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…
Pepper Lunch
Pepper Lunch is a franchise that has over 200 stores across Asia and it’s specialty is DIY cooking. It’s point of difference is a patented iron plate that uses an electromagnetic cooker to heat it to 260 degrees in 70 seconds. The plate then remains at an 80 degree temperature for more than 2o minutes,…
Natee Thai – Relocated Store
Natee Thai is located on the western end of Jetty Road, literally metres away from Glenelg Beach. It had humble beginnings on Pulteney Street in the city and has since moved and replaced what used to be the Oyster Shop. The menu looks vaguely familiar but is full of your traditional Thai favourites. Like all…
Kathmandu Palace
Kathmandu Palace is located in a lovely historical building on Nile Street in Glenelg. Conveniently located on a side street, there was plenty of street parking to be found, particularly if you come here straight after work. Anybody familiar with Nepalese cuisine would know of it’s strong Indian influences as seen in its menu. The…
Sanctuary Tea House
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…
