Pattaya Thai – North Adelaide

When most kitchens are closing up after 9pm, Pattaya Thai, on the northern end of O’Connell Street is still cooking up a storm. The decor is neat and elegant, although some parts of the store aren’t as well lit as others. The menu offers all your traditional Thai favourites and the seating at this place…

Tiger Lilly

Tiger Lilly is a small cafe on the busy Melbourne Street cafe precinct. Seating exactly 44, the chairs and tables are nicely spaced without being too close to each other. The decor is nothing to write home about with a few decorative fans and paintings adorning the walls. The place does look it could do…

Malacca Corner

Malacca Corner is a small Malaysian eatery on the eastern side of the Central Markets. The decor is basic and tidy with a no frills appearance about it. The place has menus, however, the ones most often looked at are the ones stuck to the door and wall. Today, I ordered the Pad Thai. The…

Taste Of Asia

Taste Of Asia is an Asian eatery located right in the heart of the CBD on Gawler Place. The dining area boasts magnificent high ceilings from the double storey height and it takes advantage of the floor to ceiling glass frontage which maximises the amount of natural light. Other than that, this place is very…

Cafe Pantai

Cafe Pantai is a Thai and Malay eatery tucked away in the Oaks Plaza Pier Hotel in Glenelg. The signage isn’t great and it’s not the easiest place to find, but if you walk along the beach side entrance of the hotel, it’s the first place on the right as you go through the revolving…

Long House Cafe

While having dessert at Sir Cafe, the owner tipped me off about a new Malaysian cafe on Hutt Street called Long House. Keen to see what they’re all about, I decided to pay them a visit. The first thing you notice about this place is the pink facade. As you enter the cafe, the main…

Wok On Water

Wok on Water is a Thai restaurant, located metres from the beach, on Seaview Road. The place is small with seating for about 15 people, because of this, most of their clientele are take away customers. There is only one good seat in the entire place and that is in the south west corner facing…

Thai Spice

For a restaurant, Thai Spice is deceptively larger than it appears. With entrances from the front and rear, I think you could easily fit 80 people in here. With that being said, there is limited parking at the rear of the restaurant, so I can’t see this place ever being a full house. The decor…

Thai In A Wok

Thai In A Wok is a small to medium sized place on the north western side of Hindmarsh Square. The decor is basic and neat, with the use of commercial chairs and tables being quite prominent. There’s adequate space between adjacent tables, which is a good thing. My initial impression of this place wasn’t a…

Saigon Gate

Saigon Gate is a restaurant located towards the northern end of O’Connell Street. The menu is primarily Vietnamese, however, some of their items are a fusion of other Asian cuisines. The place is traditionally decorated with a seating capacity of about 70. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was pretty good. The…
