Jin Yan
Jin Yan
Address: 77 Castle Street, Castle Hill
Telephone: 8858 4848
Jin Yan is a Chinese restaurant that mainly serves seafood meals. I was disappointed with the service. The service took a while to bring our foods out and by the time the food came onto the table it was cold, but when we notified the staff they were very cooperative. Another problem was the noise in the restaurant. The noise did ruin the restaurant experience for me. I ordered the Salt Pepper Lobster which, when it was heated for me again, tasted amazing.

Pappa Rich
Pappa Rich
Address: Shop 5, 185 Broadway, Ultimo, 2007 NSW
Telephone: 9281 3228
Pappa Rich is a Malaysian restaurant that serves different types of asian cuisine. I was very impressed with this restuarant. One thing that stood out the most to me was the way we had to order our food - it was different to the conventional restaurant way. The servers ushered us to a table and handed us a paper and pencil were we had to write our order number for the food we wanted and at the end we had to press the buzzer on the table to call the waitress to give the paper to the chef. This made it easier for me and my friend to speak comfortably about which food we wanted and take as much time in choosing our meals.
I chose to taste the biryani rice and tandoori plate with naan (bread). I choose the tandoori plate because the description said the chicken would be spicy, but unfortunately my chicken was not even close to spicy. I was disappointed with that. Also the naan tasted a bit sweet which was not what I was expecting - and did not suit my taste buds. The side dishes of korma and the mayonnaise salad were both very nice. I absolutely loved the spicy biryani rice, it made up for the mediocre tandoori plate.
Overall, I give this restaurant a 3.5/5

Rashay's
Rashay's
Whenever you want to go out with friends or family - Rashay's is the place to go. This restaurant is very affordable, so it is great for anyone who is trying to save up on money but still want to experience restaurant quality food.
This restaurant was first situated in Liverpool, but due to its popularity it has branched out to different areas around Sydney. Now there is a Rashay's in Liverpool, Mount Druitt, Campelltown, North Rocks, Punchbowl, Penrith and Narellan.
When I arrived at Rashays (Mount Druitt), I was very delighted with the service of the restaurant. All of the wait staff of Rashays were very kind and assisted me and my friend in choosing an item from the numerous types of meals available on their menu. Rashays provides kids meals, seafood, pasta, chicken, pizza and several different types of desserts. I chose the grilled chicken and chips ($13.90), and my friend chose the grilled chicken salad ($16.90). Although we did have to wait for a while for our food, we were rewarded with the amazing meal that was prepared. The grilled chicken was moist and the chips were fresh. My friend was also happy with her meal. After our meals we both ordered dessert - mud cake sensation ($9.90). That mud cake tasted amazing. The cake was still warm and the ice cream on top was such a treat.

(Grilled Chicken Salad)
(Mud Cake Sensation)
Overall I was very happy with the quality of food and the service that Rashays delivered. The only downside was the waiting time for our food, but that was just a minor hiccup to a great Rashays experience. I will be sure to come back!
Overall experience 4.2/5

Hogs Breath Café
Hogs Breath Café
Address: Shop 4005, Level 4 Westpoint Shopping Centre
- Lunch
- Mon to Sun 11:30am - 3pm
- Dinner
- Mon to Fri 5pm - 11pm
- Sat to Sun 3pm - 11pm
After a long tiring day of walking around the shops, aimlessly window
shopping and occasionally shopping, the rumbling of my stomach reminds
me of my need to refuel. Located on Level 4 of Westpoint is Hogs Breath
Café.
The customer service is wonderful although I can find it a bit annoying
when the waiter interrupts half-way through the meal, especially those
moments when I have just taken a big bite, and yet I still find myself
replying back kindly. In the time it takes for your order to arrive you
can talk with your friend (that is if you bought one or if not, your
mobile phone is the newest trend), whilst sipping on your drink.
On this day, I opted for the Chicken Parmigiana. This meal comes in two
versions, the lite and the not-so-lite. I happened to buy the larger
version (the not-so-lite) and ended up regretting it upon finding myself
not as hungry as I initially thought I was, but I soldiered on and
demolished it. At the end of the meal, you find yourself content after
spending less than $30 on a very satisfying lunch.
Can’t wait to go back and devour those curly fries!

Located on the entry level of Macquarie Center, The Great Bagel &
Coffee Co is a well-furnished shop with a welcoming atmosphere. After a
long tiring day, there’s nothing better than sitting down with a
well-made coffee and something to nibble on. For those who don’t have
much of a budget or simply don’t want to spend much to attain something
that fits their standards, this is the place!!
I sat in one of the booths, with the cushioned seats offering relief to my previously bag-laden shoulders, and the steam of my cappuccino awakening my senses. It was my first time to ever taste a bagel and in simple terms, I was pleased.

