This review is for Kotaraya Malaysian Restaurant, Oakleigh South VIC

verified email - 28 Aug 2015

It was too overated with people visiting Kotaraya for its Hainan Chicken Rice. Due to its Malaysia and Nyonya cuisines, my friend and I decided to try this place. It's packed before lunch time on weekend which i was expected- but to wait for a chicken rice on a plate for 1/2 hour or more- forget it!

Nothing that spectacular...i saw the dishes came out served on the table- I could easily make the Hainan Chic Rice myself now that I've mastered the recipe from home as in Penang.
There are plentiful of good M'sian restaurants to eat Chicken rice than this place.

This review is for Hugo's Cafe & Dessert Bar, Glen Waverley VIC

Located at the corner shop in Glen's main eating spree area, Hugo's Cafe and Dessert Bar is a definitely a heaven paradise for those who lurrve sweets. Their most famous is the Nutella Donut and it looks soft, puffy and topped with nutella and icing sugar. Yes- it looks devilish and unhealthy but once a while to indulge in such dessert is fine.

Small shop but lots of unique desserts like Bakclava which is also a famous dessert from this shop. In fact there are many different type of Nutella donuts- some with cherry, cookies and cream, original...etc. One could go nuts by starring at the main window of the shop filled with pretty pastries and cakes.

We had a good look around at the menu and place- Fed Sq seems a strategic location and menu wise is pretty good. It's a nice place for a quick meal and after all opposite the train station and tram stops. You can book via DIMMI website otherwise just walk up to the Taxi Kitchen on weekdays it's quite empty during lunch hour.

A rather strange shape of the restaurant. If rented for office functions, I'd say NO because of the strange shape and too packed. No place to move at the corner and no way to put a radio DJ..etc. Just for a catch up meal and hang out it's fine.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Oree Korean Duck BBQ restaurant, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 28 Aug 2015

I had the opportunity to try this new Korean Duck BBQ Restaurant at a strange location where it might not be popular on weekends since it's at Queen St where it's a working business district. Got it on Scoop On Voucher while it's on sale- ordered the duck BBQ set comes in side dishes, entree- everything was duck from duck pancake, steamed egg, BBQ duck and rice.
We even got the Patbingsoo (Shaved red bean ice) and it was alright- not that fantastic compared to the ones I had in Korea.

U need to book in advance - probably because of the voucher thing otherwise there are other better Korean restaurants in centre of CBD than this one stuck at the working offices. Free Wi-Fi is availabe in store. Service is OK.

Approximate cost: $21

Visited this joint with some friends from overseas. We just wanted to catch up for a drink so we ordered some Nachos with topped with cheese, avocado and jalapenos. Yum! It was to share and we have some drinks such as Lemon Lime Bitters and Mint Tonic. Overall service was pleasant, nice area and good food. I wouldn't mind visiting this place again for a proper sit down meal and drinks.

Approximate cost: $23

Was given a treat to this restaurant in Chinatown CBD. However it didn't live up to its standards. The service was so-so and food was average too. Nothing very special about this place.
I didn't foot the bill however the prices were average for a standard chinese restaurant. Overall it was moderate but there are better Chinese restaurants in the city than to eat in this place.

This review is for Monarch Cake Shop, St Kilda VIC

I've been to this bakery since I was in Uni-days in 1999 and until today I visit this place when weather's good at St Kilda. Love this joint where plenty of beautiful tarts, pastries and cake slices are available. Small shop but amazing desserts on display. Even my friend from overseas remember this shop and loved its strawberry tart.

Approximate cost: $10.0

This review is for Menya Sandaime, Melbourne VIC

The 24 hr Jap ramen restaurant is the first opened in Melbourne CBD. It's quite a small restaurant nestled at Russell St. It's beside the Nam Loong and ChinaBar restaurant. Ambience is pretty cool and rustic looking. I ordered the Black Ramen ($12.90) and it came in a small portion in such a big bowl- 2 pieces of pork belly and half an egg with a hefty price. The noodles was chewy nice but the pork slices and everything else was just plain and nothing spectacular. Even the hot green tea came in a can ($3.00) instead of a teabag in a cup!

I'd pay to eat at Ajisen Ramen at anytime than to eat the 2nd time at this place. And to think they have so many stores in South Korea but this was just plain noodles. Too expensive for the portion and nothing that fanciful to be queue up for this store.

Approximate cost: $15.9

This review is for Park Real Estate, Boronia VIC

Few years back I went through this real estate agent to find a house to buy. Their follow ups was pretty good and they are trying their best to keep finding the right property for a buyer to purchase.
Until today after I bought my house, they kept following up on their potential clients to see if one still requires any needs.

One can get any boating supplies from safety knives, ropes, lights..etc at this online shop. I usually purchase them on behalf for my company's vessels. Their prices are reasonable and delivery time is efficient too. Only pain is sometimes to keep reminding to get the Tax Invoice to deliver to our office.

Approximate cost: $50
