Rain Modern Asian Bistro

After coming from a late afternoon movie session, we were wandering down The Parade and stumbled across Rain. While looking at the menu from outside the bistro, the first thing that caught our eye was the extensive selection of items that were on offer. Calling themselves an Asian bistro meant they had a lot of…

O’Sushi O’Bento

O’Sushi O’Bento is a Japanese food outlet in the Central Markets food court. As their name suggests, they sell sushi and bento boxes. Ordering is simple, you go up to the counter and pay, they give you a ticket and you wait. Today, I ordered the Spicy Yakiniku bento box. The dish was ready after…

Royal Oak Hotel

The Royal Oak is a pub located on busy O’Connell Street in North Adelaide. While the exterior has a quaint facade, the interior is like a 1950’s unrenovated urban warehouse. We sat at a table that was made from recycled cinema seats, although the furnishings around us seemed to be a mish mash of throw…

Cocolat – Adelaide Airport

People usually go to airports because they have to fly somewhere, they’re in transit or they’re seeing someone off. Rarely do they come here just to hang out, but today, a group of friends and I just came to the airport for dessert. It sounded crazy, but in the end it was a good decision…

Pantry On Egmont

Before I start this review, I’d like to go into how I rate places. Every place starts off with 3 stars. For every point I feel is positive, they go up a star, and for every negative they go down. Of course, depending on bad the negative point is, they might go down 2 stars….

Yiros Centre

If I’m looking for alone time, I’ll grab a yiros with extra garlic sauce and onions. My breath will be so garlicky, even the vampires will stay away. Usually the only people I can speak to, are the people that had a yiros with me. With the amount of mess a yiros makes, it’s not…

Two-Bit Villains

Two Bit Villains (TBV) is a soda bar, diner and clothing store in the upper level of the beautiful Adelaide Arcade. I knew there were shops upstairs, but I didn’t even know the location of the stairs until tonight. Coming up here was a real treat because you could closely admire the magnificent architecture of…

Bali Corner

Bali Corner is a take away store in the International Food Plaza food court in Chinatown. The place offers traditional “Warung” style Indonesian food and their menu uses fresh locally sourced ingredients. Fresh spices and chili are predominant in their dishes which are essential to Indonesian cuisine. Today, I ordered the Beef Rendang. The dish…

Windy Point Restaurant – Festival of Food 2013

If I was planning on proposing to a woman, one of the locations where it would possibly happen, would be at the Windy Point Restaurant. I would book a table for two, seated by the window, overlooking the city at night. Towards the end of the dinner, I would order two glasses of champagne. While…

Vegie Village

Vegie Village is a small Malay vegetarian eatery located in the western part of the city. The place is basically decorated with IKEA tables, chairs and glasses, and seats a maximum of 25 people. There’s a good variety of dishes on their menu and enough to satisfy the pickiest of vegetarians. The staff are nice…
