Chicken Rice is a small Malaysian eatery that has opened up right in the heart of The Parade. With only 7 dishes to choose from, making a decision really isn’t that difficult. I actually prefer places with a small menu because they offer dishes that they can cook well, as opposed to a large selection…

New Taste Noodle Bar
The New Taste Noodle Bar wasn’t my first choice in lunch destination, and it was only because the place I was supposed to go to, was unexpectedly closed. Set in a complex on Frederick Road, this quaint little store offers Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food (This should have been my warning sign right here. I…
China Chilli
With the number of Asian eateries down Gouger Street, it’s only fitting that the China Chilli restaurant opens it’s doors along this popular cafe strip. As their signage suggests, this place specialises in two things; Sichuan cuisine and hot pots. Sichuan cuisine refers to a style of Chinese food that originates from the Sichuan province…
Cherry Blossom Sushi – Henley Beach Rd
Cherry Blossom Sushi is a sushi franchise that has 7 stores across the state. One of their newer stores is located on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. Unlike some of their other stores, this particular store is standalone and has seats for just under a dozen people. While their normal seating is practical, I found…
Matcha House
For those that don’t know, matcha (also known as maccha) is a fine powder green tea. Japanese tea ceremonies centre on the preparation, serving and drinking of matcha, however, in modern times, it’s used to flavour and dye foods. I actually came here not knowing what matcha was, but true to their name, most things…
Moonsoon
When I first briskly walked past this place at the beginning of the year, I initially thought the name of this restaurant was “Monsoon”. It seemed a bit odd that they would use the same name as an Indian restaurant also in North Adelaide. After a bit of research, I discovered they were “Moonsoon”, a…
Bim’s Bar
Bim’s Bar is a new take away store located at the former Sushi Crane site. Based close to the corner of King William and Pirie Streets, this store extends the previous Japanese offerings to include Korean cuisine as well. The place is tiny and can barely fit all the standing customers during the lunch hour…
Little NNQ
Little NNQ is a new Vietnamese restaurant that has opened up on the busy Gouger Street cafe precinct. “NNQ” stands for “Nghi Ngan Quan” which is the name of the successful parent restaurant in Ferryden Park. With separate lunch time and dinner menus, this place offers all your classic Vietnamese dishes. The decor at this…
Tasty Bud Cafe
There’s a fair number of Vietnamese eateries opening around the city at the moment, and Tasty Bud Cafe is one of the latest to open it’s doors. Located on Gawler Place, on the former site of Mama Pierogi, the cafe offers home style Vietnamese dishes, Vietnamese rolls, snacks and sweets. The cafe is family run…
Roll In Saigon
Roll In Saigon is a small store on Goodwood Road just before the tram stop. Based on the food keeping warm under their heat lamps, I would say their roast pork, grilled chicken and spring rolls are their best sellers. In the other cabinet, they literally have piles of vegetables for their Vietnamese rolls. This…
