There is a huge selection of goods here for you to browse and buy. Give yourself a bit of time, because doing either will take a while. There's a lot of weird and wonderful things that fits the bill of 'you can't do without' or think that someone will like.
It's definitely worth a visit. So pop down today :0)

They're there when you need them, they're there when you don't.
But expect a decent meal if you do. Not saying they're better than any other Chinese restaurant, but you can be guaranteed the food will be of a consistent quality.
Also a good place for a nightcap. We've come here on occasion for the late night congee

Just walking past and just had to stop. I'm sorry, if you don't stop when you see these creations, you're either: dead, seen it many times, a hippie who doesn't appreciate good art or someone allergic to life.
If you're not one of the above, you will stop and marvel. I'm just disappointed it was closed when I went past and I didn't get to go inside and try.

Very good doesn't quite to this place justice. It's a winner of best restaurant or something 4 years running, so it's got to keep up its reputation.
So get there and get seated promptly. There are ample staff to take out orders and ensure we have everything we need in a timely fashion. Orders are taken quickly and food is served promptly.
Loved the service though. They would always have this sense that I was almost out of rice and be there just in time to serve me another serving.
Got to the point I wanted to tell them they were lax for not topping up my rice, but I never got the chance!
Highly recommended

This review is for TenRen's Tea, Chatswood NSW

Standard place. Has some interesting concoctions and desserts. Wouldn't say I'd come here again often, but I guess it's somewhere that's open when others are closed.
We (3) had:
Sweet potato tea - sweet potato pieces in some milky substance. Not sure which part had tea in it. Couldn't taste the tea even.
Green tea icecream - was nice in a standardy sort of way
Cake - can't remember what it was, but looked nice. He said it tasted nice. But nice isn't extraordinary. So standard again.

This review is for Hot Pot King, Eastwood NSW

Yum. Ordered the congee x 3 (we had 4 people) and a pot rice. All of them were very tasty and of the larger portion sizes. It's one of those "only locals would really know about this place" kind of establishment.
Well, I'm no local, but now I know about this place I'll be back there for sure if I'm in the area again.
Not much sitting area though... I think they need to expand somehow.

This review is for A&R Computer Services, Adelaide SA

It's the computer shop that same as all other computer shops.
However, it was interesting to note that the dude behind the counter was very willing to match prices for me. All I had to do was mention a place and he'd more or less accept my word... more based on his judgement and experience than that I'm just a very trusting guy.
He also said to come see him for any prices matching and they'd be happy to assist.

This review is for Vietnam Gourmet, Millswood SA

I'll give these guys a good mark coz I'm a nice sort of guy.
I went with a friend and there was no one there when we went. However, I'll add that we went very early. I had a green rice soft shell crab. They couldn't tell me what it was when I ordered it. That was a bit disappointing.
However, it came out in good time and tasted very nice. Kudos to them.
I might come again if I can't think of anything better. But that's not a hard thing so I probably won't get the chance.

This review is for Bee Calm Balms, Roxby Downs SA

Ok so it's a friend, but I would like to point out I'm very objective in terms of the final product. If I don't like it, I'll tell them truthfully. But in this case, I ordered some lip balms, massage oil and a candle (called a coconut creampie... *snigger*)
That aside, I must compliment the chef on her creations. My gf loves the stuff and loved more the massage I gave her with the oil. Haven't tried the candle yet, but I'm sure it's good to the last drop (pun intended)

Ooh, and if you can find her, she also offers remedial massage and the like because she's trained in this stuff.

This review is for Piccolo's Cafe/Espresso Bar, Rozelle NSW

Had to find somewhere for lunch, so this place looked accommodating. Went in and it was relatively busy. Still, got a table and found out there was a back "garden" area for dining. Looked nice, but there wasn't space. So sat back out the front.
Took a while for them to serve us and it took a while for the food.
Can't even say that I was impressed by the food.
Actually, can't really say I was impressed by this place at all.
Would have rathered this little bakery that we stopped in before we came in here.
