Snag Stand Macquarie Centre

I noticed this week that Snag Stand was running a student offer. Meaning as long as you're a student and show you're student card along with any purchase of a Snag will be a free drinks and chips.


This was a great idea and as I was waiting for my 7pm class I thought why not grab a Snag with some free chips and a drink.


I'd been to Snag Stand before but not in Macquarie. The Pitt St. Mall location was really nice so I thought it'd be just as great.


I decided on the Wagyu Beef Snag which is A Wagyu sausage with butter & garlic mash, sautéed onions, crispy shallots, chives, herbed gravy in a brioche type hot dog bun.

I presented my student card and got the free chips and chose a bottle of water as my drink. As the chips were free and I was really hungry I thought i'd give the onion rings a try.


Rank out 5 with justification


I'd give this place a total score of 3/5. It's a nice place to go once in a while.

Taste
I'd give this hot dog a 3.5/5. The snag itself was nice but there were too many spring onions on the roll which were dehydrated spring onions by the way. The mash was nice but alot of the flavours didn't really go. I'm used to a traditional hot dog American style, which they do serve also. The chips however were on point and one of the best i've ever had. Not like your typical fast food place, they were really crunchy and hot which I like and the flavour was clean, The onion rings were really nice and large in size as well.


Price
Price at the time wasn't a consideration as I was really hungry but looking back paying $10.90 for a hot dog is alot. Given the chips and drinks were free the whole student discount was a great offer but had their not been this offer then it's far too expensive. Sausage sizzle at Bunnings is cheaper and tastier.


Location
Ideal location for me as it's next to the university and near my work.

Service
Service was really good previously one would be given a buzzer and you'd need to go up and collect your order. Now you are given a table number and the staff bring the order out for you.

Latitude 30

  Latitude 30 The venue/location: I stopped by Latitude 30 on my return journey from visiting Brisbane. This quaint little restaurant has a wonderful ocean-side view which fit's the primarily seafood menu quite well. Located in Coffs Harbour, the weather is suitable for outside seating most of the year. After eating you can take a rather nice walk up the cliff-side overlooking the ocean, which is absolutely gorgeous around sunset. Also there's an Ice Cream store nearby, so if you've still got some room left, it can be nice to have dessert whilst on an ocean-side walk.  The food and drinks: Overall I found it to be a little on the pricey side - however considering the view, I was okay with this fact. I ordered their crispy black pepper squid, as well as their Salmon Gravlax, each were roughly $18-22. I ordered a glass of White Wine also, a 2016 Riesling by Jim Barry Vineyards which paired rather nicely with the two dishes. Both of the dishes were presented quite...

TC brothers- Pizza, Kebabs & HSP

On the 10th of April I visited TC brothers on Canterbury Road, the business is well known with its area for top of the line pizzas, kebabs and HSPs. As far as unbalanced diets go for university students mine ranks amongst the best, so immediately this sparked my interest. The businesses location is very easy to locate as it faces a very high traffic road which leads in and out of Bansktown whilst also connecting many other small suburbs. Upon entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted with  a friend face and a conversation sparked. The colloquialism of the staff was funny and it was clear that a sense of humor and commitment to customer satisfaction was important. The extensive menu covered all forms of meat, in styles such as pizzas, kebabs, HSPS and even offered alternative dietary options such as vegetarian. The prices ranged from as low as $8 for a basic HSP to $22 for a full sized family pizza (to which I naturally purchased...
