Mexican Society of Chinatown

Some say that every restaurant should have a good story line. The story behind the Mexican Society of Chinatown is that a group of Mexicans immigrated to Australia and moved into Adelaide’s Chinatown area. The result is Mexican food with Asian influences as reflected on their menu. All the dishes that end in 88 cents…

Star Dumplings

Businesses often undergo rebranding in order to revitalise their business. The owners of Star Dumplings have done just that and have adopted a more generic and easy to remember name. The menu is still the same as what I remember from April last year. For lunch, I ordered the Fried Chicken Dumplings. The dish arrived…

AsiaFest 2015 – Teppanyaki Degustation

Adelaide Food Central was invited to a 9 course Teppanyaki degustation meal at Asiafest on Thursday. All the food and drinks were complimentary.

Cafe 99

Cafe 99 is located on the popular Melbourne Street cafe precinct in North Adelaide. It’s been on my “to eat” list for quite some time and it’s only now that I’ve had a chance to check it out. The cafe itself is small and the place itself looks a bit dated. The menu is a…
