Kang Kong – Grand Opening

Adelaide Food Central was invited to the grand opening of Kang Kong. All food and drink were provided free of charge. Topham Mall is a vital link between the Central Markets and the Riverbank precinct, and it’s rejuvenation has begun with the opening of Kang Kong, and the soon to be opened bar, Gypsy Dragon….

Francesco’s Cicchetti

The Market Shed on Holland has become a trendy meeting place for brunch on a Sunday morning with delicious fresh food supplied by local stall holders. Francesco’s Cicchetti is one of those stalls and has been around for 12 months. “Cicchetti” translated from Italian means small snacks or side dishes, or in other words, Italian…

Si Senorita Cocina Y Bar

As a Food Blogger, I like to visit eateries that are new or ones I haven’t been to (in that order). On a wet and blustery night, together with fellow bloggers Tempting Palates, we checked out one of the new kids on the block along the Marina Pier, Si Senorita. Serving Spanish tapas they offer…

Kalye

Ever since the Bon Jing Filipino food truck, Adelaide is seeing a steady stream of Filo offerings in the form of barbecue and street food. The latest place to open it’s doors is Kalye, which is located down The Parade in the Norwood cafe precinct. The menu is simple with small dishes and sweets, and…

Rumi Palace

When we talk about European or Asian food, we refer to the cuisines from the countries in those regions. Quite similarly, Persian food covers countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and many others. While this type of cuisine is nothing new to Adelaide, Rumi Palace is one of the first of its kind in…

Henley Surf Life Saving Club

When a friend suggested we eat at the Henley Surf Life Saving Club, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Set in a modern building just off Henley Square, the upstairs dining area has magnificent high ceilings and breath taking views of the sea. The menu isn’t as spectacular with a small selection of snacks,…

Pattaya Thai – Somerton Park

It was just over a year ago that I ate at Pattaya Thai in North Adelaide. Little did I know, they also had a restaurant in Somerton Park. If external appearance is anything to go by, the Somerton Park store is like the ugly cousin. The external signs are faded and graffiti is written all…

McDonald’s – Port Adelaide – Create Your Taste

When this food blog was first started, I told myself I would never review a large fast food chain, particularly McDonald’s. Mind you, they have tried to reinvent themselves over the years with salads and healthier burger options. Their concept on trial in Adelaide is “Create Your Taste” where you use a touch screen to…

Astonish Patisserie – New Savoury Menu

Adelaide Food Central was invited by Astonish Patisserie to taste a few items off their new brunch menu that was introduced earlier this month.  All food and drink were provided free of charge. Astonish is run by a chef who graduated from the prestigious pastry school, Le Cordon Bleu. Until recently the restaurant was only…

Henley Beach Hotel

If reviews are anything to go by, the Henley Beach Hotel is a place that you’ll love or hate. As far as location goes, it’s perfect as you’re right on the Esplanade and the bistro dining area has views of the sea. The thing that appealed to me was their weekday lunch special where you…
