Sushi Train – Unley

As far as Sushi Train franchises go, I think this one is one of the best. The store is modern and spacious, and the customer turnover is high which means the sushi is fresher. The place is amazingly popular. There was a line up the whole time we were there and even when we walked…

The Mac Factory

No, this place doesn’t supply Apple products! The Mac Factory makes every macaron flavour under the sun, and they also do breakfasts! It’s no surprise that a place that specialises in making macarons does them so well. Firm and crispy outer shells with light fluffy fillings that melt in your mouth. Today, I came here for…

Wah Hing

As I make my way through every Chinese restaurant down Gouger Street, the next place on the “places to eat” list is Wah Hing. The venue itself is long and narrow, with possible seating for about 50, and the front entrance can be a little deceiving, as it looks like you’re walking past windows. The…

Kopi Tim

Kopi Tim is a nice little Malaysian place close the centre of Gouger Street. I’m not sure whether there is a function area at the back of the premises, but the dining area at the front is quite small. With seating for about 20, we were presented with an area that was simple and yet…

Bake A Break

It’s not uncommon to see at least one food court store sell pies, pasties, sausage rolls, cakes and coffee these days. For the Myer Centre food court, Bake A Break is the store. Today, I was intrigued by their cute little Penguin Meringues. At $3.50, these sweets are way overpriced, but they certainly make a…

Dessert Story

My mother would actually love Dessert Story. The sago and tofu puddings, the taro and bean desserts and the various jellies and ice creams are what Mum would have had when she was growing up. I’m not so sure about the bubble tea or shaved ice, as that appears to be a relatively new concept….

Creperie Bruxelles

A friend told me about Creperie Bruxelles several weeks before it opened. I could have rocked up on the first day, but I find new businesses need to find their feet, in order to show customers what they really can offer. Knowing this, I decided to wait a few weeks and let the hype die…

Pure & Natural

Pure and Natural is a food place in the City Cross food court. With fresh salads and salad rolls on offer, you start to feel healthy just by standing in front of the place. Today, I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Salad. This consisted of marinated chicken, mixed salad, tomato, cucumber, sun dried tomatoes and olives….
