Hidden away in the Foodland Shopping Centre on Henley Beach Road is Hang Bakery. They sell an assortment of sweets, pastries, fresh bread and your common variety of Vietnamese rolls.

Sammy’s On The Marina
I must admit I’ve always been reluctant to come to Sammy’s due to the overwhelming number of negative reviews.

Paul’s Seafood on Gouger Street has been around for nearly 70 years. The decor is nothing flash, however it still comes across as being neat and presentable.

It’s not as impressive as some other places,…
