Bread Temptations

Bread Temptations is a food outlet in Topham Mall. Their specialty is Vietnamese Rolls, but they also sell a range of savoury and sweet items. Today, I decided to try their Roast Pork Vietnamese Roll. ROAST PORK – Nice crispy lean pieces of roast pork with crunchy skin! The pork was well marinated, perfectly cooked…

Dumpling King – King William St

I’ve seen some pretty grotty places in my time, but this one has to be up there. The floor is absolutely filthy, there are grease marks on the tables and cups and I was even reluctant to sit down on the seat. The place is a hive of bacteria waiting to attack my poor immune…

Kenji

If you’re looking to impress a woman on a date, you really need to bring her here. Kenji offers modern Japanese food, which incorporates not so traditional ingredients, into imaginative dishes that work. It’s a bit like world peace. Different countries living in harmony, but on a plate. The restaurant itself is not particularly large…

Yumalicious

Yumalicious is a Vietnamese take away store on Victoria Square. Their main specialty is Vietnamese rolls and beef noodle soups, but they also do sushi. Roast Pork Vietnamese Roll two days in a row? Why not! ROAST PORK – The roast pork was fatty and cut up into small little pieces. The meat was well…

Fortune Duck

My friend decided she wanted Chinese food tonight and she wanted something along Gouger Street, so I randomly picked a Chinese restaurant that I haven’t reviewed. Based on the number of customers currently dining in the restaurant at the time, I chose Fortune Duck. A restaurant with very few customers often says something about the…

Daily Choice is a food outlet in the Southern Cross food court. Their specialty is Vietnamese Rolls, but they also sell other dishes. Today, I decided to try their Roast Pork Vietnamese Roll. ROAST PORK – Not the best roast pork I’ve ever tasted, but not the worst either. The pork was half lean and…

Cherry Blossom Sushi – Gorge Rd

After coming back from a 3 hour hike at Morialta, we popped in to the Newton Shopping Centre and discovered there weren’t too many places to eat. The only real option for our hungry stomachs was the sushi franchise, Cherry Blossom. Today, I ordered the Crumbed Prawn and Crumbed Chicken Sushi. The sushi rice tasted…

Thai Cuisine

Thai Cuisine is a take away food outlet in the Myer Centre food court. Normally, you can only get Thai food from a restaurant or a cafe, but never from a food court. This particular store is interesting because it is run by the same staff from the Asian Delights food outlet next door. When…

Dim Well Cafe

Dim Well is a relatively new yum cha eatery located in the Gouger Street cafe precinct. The menu is your stock standard yum cha fare which is prepared as ordered. The place is relatively small with the tables close to each other. There’s no way a yum cha trolley is going to make its way…

Buckingham Arms Hotel

Located outside the fringe of the city is the Buckingham Arms Hotel. I have been here several years ago for a coworkers service anniversary lunch. It wasn’t great back then and it still isn’t that great now. I guess they should get bonus points for consistency. The decor here is old. I wouldn’t be surprised…
