Yogi Hub - Singapore - near Little India - so you know there is competition. Real vego, real fresh. Kinda Designer as well. yogihub.com.sg Food: 8/10, Atmos: 7.5/10, Value: 8/10, Location: away from main shopping district - yeah - 7/10.

Melt - Bar/ Restaruant. Didnt eat there - but good atmos. They are cunning linguists with Cover Charge. They split groups, send the most naive up first. You pay when upstairs - like $10 cover, then let the next of the party up - who have to pay as the first group has already paid. Smart negotiators get in for free - but a very cunning stunt to be careful of.

Pizza Mario East Sydney. Pizza (Australia) 9/10. Value: 7/10 Atmos: 7/10, You cant book so it is a bit of a pain, and there is no BYO - so adjust value to 6/10, but it is the best Pizza in Sydney so far...

No 1 Peking Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui. HK. Food: 6.5/10, Ambience: 8/10, View: 9/10, Value: 6/10. Can't beat the view of HK from this place. Very designer, nice place for visitors.

Greenwood Yum Cha. Used to be bad news. Much better news now - must be a new chef! Food: 7/10. Service: 6/10. They charge for tea and Chilli which is a bit rude - but short of going to the city or Chatswood - they have it sewn up.
