Adelaide Adventure

Pepperonata (AUD 12). Tomato based stew with capsicum, eggplant, green olives, capers, onions and drizzled with olive oil, served with bread for dipping. The flavour of the stew is really hearty and the sweetness from the veggies blended so well together, making a simple dish like this required some really fresh produce. The let down point in this dish is the bread, the texture is hard and a little stale i would say.

Creamy scrambled egg and avo spread on toast, with mix greens and hummus.

Sauteed mushroom and poached egg on top of pumpkin toast, served with guacamole, spicy capsicum spread, salmon pâté, greens, shaved cheese. All the ingredients are from Coles except the salmon pâté which we got it from Udder Delights. Making brunch at home can be as beautiful and delicious as eating out.

Pink moscato from Wirra Wirra Wines, soft, creamy brie cheese from Central Market cheese stall, crackers, smoked salmon and Saralee's cheesecake from Coles. Some greens and fruits would be even better, but who is complaining?

Traditional pork minced sliced noodle soup (AUD 13.80 for large). A very authentic bowl of chinese sliced noodle soup, the noodle itself is very chewy and QQ. You can see the chef freshly slice the noodle from a huge board of dough into the boiling water at the open kitchen. Personally i love to add the vinegar into the soup as it cuts down the greasiness but without it is still good.

This is from a newly opened 18th Street Hot Pot restaurant located nearby central market. Their soup has different level of spices ( I chose 大辣 aka super spicy but it is not spicy at all). You get to choose your favourite ingredients to add into your bowl, from veggies, mushrooms, meatballs, meats and noodles. Their price is about AUD 3 per 100g of food (minimum 400g), i recommend to get the rice cake, fried fish and frozen tofu! This is by far one of the food I missed the MOST in Adelaide.

Harissa Smoked Salmon Bruschetta (AUD 18), generous serving of smoked salmon on ciabatta, served with avocado salsa and beetroot hummus.
Baked Tomato And Egg (AUD 17.50), a pot of tomato goodness with eggplants, onion, feta cheese and spices, served with turkish bread.
Grilled Halloumi And Eggplant (AUD 17), huge slices of grilled salty halloumi and eggplants on top of some mix greens, topped with crispy leb bread then drizzle with pomegranate molasses.

Char grilled cauliflower with quinoa taboulli and beetroot hummus.

Banana bread french toast (AUD 15) served with fresh strawberries and nutella drizzle. The banana bread is dense and very rich, packful of banana fragrance and a little cinnamon touch. the nutella adds too much sweetness to the dish, overall it is average.

Their Belinger is stuffed with lots of thick creamy custard in the middle. The doughnut is coated with sugar then drizzle with more sugar glazed. It is a little too sweet for me so I peeled off the sugar on top and it is just nice. I actually came for their monthly special (toblerone) but by the time I reached their they were already sold out. If you want to hop for their special do give them a call ahead before going there.
