Viet Menu – Noarlunga

When I first found out that Viet Menu was located inside the food court at Colonnades Shopping Centre, I was probably a bit skeptical as to how good this place could be. There’s a common perception that food from a food court is of average quality at best, and I must admit, I’ve had a…

Bonjour Vietnam

Some of the most authentic Vietnamese cuisine is not found in the city centre but out in the western suburbs where the community actually live. A fine example of this is the Bonjour Vietnam restaurant which offers an extensive range of classic homestyle dishes. There are entrees, soups, salads, stir fried dishes, noodle dishes, deep…

Khang’s Noodles

I recently received some free movie tickets from work and saw this as a opportunity to catch up for dinner with a friend. The Arndale cinemas was the movie destination, and located right behind the complex was Khang’s Noodles. I’ve driven past this place on many occasions and have heard good things. The restaurant is…

PappaRich

Adelaide Food Central was invited to the opening launch of PappaRich on Gouger Street. All food and drink were provided free of charge. The first PappaRich store opened in Malaysia a decade ago and has since expanded to 70 stores across the globe. With 16 stores here in Australia, their success is largely attributed to…

Penang Restaurant

Located in a small laneway that connects King William, Hindley and Currie Streets, is Penang, a restaurant that has been serving up Malaysian Chinese cuisine over the last 20 years. The menu offers some Penang signature dishes that includes various fried noodles, noodle soups, rice dishes and curries. The restaurant has a main dining section…

Moonsoon

When I first briskly walked past this place at the beginning of the year, I initially thought the name of this restaurant was “Monsoon”. It seemed a bit odd that they would use the same name as an Indian restaurant also in North Adelaide. After a bit of research, I discovered they were “Moonsoon”, a…

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…

Rose Garden Thai

Don’t judge a restaurant by its crappy decor. This rings very true, particularly for this place. The external appearance of this place reminds me of a run down crack house, while the internal is a bit more presentable. I would never have considered this place had I not read some positive reviews of the place….

Danny’s Thai Bistro

Located on the Parade, Danny’s Thai Bistro offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The decor is modern with framed newspaper cutouts on one section of the wall to indicate how good this place is. The staff were friendly and inviting, however the service was quite slow, particularly during busy periods. Tonight, a group of us…
