Mexican Society of Chinatown

Some say that every restaurant should have a good story line. The story behind the Mexican Society of Chinatown is that a group of Mexicans immigrated to Australia and moved into Adelaide’s Chinatown area. The result is Mexican food with Asian influences as reflected on their menu. All the dishes that end in 88 cents…

Sir Cafe – Gouger St – Adelaide

Anybody that has worked their way down Rundle Street would already be familiar with Sir Cafe. Taking over the former BTS store on Gouger Street, Sir Cafe have opened their second store within the Chinatown cafe precinct. They’ve retained the quirky yet stylish decor that was once there, which is pretty much in line with…

Star Dumplings

Businesses often undergo rebranding in order to revitalise their business. The owners of Star Dumplings have done just that and have adopted a more generic and easy to remember name. The menu is still the same as what I remember from April last year. For lunch, I ordered the Fried Chicken Dumplings. The dish arrived…

AsiaFest 2015 – Teppanyaki Degustation

Adelaide Food Central was invited to a 9 course Teppanyaki degustation meal at Asiafest on Thursday. All the food and drinks were complimentary. I love food adventures, especially degustation meals due to its variability and continuity in the courses. On top of that, the menu design often portrays the food passion of the chef. This…

Mazze on Rundle

Scoozi Caffe Bar had been on Rundle Street for as long as I can remember, and I was almost in shock to not see it there. In its place is Mazze on Rundle, which offers a similar type of cuisine. Offerings include entrees, bruschetta, wraps, foccacia, schiacciata, pizza, calzone, pasta, risotto, salads and meat dishes….

Mado

The last two businesses at this exact same location were kebab shops so it was no surprise that Mado was one as well. Located close to the middle of Gouger Street, this place offers a selection of dips, char grilled kebabs, salads and yiros. Almost perfect for the late night crowd looking for a hangover…

Phonatic

I’m a big fan of puns and when I heard of Phonatic, I felt I just had to go there. Located on the western end of Hindley Street, Phonatic is the second Vietnamese eatery to open in the Adelaide CBD this week. They have a lunch menu that is available between 10am and 3pm daily…

Club Tropicana

With the warm Summer weather approaching, the Havelock Hotel have converted their upstairs balcony into a tropical oasis. Boasting views of vibrant Hutt Street and the sun setting from the west, Club Tropicana is the new “go to” destination on Thursday nights. There are 6 delicious and refreshing cocktails to choose from, as well as…

Pho S.A.

From the previous owners of Thanh Thanh and Adelaide Pho, comes a new project in the heart of the Adelaide CBD. Replacing the former Banana Leaf is the new Pho S.A. restaurant. As their name suggests, Beef Noodle Soup is one of their specialties with 9 types to choose from with bowls available in two…

AsiaFest 2015 – Zomato Meetup

It’s a good thing that AsiaFest runs over 10 days this year because there’s so much food to try and performances to watch. Adelaide Food Central was fortunate enough to be invited for a second day in a row to pick up from where we left off from the day before. This time, the event…
