Temasak

Location: Paramatta, Roxxy Arcade, corner of George Street and Smith Street.

Food: Singaporean, Malaysian

Review: requires booking to get a table. cost of mains are between $12 - $30. servings are considered huge. service rating depends on who's serving you and whether they are in a good mood that day. Food wise - closest to what we can get in Singapore. but of course, not as good. We had Hokkien Mee (Singapore Style), up to my standard but just need that small little lime to make it complete. Denise had Nasi Lemak. not that good. Sambal suits me but not her in terms of spicyness and the rice is not as fragrant. Laksa was better than expected. the chicken rice next to our table, looks really good. not sure if it tastes as good but certainly ought to give it a shot from the looks.

Rating: 8/10

Conclusion: will be back for the desserts and other food. if time permits, go for the lunch special. $9.90 from 11am - 2.30pm M-F. Recommended

Eagle Boys Pizza

always heard that their pizza are not bad but have not try them before.
what good chance when you don't have a rice cooker at the moment and a shop just opened in Randwick with discount vouchers in your letter box.

we had the combo - traditional bacon and egg, mediterranean pizza and a penne cabornara.
service was pretty bad at first - but that is expected........

the pizza was pretty good actually. I would say better than dominos/pizza hut but not as good as those wood-fire pizza (crust)
I personally like the cabonara. just enough baked cheese at the top.

Rating: 7.5/10
Conclusion: will be ordering more if the prices are lower and there's one near my new place!!

Shinara

Location: Pitt Street near Liverpool Street

Food: Korean cusine, BBQ buffet

Review: lunch buffet at $10. BBQ excluded. normal Korean cuisine including rice, fried chicken, kim chi, tofu dishes, bulgogi chicken and pork, miso soup etc. dinner buffet $19.90 everything mentioned plus BBQ. tasteless food. feel you are eating nothing but meat and more meat. not value for money at all. BBQ makes your clothes smell of smoke. no extra plates provided, plates are expected to be reuse after making your rounds from the various but tasteless selection.

Rating: 2/10

1 point for their advertisement and 1 point for their ability to trick me into the restaurant.

Conclusion: avoid if you can. many more Korean restaurants open opposite and along Liverpool Street. Don't be fool by the buffet

Burgerlicious

Location: Along Liverpool Street, near to Pitt Street in Sydney but there are other branches around

Food: Fast Food

Price: Burger only $8+, Meal 11.50+

Review: Meal consists of a burger, salad or chips and water or can of drink. You get to choose from different types of chicken and beef burgers (8 types each). Difference between them are generally the sauce. I had one of the grilled chicken burgers. Pretty good I must say, chicken done just right with the right amount of lettuce, tomatoes and avocadoes that doesnt wooze out when you take your first bite. chips were like small size, takeaway has bigger portion of chips, according to Denise.

Rating: 7/10

Conclusion: nice burger, not value for money, too expensive for fast food. will be back if I really have a big craving for large juicy burgers.

Little Rocks Café

Location: North Rocks Westfield, nr Kmart

Food: Breakfast

Price: Above average approx $15 for full brekkie.

Review: pretty value for money. reasonable quantity, never a fan of small quantity. I’ve got bacon, toast, sausages and scrambled eggs. Denise got eggs benedict with leg ham while Letty got the same as me with poached eggs. Poached eggs were slightly overcooked, without the yolk flowing when given the first poke which is always intriguing , to me at least. Scrambled eggs were abit runny according to Denise but I found it acceptable. More importantly, the place did serve us well for a Saturday “brunch” brekkie after going on a house inspection on our empty stomach. Coffee was all right and the Mochacinno is recommended. Not a coffee fan but the coffee was made just right.

Rating: 7.5/10

Conclusion: Will be back for more.

Cuisine: Yum Cha

Food: 3.5/5

Service: 2.5/5

Comments: did not find anything special with the food. higher expectations given the crowd and many recommendations. might be the promotions.
