this place is that portions for curry is enough for two if you order rice, so don't get carried away when you order..

Approximate cost: $13 - $18
