Lemongrass Vietnamese Meat Rolls
I was feeling a bit adventurous today. In the mood for a Vietnamese roll, the plan was to drive down Prospect Road and order one from every shop that I came across. According to the Banh Mi phone application, there were at least 5 places to visit. Unless the signage was really poor, I could…
Soonta – Waymouth St
Out of the three Soonta stores, this particular one on Waymouth Street seems to be the most popular. Everytime I’ve walked past, there’s always a line 10 people long. Like their other stores, there’s a selection of Vietnamese rolls, salad bowls, noodle bowls, cold rolls and spring rolls to choose from. For lunch, I ordered…

Adelaide City Snack Bar
I recently downloaded a smartphone application called “Banh Mi Locator” which tells me all the nearest stores where I can buy Vietnamese rolls based on my current location. Looking at the list generated, I discover I haven’t visited the Adelaide City Snack Bar located further down Angus Street. The application tells me that their Roast…
New Taste Noodle Bar
The New Taste Noodle Bar wasn’t my first choice in lunch destination, and it was only because the place I was supposed to go to, was unexpectedly closed. Set in a complex on Frederick Road, this quaint little store offers Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food (This should have been my warning sign right here. I…
