If Fisherprice Made Ice Cream…

Advantages: Fantastic concept, lots of locations, good prices
Disadvantages: Too many choices

...world that are just genius. Cold Rock is one of them. I have unknowingly been adopting the Cold Rock concept for many years. I know what I like when it comes to sweet items - ice creams, crepes, waffles - and when my desired combination isn't on the menu, I ask the person behind the counter if I can adapt one of their concoctions in a simple enough way, for example by trading butterscotch sauce for chocolate, or removing the sprinkling of nuts, ...
...*** The Concept *** Cold Rock takes the idea of building an ice cream sundae one step further by allowing you to create custom made ice cream flavours. Each branch has an array of ice creams and an array of mix ins. You choose the size and the flavour, and then you choose the items you want to be mixed into it. This is not a case of adding a topping to a scoop - they literally infuse your flavour with the mix in by spreading the ice cream out on ...

Review of Cold Rock Ice Creamery, Sydney

Paragon is a meat market!

Advantages: Great Location, Good food, reaonably prices
Disadvantages: Meat market, bad music, better choices in area

The paragon hotel is far from the best nightlife that Sydney has to offer. Location You will find the paragon hotel located on the Corner of Loftus and Alfred in Circular Quay. For those have never visited Sydney, this is one of the most spectacular places to visit in Sydney! It is directly opposite Circular Quay station and conveniently located next to MacDonald's (which is open late enough for a late night burger run - but go to the bathroom before ...
...Getting there and Away As I mentioned the pub is situated across from Circular Quay station which serves the following train lines: Bankstown, Inner West, South, Airport & East Hills. It is also opposite a bus station which serves many bus routes and right around the corner from the taxi rank on George Street. Word to the wise: If you are trying to get a taxi home be sure not to leave the club around 2.30 - 3 as 3 is changeover time so many cabs ...

Review of Paragon Nightclub

The best scrambled eggs you ever had!!

Advantages: Great food
Disadvantages: Waiting times, snooty staff

Bills is the restaurant belonging to Bill Granger, who can sometimes be seen in one of those Saturday morning cooking shows (Im rarely up early enough but I have caught it from time to time!!). He's also the author of a few cook books. Bills only had two restaurants last time I was in Sydney but now they have 3 - the original in Darlinghurst, Bills 2 in Surry Hills & now one in Woolharra. The restaurants are typical Sydney-style - laid back modern ...
...thats by the by!!). Bills can be frequented by those Sydneysiders who think they are better than everyone else because they are mental enough to spend an hour getting ready for breakfast in the morning...but don't let them ruin your enjoyment if you ever make it in here. The staff can sometimes be those beautiful people who think working in a good restaurant makes their job something more than just being a waiter & have a tendancy to be a bit snooty ...

Review of Bills

Chocolate Heaven In Sydney Centre

Advantages: Central location, the pure nature of the cafe
Disadvantages: A good, but not amazingly extensive choice of things to buy

The home of Lindt in Sydney is the Lindt Concept Store and Café on Martin Place. As far as I can make out, the 'concept' involved is 'chocolate, chocolate and a bit more chocolate'. The first of its kind, Lindt chose Australia for the outlet as it's the quickest growing market for chocolate in the world. Though they won't admit to it, I also think it's to do with the fact that native-Australian chocolate is dubious to say the least. Cadbury's here ...
...the yumminess that is Lindt is increased. In a country that is fiercely proud of home grown / made / packaged items, it takes a strong company to sell exclusively imported goodies. Over here virtually every item will boast of the fact it's Australian all the way: a peanut butter advert over here screams '100% Australian peanuts', chocolate bars are 'made and packaged in Australia from imported ingredients', Aldi, the German supermarket chain, adorns ...

Review of Lindt Concept Store, Sydney

Brillance defined

Advantages: Atmosphere
Disadvantages: Espensive a bit

Please Note: This is a copy from my Dooyoo.co.uk account. Uhm wow! It was really late at night, and where we live in my area; not many places are open at 1 am in the morning. So we all decided we want to go out no matter what, and we went to Centrel London, came accross this bar, and it was fantastic! The lights, entertainment and just in general smooth atnoshphere it had to deliver to us as thier guests/ravers! Highly reccomend it. No matter what ...
...take one thing that I remember form that night I would say that I, no matter what mostly remembered the atmoshphere it had! It was just so fantastic, I love noise, and to be honest hate the countryside, all quiet and etc, that really, really, really, would just bore the living day lights out of me. So overall I give this bar a brilliant 8/10! Please Note: This has been copied from my Trustedplaces account, I have just added some more information ...
