Patisserie Jin

Competition for your dessert dollar is pretty tough on Unley Road, because only a few shops down from this one, is another fine dessert place. Located in a well to do suburb, Patisserie Jin is owned and run by a Le Cordon Bleu trained dessert chef. The dessert menu is limited, however there is a…

Indochina – Waymouth St

The Indochina Thai restaurant is a take away food outlet in The Lobby food court on Waymouth Street. It does have a parent restaurant operating under the same name in Unley. The Waymouth Street store does more than Thai food. They also offer Yum Cha and Vietnamese food. Today, I ordered the Pad Thai. The…

Yoi Noodles and Sushi

Yoi is a Japanese take away outlet in the City Cross food court. As their name suggests, they do noodles and sushi as well as various other Japanese dishes. Today, I ordered the Inside Out California Roll with Sesame Seeds. The sushi was wrapped in a cellophane wrapper and was nicely presented. The sushi rice…

Est Pizzeria

Est is a moderately sized pizza place on East Terrace. With their main kitchen area taking up most of the space on the ground floor, the place is still deceptively large if you count the number of seats (12 outside, 11 on the ground floor inside and 21 upstairs). Their specialty is gourmet wood oven…

Rain Modern Asian Bistro

After coming from a late afternoon movie session, we were wandering down The Parade and stumbled across Rain. While looking at the menu from outside the bistro, the first thing that caught our eye was the extensive selection of items that were on offer. Calling themselves an Asian bistro meant they had a lot of…

O’Sushi O’Bento

O’Sushi O’Bento is a Japanese food outlet in the Central Markets food court. As their name suggests, they sell sushi and bento boxes. Ordering is simple, you go up to the counter and pay, they give you a ticket and you wait. Today, I ordered the Spicy Yakiniku bento box. The dish was ready after…

Royal Oak Hotel

The Royal Oak is a pub located on busy O’Connell Street in North Adelaide. While the exterior has a quaint facade, the interior is like a 1950’s unrenovated urban warehouse. We sat at a table that was made from recycled cinema seats, although the furnishings around us seemed to be a mish mash of throw…

Cocolat – Adelaide Airport

People usually go to airports because they have to fly somewhere, they’re in transit or they’re seeing someone off. Rarely do they come here just to hang out, but today, a group of friends and I just came to the airport for dessert. It sounded crazy, but in the end it was a good decision…

Pantry On Egmont

Before I start this review, I’d like to go into how I rate places. Every place starts off with 3 stars. For every point I feel is positive, they go up a star, and for every negative they go down. Of course, depending on bad the negative point is, they might go down 2 stars….

Yiros Centre

If I’m looking for alone time, I’ll grab a yiros with extra garlic sauce and onions. My breath will be so garlicky, even the vampires will stay away. Usually the only people I can speak to, are the people that had a yiros with me. With the amount of mess a yiros makes, it’s not…
