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…
Soonta – Rundle Place
Soonta is take away joint in the Rundle Place food court and is also part of a franchise with several stores around the city. Their menu mainly consists of Vietnamese rolls, salads, cold rolls and spring rolls, however, some of their ingredients are Japanese inspired. Setup similar to a Subway store, customers order from one…
Ricky’s Kitchen
Ricky’s Kitchen is pretty good for food court food. The food is freshly made and you get restaurant quality food at food court prices! How good is that? Their Barbecue Pork with Bok Choy and Noodles is the bomb! The meat is lean and well marinated, and plenty of it. The vegetables were well cooked…
Moodle
What was once the former location of the Sugar Bowl is now a Taiwanese noodle place called Moodle. The decor here is basic with good use of contrasting colours. The arrangement of various items on the left corner of the room reminded me of a neatly assembled scrap heap of unwanted items. The service here…
Kishi Sushi
I’ve been meaning to visit Kishi for quite some time, especially after hearing rave reviews about the place. It’s important to note that Kishi has specials that constantly change, and they’re only available if you’re part of the Kishi mailing list, or are a fan of their Facebook page. When they advertised on Facebook that…
Tangritah Uyghur
Tangritah Uyghur is located in a room the size of my double garage with a kitchen area concealed in the back part of the building. The decor here is very basic with a few decorative ornaments hanging off the walls. The tables were very narrow and the neighbouring chairs were too close to one another. The…
Taki Sushi and Tepanyaki
Taki Sushi and Tepanyaki is a food outlet in the Rundle Place food court. They mainly specialise in sushi and Tepanyaki bento boxes but they also sell a range of small Japanese snacks. Today, I ordered the Tepanyaki Chicken Bento Box. The chef behind the grill didn’t really have much to do as he was…
