There’s a multitude of small Vietnamese eateries out in the western suburbs that I’ve yet to eat at. The first place that I run into on my journey is Tien Giang Quan which is located in a small shopping complex on Days Road in Croydon Park. With exactly 24 items on the menu, their offerings…

Kim’s Lunch Bar
Vietnamese street food is all the rage around other parts of Adelaide, but in the western suburbs, it’s pretty much the norm. The latest to open their doors is Kim’s Lunch Bar which is located on Trimmer Parade in Seaton. The menu is very basic with 5 types of meat rolls, dumplings, cold rolls, spring…
Hot Star Large Fried Chicken
Hot Star Large Fried Chicken has been around for over 2 decades and is the creator the palm sized crispy chicken street food snack that is very popular in Taiwan. It’s basically a chicken schnitzel that has been marinated with Asian spices and served to you in a paper bag. All the chicken used is…
Sunset International Cuisine
Sunset International Cuisine is located on a prime position on Moseley Square, right at the doorstep of Glenelg Jetty. Their menu consists of simple breakfast options as well as Thai, Mexican, Italian and Middle Eastern dishes. When a place offers multiple cuisines, it’s usually an indication that the food is average because mastering multiple cuisines…
Hong Feng Restaurant
When one Chinese restaurant closes, another one opens. This is true in the case of Hong Feng which replaces the former Dragon Tea House. My experience at the former restaurant was so bad, I was hesitant to come here just in case it was another re-branding. Out at the front of the building are two…
Chilli Pepper Thai Cuisine
When one Thai restaurant closes, another one opens. This is true in the case of Chilli Pepper, which replaces the former Pattaya Thai as ownership changed hands. Of course, the menu still looks like your typical Thai fare with the standard entrees, salads, mains, curries, vegetables, noodles and rice dishes on offer. I was pleased…
Noodle Box – Glenelg
Still in the mood for some noodles, I paid the Noodle Box store in Glenelg a visit. Unlike their nearby competitor, this particular franchise only has 8 stores in Adelaide. The menu offerings are fewer, but there’s still a fusion of Asian cuisines. There are a total of 17 noodle dishes available in small or…
K-Bap
This year, a lot of Vietnamese eateries opened up around Adelaide, as people fell in love with the fresh, healthy ingredients of the cuisine. Not far behind, is the growing popularity of Korean food, which also has similar characteristics. I guess it’s fitting that K-Bap, a place that serves up Korean dishes, replaces a business…
Wok In A Box – Glenelg
It’s lunchtime again and I’m walking down Jetty Road looking for somewhere to eat. There’s two Asian fast food franchise stores fairly close to each other serving similar dishes. Both provide the option to dine in, but one presents their dishes on a plate rather than a paper bowl. Decision made! Wok In The Box…
Maid Mice
Maid Mice is a rather unique name for a cafe and refers to the two owners who were born in the year of the rat under Chinese astrology. Stereotypically, people who have this star sign have a voracious appetite for food and life. Maid Mice is a celebration of the rustic meals in a Vietnamese-Australian…
