Eastern Garden Chinese Restaurant – Revisit

Having celebrated my birthday lunch at Eastern Garden nearly 3 years ago, I still have fond memories of the place. To this day, I still consider this place one of the best places for Yum Cha in Adelaide. Of course things change over time, so it was time to pay Eastern Garden another visit. As…

Mai’s Lunch Bar

In search for the best Vietnamese Roll in Adelaide, I come across Mai’s Lunch Bar, located close to the Entertainment Centre. For a small take away store, they certainly have a decent menu selection.

Payneham Chinese Restaurant – Revisit

Chicken Coop, in Glynburn Plaza, would at first glance appear to be your standard suburban takeaway joint with a menu that you would expect from such a shop: roast chicken, chips, crumbed fish, burgers, yiros, hot dogs and snacks.

Don Don Korean BBQ is still somewhat an underrated little Korean restaurant. It’s located on the other end of Hindley Street, far away from the hustle and bustle of the many clubs and bars the street is known for.
