From the same owners as Fortuna Court in Norwood comes Chef Dong, which is named after the owner himself. Located in a small shopping complex in the well-to-do suburb of St. Peters, Chef Dong offers a decent selection of Chinese dishes that are separated into hot pots, rice and noodle dishes, vegetarian options and all…

Pagoda

The original plan for the night was to catch up with a friend at a new Mexican restaurant on Glen Osmond Road. It turned out it was so new it hadn’t opened yet. As a spur of the moment choice, we head to Pagoda which is a Chinese restaurant a few doors down. It happens…

Taste of the Himalayas

If I was doing this review a few years back, it would have been difficult because there were few Himalayan restaurants around. These days, there are about half a dozen in Adelaide serving similar dishes, so it’s a lot easier to get a gauge of what’s good and what’s not. Taste of the Himalayas has…

Nghi Ngan Quan

People have been raving on about how good Nghi Ngan Quan (NNQ) is for years, but after an average experience at Little NNQ, I was in no rush to see what all the fuss was about. Fast forward 12 months and there’s been a lot of hype in the media about NNQ moving to their…

Cafe 82

For anyone that follows me on Instagram, they would know that Grange Beach is my favourite place to be as the sun goes down. Fortunate for me, there are two Thai cafes, one very close to the beach front, and the other, Cafe 82, located towards the end of Grange Road, a bit further away…

I’ve been to Ryo’s Noodles when it first opened and was impressed by the high quality and authenticity of their Ramen. With a busy blogger lifestyle, it’s often hard to go back to the…

Pondok Daun

With Indonesia’s close proximity to Australia, I’m quite surprised there are only a handful of Indonesian eateries in Adelaide. Pondok Daun is the latest to open its doors and offer this type of cuisine, and judging by the ethnicity of it’s clientele, it’s almost safe to say that the food is authentic. Today, I once…
