Craving for a Vietnamese Roast Pork Roll, I once again turn to the Banh Mi Locator smartphone application. It directs me to the Sanctuary Tea House which is located inside the Westfield Marion Shopping Centre. It’s not inside the food court, but on the ground level directly under it. As their name suggests, they have…

Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum
There aren’t many places in Adelaide where you can have Yum Cha in the evening and an Asian inspired Martini to go with it. Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum, formerly known as Suzie Wong’s Room, fills that void. The re-branding of the venue has seen a shift from Eastern European cuisine to the owner’s…
Blue Ginger
Blue Ginger is located in small alleyway just off Moseley Square in Glenelg. The moderately sized menu is very pan-Asian with Chinese, Thai and Indian influences. The decor is fairly basic with dated cafe furnishings. It does have bi-fold doors which integrate the outdoor with the indoor dining areas. It also allows plenty of natural…
Henley Beach Vietnamese Meat Rolls
Vietnamese street food continues to grow in popularity as we see these types of stores pop up all over the state. One of the three stores that I’m aware of down Henley Beach Road is the unimaginatively named Henley Beach Vietnamese Meat Rolls. As their name suggests, they offer five types of bread roll, as…
Silk and Spice
Having driven past this place many times, I actually had no idea Silk and Spice existed, let alone the fact that this restaurant has been around for over 5 years. Silk and Spice is located in a renovated bungalow on the busy Henley Beach Road. Excluding the specials, there are over 40 dishes to choose…
Hove Deli
There aren’t too many places that sell Vietnamese Rolls in the beachside suburbs, however, the Banh Mi Locator smartphone application indicated that there was place in Hove. Hove Deli sells 5 types of Vietnamese rolls, Cold Rolls and Beef Noodle Soup, as well as the customary sandwiches, pies, pasties and hot dogs. The decor looks…
Grass Chicken
Grass Chicken is the latest to open down the notorious Hindley Street precinct. The use of the word “grass” is synonymous with the freshness of their chicken. The chicken is delivered two days prior and then marinated for at least a day before reaching the customer. To some extent, the menu reads like an Asian…
Anh’s Snack Bar Cafe
Anh’s Snack Bar Cafe is located in a small shopping complex on Findon Road. Their main seller is their Vietnamese rolls with half a dozen fillings on offer. They also offer cold rolls, rice noodles, fried rice, noodle soup and a small selection of snacks and traditional Vietnamese dishes. The venue itself looks a bit…
Sukhumvit Soi 38
Any foodie that has been to Bangkok would be familiar with Sukhumvit Soi 38. It’s said to be one of the best street food locations in Thailand serving up cheap, tasty and quick meals on notoriously wobbly metal tables. The scene is a little different at the Pulteney Street location with the same name. With…
Lim’s Chinese
Lim’s is a bit of an institution in Glenelg as it’s been around for over 37 years. Hanging on the wall behind the counter area are some autographed photos of celebrities that have dined here, however, that’s no surprise considering they have been here for so long. The menu offers a decent selection of classic…
