Tiger Lilly is a small cafe on the busy Melbourne Street cafe precinct. Seating exactly 44, the chairs and tables are nicely spaced without being too close to each other. The decor is nothing to write home about with a few decorative fans and paintings adorning the walls. The place does look it could do…

Mango Tree
After hearing rave reviews about Mango Tree from a friend, I thought it was time to check this place out. Located close to the beginning of Port Road heading west, the restaurant appears to be nothing special when you look at it’s narrow frontage. The inside is deceptively spacious with curved arches that separate two…
Sun Mi’s Sushi
Don’t be mislead into thinking this is a Japanese place because of the name, it’s actually Korean. When the Japanese occupied Korea between 1910 and 1945, they introduced kimbap, which is the Korean version of sushi. What’s the difference? The Japanese use vinegar in their sushi rice, while the Koreans use sesame oil. Anyway, I…
Chinatown Cafe
Chinatown Cafe is located close to the centre of the Grote Street and Gouger Street entrances on Moonta Street. This place has two things going for it, it’s location and it’s cheap prices. The amount of foot traffic that goes past this place alone would keep the cash register ticking, however, all their main meals…
Chef Lai Noodle Bar
Chef Lai Noodle Bar isn’t in the most obvious of locations. The place is located towards the end of a side street opposite the Thuan Phat Asian grocery. The decor is basic with cafe style furnishings and ceramic tiles. The orange walls do match the tables so I’ll give them some credit for colour coordination….
Yum Cha Hut
While yum cha in food courts is nothing new, I must say that I’m not really a fan. I find that a lot of the products are precooked and the personalised service is notably absent. I quite enjoy sitting at a table and having someone come round with a trolley of food. Anyway, Yum Cha…
Chu’s
Set in the popular Unley Road cafe precinct amongst other popular eateries is Chu’s. There are a decent selection of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes on the menu, although I did notice a few Thai dishes thrown into the mix. Set in a long and narrow floorplan, the decor is modern and elegant. The black and…
Zenhouse Vegetarian Yum Cha
Located down a side street close to the busy Rundle Street cafe precinct is Zenhouse Vegetarian Yum Cha. As their name suggests, their dishes are vegetarian. I usually like a bit of protein to make me full, so it’s not usually my first port of call when it comes to eating out, but I always…
Vietnam Asian Food Bar
Vietnam is a small food bar located on the corner of Days Road and Regency Road. You wouldn’t think it’s the best of locations, but this place has plenty of support from the local Asian residents and the educational institution nearby. Now there’s a fine art to a Vietnamese roll, and having been here many…
Angkor Thai
I’ve driven past this place many times, and as a fan of Thai food, I thought I would give this place a try. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, with the inside being not much better. The decor is basic and clean, however, the colour scheme seems to be a mismatch. The green…
