Usually visited by older patrons, I have only actually dined at Grimaldi’s once in the many years I’ve been in Adelaide. Grimaldi’s is my must-have stop for it’s “Legendary Tiramisu” – aptly named on it’s menu. The food was still delicious and the portions were just right. I had the salmon (below) and it was […]
Hanabishi
Hanabishi is where I go to satisfy my salmon cravings. The first time I went there was an interesting experience as it is located in the business area so all the other customers were office workers and looked and me and my friend oddly as it was probably unusual to see a student there. My […]
Vietnam Restaurant
This restaurant is a must-visit for me every time I find myself back in Adelaide. It has been going strong for many, many years and is still fully packed even now! We almost always order the same few dishes everytime (they are just too good) which you can see from these pictures! Also their coconut […]
Hut & Soul
Located near the city, Hut&Soul is a refreshingly authentic taste of home for me. It doesn’t hurt that family friends are part of the staff either! If you’re looking for authentic Malaysian / Indonesian food, Hut & Soul is exactly the place to go. During my years in Adelaide, authentic Malaysian food I liked were […]
Luigi Delicatessen
A small italian cafe located within walking distance to Rundle Mall, Luigi’s have an interesting menu worth trying! Despite the small menu of 5 breakfast and 5 lunch items, all of them are unique and delicious even to someone who doesn’t have pasta often. You also have the option of ordering a sharing platter, which […]
Phở Minh
Still my all-time favourite phở place, it’s often packed if you come at 12pm, so expect to wait up to 30minutes in a rush. Outside of these hours, or during weekday lunches, you will likely be able to get a table relatively quick. Phở Minh isn’t as well-known as other places probably due to it’s […]
Zauo: Fishing Izakaya
Zauo has various restaurants across Japan and we were lucky to have one near our hotel. The restaurant’s selling point is their indoor fish pond where you have the opportunity to fish for your own dinner! Apparently each restaurant is designed a little differently, and as you can see here the one we visited had […]
Hassan: shabu-shabu and sushi specialty restaurant
My brother’s go-to shabu-shabu place in Roppongi, Tokyo. It is a nice, quiet, fine dining restaurant so you’ll need to be prepared to spend some money but it goes by all-you-can-eat style so it’s worth it (especially if you go in a group!) in my opinion. Obviously, everything is refillable and the menu you’re given […]
Ganso Kujiraya (元祖 くじら屋)
The sign out front says it all: “We are a whale meat restaurant.” The meals come in sets (like the one at the bottom) with you choosing how you want the whale meat prepared for your main dish. Left to right from the pictures we had: raw whale sashimi, whale skin (separate dish), whale steak, […]
Krimper
Personally one of my favourite go-to brunch places in Melbourne. As you can see, everyone I’ve brought here said they’d never have realized this was a cafe from the warehouse-looking entrance. Inside looks equally minimalistic and rustic, yet also warm and cozy at the same time. As a creature of habit, I almost always have the […]
