The thing I love about the Central Market is that the food is cheap, and we’re not even talking about sitting inside a food court. Noodle and Dumpling House is a prime example. The food is typical Chinese with main meals around the $15 mark. The store itself is deceptive in size but efficiently used….

Thu Nguyen
If it wasn’t for the name of this place you’d think it was just a typical lunch bar selling sandwiches and rolls. They do sell these items, however, the Vietnamese owner also has Roast Pork rolls on the menu. Without any hesitation, I ordered one. Made on the spot and packaged in a blank white…
You Like Rolls
Driving down Grange Road, I know of 4 different stores that sell Vietnamese Roast Pork Rolls. You Like Rolls is one of the first stores you’ll come across as you drive out the city. The store is quite small with a handful of seats, while the menu is simple and straight forward with a selection…
Vietnam Sunrise
I’ve driven past Vietnam Sunrise so many times without giving this place much thought. The black exterior just makes this place uninviting, however once you walk in, it is a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is open plan with beautifully polished timber floorboards and imposing high ceilings. On one main wall, there is a mural that…
Tiger Lilly
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…
