My husband and I are very pleased with Ruth's service from beginning until the end.

When we first contacted Ruth, she was very friendly on the phone and we met her at her place at Dundas Valley for the first time to go through all the details.

Ruth was very approachable and explained everything very well. Since we are not religious, Ruth also gave options for speeches, all information needed for a wedding ceremony. We worked very well together, she understood what we wanted and took the time to chat with us.

Details were confirmed over email or phone and next time we met was on our wedding day.

Ruth dressed very professionally and spoke very well and all our guests understood and liked her as well.

Highly recommend Ruth Inglis for your services

Here is where I usually come for a quick lunch as I work nearby.

It is almost like a cafeteria style bowl bar. You arrive and enter through one door and you need to pick up a black tray. Also, don't forget to grab your cold drinks from the fridge if you want any and they have black sesame and green tea smoothies as well for very very reasonable prices.

You order with one of the friendly staff, and they put the bowl on your tray and you move on to the individual priced small dishes. For example chicken karaage, fish, beef croquette, seaweed salad, potato salad for extra $1.50 to $3 depending what they are.

Once you have got everything you want, next stop is the cashier who will calculate everything for you. Pick up some cutlery and off you go to find a place to seat!

I love the chicken karaage with soft boiled eggs, had their curry beef with rice before. Everything was very nice and very cheap.

crowded with lots of students and people who work in the area.

This shop is located right on the corner of Goulbourn and Dixon Streets and usually always crowded especially on the weekend and evenings.

They have many types of Taiwanese dessert options, I love their sweet potato and taro balls. I always ask for extra topping with cost of 60 cents (if im not mistaken)

My favourites are Taro Balls dessert no.4 (Taro+Red Beans+Pearls) and Herbal Jelly Signature dish (Cold: Herbal Ice+Taro Balls+Cream)

You arrive, make your order and pay at the counter, they give you a buzzer and you take a seat, once your order is ready, they will buzz you.

This is a great credit card service and not easy to get approved.

My husband has one and I am an additional card holder, we have had this for over 5 years and loving it especially great if you travel overseas a lot.

As mentioned by previous reviewer, apart from the NO conversion fee, NO forex transaction fee, you can also top up your credit card and use as a debit card overseas. For example if your 28 degrees card has $2,000 limit, you can add $500 top up and use your own money overseas instead of using 28 degrees money.

Not easy to get approved though, I tried applying on my own but was rejected. Although I was approved by other banks for a credit card with similar amount.

Love Love Love Vinny's Pizza.

Usually I am not a big pizza fan but I love Vinny's pizzas especially Chicken Paradise, very good and yummy.

Had the Supreme and others which are excellent as well.

Staff are ok - no fuss. Also, this is a take away pizza shop with two tables seating but no one really eats there (haven't seen anyone anyway)

We are about 5 mins out of their delivery route and only can do pick-ups unfortunately (or fortunately otherwise we might have it way too often)

Definitely recommend you to try this.

This is one of may Asian supermarkets in Eastwood and this is quite a big one.

They offer lots of different products from cold section to dried and canned food, lots of different confectionery and snacks from Asian countries. Whatever I need from Asian grocery store, they usually have them. Don't have any complains.

One thing I noticed, they also stock fresh durian in the cold section. Durian is something you either love or hate, if you love them and sick of the frozen durian.... this supermarket stocks FRESH durian with about 4-5 small seeds durian in a plastic clear box products of Malaysia. This small box costs about $13 but it is really good and fresh, doesn't have that frozen taste to it. Look out for it in cold fridge section if you love durian :)

This is my second café to go to especially on Sundays as they are opened until 5 or 5.30pm when the main café I normally go to does not open on Sundays.

Been coming here for the past month or so every Sundays, the coffee is always consistent and very good in my opinion. They also have some snacks, pastries like friend, banana bread etc.

They have about 8 small tables which can seat up to 20 pax.

Definitely recommend this café as they make really good coffee (better than Michel's pattiserie across the arcade)

Price is reasonablee

Since everyone had commented on their churros, I will comment on the drinks.

Original San Churro started in Glebe and it is always crowded before the chain stores started to open up in several suburbs.

My absolute favourite drink here is the Hot & Cold - "A steaming classic cooled down with a succulent scoop of white chocolate ice cream" - taken from their website and cost $6.95

Basically it is thick hot chocolate and they put a big scoop of white chocolate ice cream in there and it melts and makes everything so much better. I mean it is hot and cold, you can eat the ice cream with the hot chocolate.... or sip your warm creamy hot chocolate with the ice cream on the side.

Now I am babbling, anyway if you haven't had this, YOU MUST give it a go :)

This place has been my regular once a week shopping routine visit at Eastwood. All my fruits and vegies for the week for two people can be purchased here for around $20 to $30. Very good value for money.

Quality of products are really good and fresh.

Customer service is almost none but if you need something they will respond and assist - just not with a 5* hotel attitude ;)

This place can get very very busy and hard to move around especially on the weekend and after work.

Went there yesterday to grab some fruits, they had a whole box of longan for $10 (was the last box) I shared it with another customer so paid $5 for a whole heaps of longans. very happy!!!

Decided to give Chin Chin a go when I visited Melbourne with my family and we arrived early for lunch around 11ish and there were no queue!! Yay..

We were seated by friendly staff by the window near the entrance. Love the menu and the atmosphere but I think it would have been a lot better if it was crowded and after work, buzzing with the crown.

What we ordered, the kingfish sashimi with basil, lime etc it was so refreshing and fresh with a hint of coconut. It was absolute delish! Caramelised pork belly, what can go wrong with this dish.

I wish I could go back there, maybe when I visit Melbourne again one day :)

Definitely highly recommend Chin Chin!
