Came here last Sunday for my birthday yum cha with friends. It was so crowded before the doors opened at 11am for the first session. We booked a table for 4 so we were seated downstairs at at corner. However the trolleys were rather slow and we have to keep ordering otherwise nothing will turn up on our table. I suppose it's the weekend so it's packed with people. We didn't eat much but it costs us nearly $20.90 per head - we didn't even order any dessert or prawn rice roll.
But the grilled calamari was good, not oily and no batter.

I came here in April for a high tea with my parents to celebrate birthday. Service was excellent. It's $60 per head for a buffet high tea. The scones were fluffy and soft. It came with whipped cream, jams, lychees. There were many petite quiches, array of egg and salmon sandwiches, various types of ice creams, cake slices, chocolate fondue fountain- dark, milk and white choc. Plenty of fruits to choose and we chose Earl Grey Tea for our drinks. I must say the place is classy and service with food was excellent. If you have dietary problem, the waitress or chef will personally come to talk to you.

I visited this place when I was down with bad urticaria and IBS symptoms. I took Accupuncture and though everything was claimable via my Private insurance but it was still costly.

No doubt service was good and people were polite but they didn't drill down to the main problem. After spending so much, nothing helped and at the end I changed my entire lifestyle and diet with rectified my main problem.

I always come to Cacao Green for its desserts especially the waffles topped with strawberries and nuts. It comes in a set with the drink so it might be a bit pricey but good to share.
It has various types of yoghurts and even matcha tea which I loved it.

This Uni-Qlo building is the biggest in Melbourne site. It has several levels inside the Emporium Building. Try going to the LG floor where specials and red tickets are found there. That floor usually has the cheapest clothing. Service was good though I wish there were more fitting rooms.
Prices of Uniqlo clothing are always best when it's on sale.
The winter clothings are reasonable and good.

I've ordered the Penang Char Koay Teow and Kuih Dadar (pandan green crepe filled with coconut) for dinner. The koay teow was cooked nicely with some pork bits with seafood. Nice and a good portion. I was given extra chilli since I requested it to be spicy. The dessert was a bit fusion since kuih dadar has topping of ice cream and berries but quite expensive.
Overall the hawker food met its standard...I liked it.

Our 2 nights at this Karratha International Hotel brought us to this brasserie. It was super quiet in the morning and the continental breakfast was not much of selection. $22.50 for a buffet continental breakfast was rather expensive.
Dinner selection was standard...I had the salmon with buckwheat noodles which was good. The other fish dish on the dinner menu was a rip off and so small portion. Overall it's so-so, expensive and what can you expect in Karratha.
However service was good.

It's the next happening place in Karratha town. Ha ha! It's situated next to the new Pelago West Apartments in the town. New place, bar, good food and atmosphere. Prices were reasonable. I had the Caesar Salad with prawns and it was great. Too much cruttons though...
We ordered the Spanish churros but it wasn't great, too soft and not crunchy enough. Service was great... but took a while for the Entrees' to come out.

First time we had lunch at here, it was fantastic and cheap. Portions were huge. It's a small little restaurant situated next to Woolies and parking can be a problem if u come late. The Lunch weekend special Hainan Chicken rice is just $7.90. Recommended is the Char Koay Teow and Singapore Noodles. The entrees were a bit expensive though. Desserts were okay. Best of all u get free beancurd pudding after the meal.

We had breakfast here 2 days in a row...food was good and portions were huge too. For the price we paid, it was worth it! I had the pancakes served with bananas, maple syrup and fresh cream, it was delicious! Coffee and hot drinks were good too. The service was fast and it's packed during the mornings. Good deal and location is fantastic too!
