Red Ass

I’ve eaten at Red Ass a very long time ago when they were based in the city. I can’t quite remember what the experience was like, but it was only a short time after that they moved to Semaphore. Located on the busy Semaphore Road cafe precinct, Red Ass specialises in Thai and Indian cuisine….

Viet Menu – Noarlunga

When I first found out that Viet Menu was located inside the food court at Colonnades Shopping Centre, I was probably a bit skeptical as to how good this place could be. There’s a common perception that food from a food court is of average quality at best, and I must admit, I’ve had a…

Ginza Miyako – New Winter Menu 2015

There are some upmarket restaurants out there that haven’t changed their menu in years. Ginza Miyako is a bit different as they constantly introduce new menu items to keep customers interested. A select few of us were invited to the restaurant to sample their new dishes. All food and drink was provided free of charge….

Dragon Court Seafood Restaurant

With already a handful of Yum Cha places down Gouger Street, competition is already tough for this Asian tapas. A new player has come on to the scene in the form of Dragon Court Seafood. There is a decent selection of classic Yum Cha dishes available during the day, while for both lunch and dinner,…

Sazon Espresso – Adelaide

Sazon first opened in Mt Barker over 6 years ago, and during that time, they’ve developed a reputation for great coffee and authentic Mexican street food. As part of their expansion, they’ve now opened a city store which is currently open during the week for breakfast and lunch. There are 8 options on their breakfast…

Vietnamese Laundry – Zomato Meetup

At a time when Vietnamese street food was all the rage, Vietnamese Laundry opened up on the quieter western side of the city. Located inside an old laundromat, they started off with classic street food dishes that we are so familiar with today. 10 months later they’re still going strong, and together with Zomato, invited…

Mlkman App Launch

The team at Adelaide Food Central, along with other bloggers and media, were invited to test out the up and coming food delivery app “Mlkman”. All food and drink were provided free of charge. Mlkman essentially is a food order and delivery application. Planning and development for the app began in February of this year….

Mollydooker Wines – Sparkle in the City

Last Friday night, Mollydooker Wines invited us to their pop-up wine bar to launch their newest sparkling: Girl On The Go. Mollydooker Wines is a family business run by Sarah and Sparky and their two kids, Holly and Luke. The name Mollydooker comes from Aussie slang meaning left-hander, as Sarah and Sparky are one of…

Bonjour Vietnam

Some of the most authentic Vietnamese cuisine is not found in the city centre but out in the western suburbs where the community actually live. A fine example of this is the Bonjour Vietnam restaurant which offers an extensive range of classic homestyle dishes. There are entrees, soups, salads, stir fried dishes, noodle dishes, deep…

Yum Rolls

Yum Rolls is a small Vietnamese eatery located within a shopping complex on Marion Road in West Richmond. Like most Vietnamese street food stores, this place offers 10 types of meat rolls, a selection of entrees, salad bowls and noodle salad bowls. The place is not particularly large, but there are a handful of seats…
