What do you do with a former library? Open a Chinese restaurant of course. The crew behind Heng…read moreLoong (headed by husband and wife duo Winnie and Eddie) have been at various locations for more than 20 years before settling in this Wallsend location. The food is 'modern Australian Chinese' with plenty of variety for even then fussiest diner. We were dining in a group of six and managed to try something for everyone by sharing the dishes we ordered. It was like a DIY banquet. With regular check-ins by the owner herself it was a great place to share dinner with a group. Try house specialities like the Hong Kong steak or Mary's Treasure Basket.

Even the rice was good, not gluggy or overpowered with soy. A liitle more expensive than the average chinese style restaurant but it more than makes up for that with quality.

Entree wise, you can't go wrong with the curry puffs, money bags, fish cakes or heavenly beef. They are all fantastic but the heavenly beef will have you licking every last bit off your fingers! I'm a sucker for green curry and theirs is delicious; with your choice of chicken, beef or pork. The red and panang curries are also lovely and for stir fry the pad khing and pad ka pao are full of flavour. I love the fresh taste of the Thai basil, chilli and ginger. They accept eftpos or cash but no split bills. They also offer $20-$50 gift vouchers.

Taking over from what used to be Aroma's in the Wallsend shopping centre. These little cafes are so…read morepopular in plazas now. Has your pre or post shopping coffee date covered, casual work lunches and after school treats. Mostly easy meals eg melts, sandwiches, wraps, salads and burgers. Great prices too. I especially loved the coffee chart on the wall. I don't drink coffee and really have no clue what the different varieties are but this breaks it down for you. Very clever. The staff were friendly and took my mums business card to email her a quote for wraps for a meeting. Was told they can't cater for sandwiches due to the kitchen size but seemed happy with accommodating 15-20 for the wraps. We shall see.

All your staple BBQ favourites delivered in a more contemporary, fine dining way…read more I spent $160 for my partners birthday which sounds expensive but that covered 2 beers, a wine, 2 entrees, 2 mains AND 2 desserts, PHEW! Both entrees were a great serving. My entree of pork buns could almost be a light lunch. Very tasty and colourful. No skimping on the garlic prawn entree either. For main the rattle steak is an interesting option served with beans, thick cut chips and chipotle hollandaise sauce. The fried coating is thin enough that it's not oily and has a nice hint of chilli. Sadly my steak was over cooked but it didn't ruin the dish. The fudge brownie and smores desserts were to die for. The brownie top was hard to cut through but it was ENORMOUS! Meals at other tables looked delightful too. Definitely worth a try and has a lovely view with huge glass windows.

Having visited this place previously my partner and I decided to return…read more This place is quite classy for a steak house but very comfortably and being near the glass window makes it great to look out. We decided to have the garlic bread for main and received 4 slices of sour dough with a small cup of garlic butter to spread ourselves. It was an interesting way to serve and there was more than enough butter which was quite nice. For main I went for the steak and BBQ ribs combo plate with Jack Daniels jus sauce. The waiter said the chef normally prepares medium steak but I could have it my way, I said that I like medium well but was happy to try medium if that's what is recommended. When the steak came out it was quite nice but had definitely been cooked to medium well (no complaints). The jus was amazing and the Jack Daniels wasn't as overpowering as I remember from the previous visit. The ribs serving was also quite big. I didn't mind the ribs but did find the BBQ sauce they were covered in quite sweet and it made me feel a little sick, so I ended up scrapping some of it away. I still finished them in the end. We decided not to have desert as the menu lacked a chocolate option... I know right! Most of it was cooked fruit... Something I despise. My previous visit I remember desert being amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

I've only enjoyed this place a few times so far. Not been disappointed…read more Coffee has been good and I like the way they have put this place together. The tables I find interesting and the use of space is relaxed. I don't like sitting in someone else's pocket so this place is good for me. Included in the decor are things of interest which keeps you looking about while you wait for your drinks or food. There is some outdoor seating which puts you right by the road. If you don't mind the traffic noise you do get a bit of a view across the road to Lake Macquarie. So far it's my go to place when I go down to the lake.

Sitting outside taking in a mostly…read moreuninterrupted view of the lake, car spotting and generally enjoying a perfectly clear sky Sunday. Going inside to order revealed a relaxed decor, fun wall display of hanging menus and a service counter filled on both sides with beautifully presented pastries. The display really caught my eye; very nicely done and I'm not sure how I contained the urge to order something from it. I was in the mood for a sandwich and my partner quickly pointed out the Qubano and I was sold. Essentially ham and cheese with flare, served with chips. It smelled a little odd, probably the mustard, but tasted wonderful. The chocolate thick shake I ordered was large but needed more chocolate with most of it drizzled along the inside of the cup rather than in the drink itself. I had to keep scraping the sides with my straw to amp up the flavour.
