27 Jul – Adelaide Day 5

The last morning started off with some more breakfast buffet. I forgot to take another picture of the eggs benedict. I also tried some of the SA natural honey they had on display and some local Iced Coffee.

 

The flight back was pretty uneventful. I’m not sure if there was only one choice or they simply ran out, but I had to have a vegetarian pasta dish. It wasn’t that good.

26 Jul – Adelaide Day 4

Breakfast was eggs benedict again, but with some bacon and mushrooms this time. I also realised that you could order proper coffee, so had a cappuccino instead of the drip coffee. The hollandaise this time round was a lot more vinegary.

Lunch was some bagels with cold meats and salad and a vegetable quiche.
Gauchos, Adelaide
Supposedly, Australia’s first Argentinean restaurant .. good enough for me. Had to have a steak from an Argentinean restaurant, so after sharing some entrees, I went for a 450g bone in Porterhouse. The meat was very tasty, with the chopped garlic and supplied chimmi churri sauce. To finish, I had some churros, which were served with salted chocolate.

25 Jul – Adelaide Day 3

Breakfast this morning consisted of some mushrooms and sausages from the buffet, with some eggs benedict which can be ordered at no extra cost.

The picture makes the hollandaise look very yellow, but it was good. Two poached eggs, on top of smoked salmon and half an English muffin.

Lunch was salad and cold meat rolls, with a mustard potato salad and an assortment of cheeses.

Saizen Sushi Bar, North Adelaide

I caught up with LWA this evening and we ended up in North Adelaide, a suburb much alike Mt Lawley in Perth. Here there was a sushi train, on a real model train. The sushi was fresh, the fried food was hot and all was darn tasty. Some of the better pictures are below.

24 Jul – Adelaide Day 2

The morning started off with the hotel buffet breakfast. It was $32, and I ended up having one plate of food, consisting of bacon, scrambled eggs, baked beans and mushrooms. I also had a cup of coffee and one glass of OJ.

Lunch consisted of Thai green chicken curry and rice, with salad.

Jasmin Indian Restaurant, Adelaide

This place came recommended by some of the guys who had dined here before. Instead of ordering from the ala carte menu, the table opted for the “Feed Me” menu, which was a banquet. We went for the “Hungry” option, instead of the “Starving” option, and it was a good choice. Everyone was full by the time the food ended. The pictures are very crap due to the dim lighting of the place, and my camera phone lacking a flash.

23 Jul – Adelaide Day 1

Given the option of a pasta dish or thai red curry, I opted for the curry, knowing it would’ve catered for caucasian tastes. The curry was quite salty, even when eaten with the rice. Also included in the lunch was cheese and crackers, a boost bar, and later, cookies and cream icecream.

Cafe Kowloon Chinese Restaurant, Gouger Street, Adelaide

A colleage and I walked around Adelaide looking for potential places to eat. After heading to Rundle Mall, we eventually did the walk towards Chinatown, on Gouger Street, where there was more life about. After perusing the options, we eventually opted for this place. We opted to order our own and a couple of dishes to share.

Somehow, lemon lime and bitters was construed as beer, and so I was given a Tsingtao. Oh well, since work was paying, I drank it.

Pepper spare ribs. Deep fried tender rib goodness, with a thick gloopy pepper sauce. It was quite good, not overly salty like salt and pepper ribs, but there wasn’t a lot of peppery heat either.

Seafood claypot. It included prawns, scallop, fish, squid, tofu and vegies. It was OK, plain flavoured probably to make the seafood shine.

Beef horfun. The egg sauce was different to what I’m used to, and the noodles didn’t have a lot of wok hei. The beef and gravy was tasty though. With more wok hei, it wouldn’t been quite good.

The chilli oil served here had a lot of garlic in it too, I didn’t mind it, but much prefer the dried chilli flake oil that I’ve had in Perth and HK.

7 Jul - Hungry Jacks

CB picked up some lunch on Saturday as she was out and about. I had the Angry Whopper, after seeing the latest advertisements on TV.

It was disappointing. My burger was nothing like the advertised picture. Only the slightest amount of heat from the two bits of pickled jalapenos (the pic above has at least 3). I couldn't taste the 'spiced onions' and would've preferred the original white onions in a normal Whopper. The only benefit from the Spicy Whopper I had in Taiwan was this Angry Whopper still had the full fat mayo goodness that every Whopper should have.