I ordered a cheese and tomato melt which was absolutely delicious. The melted cheese and the taste of a (for once, not sour) tomato was complemented well with the softness of the bagel. It was only after I finished that, that I wished for more, but sadly my wallet cried out to me.

The Albion
Address: 135 George St, Parramatta NSW 2150
Phone: (02) 9891 3288
I recently went to The Albion with family for lunch over the long weekend and unfortunately i have to say i was displeased with the service. The restaurant wasn't overly busy and we were waiting close to an hour for our food. And finally, when it was ready, the staff got the orders wrong and we had to wait even longer. Although all the meals looked good, the mains were disappointing. Both the salad and pasta were beautiful, but the steaks were not cooked well, had a rubbery texture and had no flavour. It was nice to sit outside in the sun and eat but regrettably, the overall dining experience was poor.

Opening Hours: Mon to Wed 9am - 5:30pm

Sat 9am - 5pm
Sun 9am - 4:30pm
Located on the entry floor of Macquarie Center, Kaizen BBQ is a quaint restaurant that offers a range of mouth-watering traditional Korean dishes at prices affordable for everyone.
Depending upon your mood, your choices vary. On normal days I opt for a Bibimbap that consists of either chicken or pork but on this day I wanted something a bit spicier.
Tteokbokki (also known as spicy/chilli rice cakes) is a popular Korean snack food that is made from soft rice cake, fish cake and sweet red chilli sauce. At a price under $10, it leaves you and your wallet very happy.
The overall experience is pleasant. The staff is nice and courteous and the waiting time is not very long. With the option of eating in or taking away it caters to many people.
Overall experience:
4/5
Can't wait to go back and try more delicious food from the menu!!

Lovely place for breakfast with a wide and personally specialised menu where you can request your own meal. The staff are so friendly and accommodating and the music playing in the background is very relaxing. One of the main reasons i enjoy this cafe is for their watermelon juice. It is so nice and refreshing, definitely recommend to try it!

The Eight is a crossover restaurant fusing modern with tradition, in both the interior design and the menu. The restaurant heaves with families and trolleys with every kind of yum cha food available. I was with a friend who grew up in China so I let her decide. We ordered pork steamed buns, spring rolls, noodles. Everything was delicious! Unfortunately the wait clouded my experience. After receiving our ticket at the front, we stood there for half an hour waiting to be taken to a table.

N2 Extreme Gelato
N2 Extreme Gelato
Address: 43/1 Dixon St, Sydney NSW 2000 Hours: 1:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Two words for this place; indulgent and innovative! N2 is a gelato restaurant that creates its ice cream from liquid nitrogen (100% no fear!) The restaurant has a range of delicious and experimental flavours brought out each week, ranging from mango to buttered popcorn. The store has a unique science and laboratory theme, creating a fun atmosphere for the customers to enjoy and look at as they wait in line. Due to the popularity, waiting to get your gelato does take quite a while, so prepared to be patient! I had the "Brokeback Moment", a yummy $8 vanilla gelato complete with a honeycomb choc top, honeycomb bites and a warm caramel filled syringe. Be careful, the gelato melts quite quickly so eat it fast!

Cafe New York is conveniently located in Chatswood, and I have to agree it with their advertising, it does have great service! I was served as soon as I sat down, the service was quick and efficient, and my food was served to me in record time. The staff are friendly, even when it becomes busy. The environment of the restaurant is both family friendly and the kind of space where you could bring your laptop and work and enjoy a coffee. I ordered the pancakes and they were delicious!

This restaurant truly deserves its rating. It provides an exquisite bar & dining experience with unique, high quality food, large servings and excellent service. I loved the way they serve their lemon lime and bitters, such a refreshing drink poured into mini jugs. Every meal looked and tasted delicious, in particular the steak. It was cooked perfectly in a lovely sauce with garlic prawns and a side of potato and vegetables. I highly recommend it!

Last night i went to this wonderful frozen yoghurt place with some girlfriends. It was delicious! There was a huge selection of yoghurt flavours and toppings that would please everyone and it is self-service so you can put as much or as little as you like! I got the pomegranate and strawberry flavoured yoghurt with peach, mango and popping boba. It was light, creamy and flavoursome. Its also a healthy dessert option with the yoghurt containing probiotics and calcium. My only critique is that their servings are quite large as they do not offer a small sized cup. However, i cant wait to go back and try more of the different flavours and toppings. Such a delightfully refreshing dessert for anytime of the day.

This Spanish restaurant was magnificent .We had dinner last night in the El Bulli. Came as a nice surprise. It's a little cozy place with little but delicious dishes. We tried a few and the traditional meat balls was the best, not to mention the sangria and the churros. I should also mention extremely friendly staff.it worth to try it at least once !
