Lemongrass Vietnamese Meat Rolls
I was feeling a bit adventurous today. In the mood for a Vietnamese roll, the plan was to drive down Prospect Road and order one from every shop that I came across. According to the Banh Mi phone application, there were at least 5 places to visit. Unless the signage was really poor, I could…
Yellow Pumpkin
From the outside, Yellow Pumpkin looks like your typical local sushi store, but upon closer inspection of the menu, this place is a mixture of eastern and western influences. The breakfast menu is very basic with 5 choices that consist of croissants, toast, rolls and your classic big breakfast. There are also 10 types of…
Lemongrass Thai Bistro – Goodwood
Anyone that has been down Rundle Street would be familiar with Lemongrass Thai Bistro. The store in Goodwood is the second of the same name with identical food offerings, although this place is about a quarter of the size.

Uyghur Cuisine
With a name like Uyghur Cuisine, there’s no mistaking what type of food you’ll get at this place.

James Buns
From the same people that brought you Moodle and Asian Puzzle Canteen, now bring you James Buns. I’ve seen businesses perform a re-branding, but rarely have I seen it done twice within a short space of time. I admire their persistence and think it’s a clever way to get me to visit their establishment on…
Nico Cafe
A friend had recently told me that a new Japanese cafe had opened up around the corner from the Adelaide Central Bus Station. Keen to see what they’re all about, I made my way to the new establishment. The frontage is unique in appearance with numerous thin timber slats blocking the brunt of the northerly…
