It seems like this place has been a gem for many years. Specialising in Malaysian cuisine, what you will find here is cheap tasty eats. Noodles & Laksa are the house faves. It's generally what I see everyone eating here. The restaurant set up is kind of old and messy. But I guess it is more of a quick eat for lunch type of place. Going with the chefs recommendation, I went for the Fried Mee Hoon with vermicelli noodles. Great option for those who are gluten intolerant. All noodle dishes and laksa can be made with vermicelli noodles. The dish was made fast, so if you are in a rush this is a good spot. Nice smoky wok flavour though the noodles, fresh chicken and bbq pork. Although frozen style prawns were tossed through. I really only like fresh prawns, so that was a bit disappointing. But, the dish was good overall. Look, this is not my favourite place for food in the markets. But a good option if want to avoid the food halls, get something fast and cheap!

I will definitely go back to try to the other dishes on the menu, eg Cambodian curry, fish noodle soup, Chicken Amok etc.

It's about time. Reflecting the open air (although the cafe isn't) hawker food type, you'll find most of the Malaysian hawker food on the menu. From the spicy and super delicious nasi lemak as Chloe mentioned to the various types of roti canai's, Malaysia just got a bit closer on the map of SA! I checked out their summer menu and all I can say is..just like home! Ice kacang ( a sweetened dish with ice shavings), cendol and the famed teh tarik is a winner!! Find them just across the main Adelaide train station. Definitely cheaper than Kopitim.

I tried other dishes like Nasi goreng, Beef rib soup and Hainanese rice--my husband's favorite -- and they are consistently delicious (generous servings too). I highly recommend this Malaysian fastfood. Actually, their place and meal presentation looks highly appealing that you couldnt help but get drawn to it even just to take a quick look at their menu. If there's one thing that I dont find impressive is the customer service...many times they just look unfriendly. My husband for eg. Asked one staff if he can grab more tissues. Instead of saying a simple 'yes' (or no lol), the girl in a quite condescending tone said "it's in front of you".... Man! My hubby was silently pissed off. He even swore to himself not to eat there again. Actually we havent come back after that incident but it wasnt really intentional, we just wanted to try other restos. Sometimes he still mentions his craving for their Beef ribs and Hainanese rice. Im sure we'll eat there again in the future. Like he said we are there for the food not for the people. Lol

The little chilli padi is by no means fancy but will definitely hit the spot if your after malay flavours such as roti canai and curry chicken, nasi lemak, kway teo and dumplings. Their kway teo was amazing and gave my mums a run for her money! (Sorry mum!) It is a very humble place, the staff are lovely and service is neither fast no slow. There were a lot of people collecting large quantities of take away which leads me to believe the little chilli padi is a regular following for locals! We will certainly go back if not for the affordable prices for the delicious meals. They also have a selection of authentic desserts and malay drinks you would find on the streets of KL but struggle too in other restaurants in Adelaide. The Little Chilli Padi does not boast to be an amazing restaurant, it is simple a small malay kitchen that serves authentic food and does so very well! I'll be back for the Laksa special! (Tuesdays only!)

It's Malaysian restaurant…read more First, the environment. Mahogony wooden furnitures gives the feel of classic south east asian feel. Good source of lightings from the downlights coupled with 3 decorative lamps combined to bring a nice relaxing ambience to the place. There are pictures of different types of chillies to bring home the point of 'spice' (as their name suggest). However, even though I said that the ambience is relaxing, when the crowd starts arriving, the place is noisy... like really noisy .. you will really need to talk a bit loudly than you normally would in order to get yourself heard. Today's crowd is comparably less crowded and it's still noisy. When you enter into the restaurant, they will bring you to a table as well as the menu. Choices galore on the menu on the front and back. Once you've decided what you wanted to eat, you can make your way to the counter and make your order. You would have to pay on the spot. The cashier on duty has good grasp of english and knowledgeable on their food on the menu. I've overheard her conversation with the customer before me where she explained the difference between the 'normal' laksa and the Sarawak laksa listed on their board. I made my orders shortly after. It was quick. The food though took awhile to arrive. To be fair, the cashier did politely inform me before I made my orders that they are fairly busy, and there will be a 'slightly' longer than usual wait. Anyhoo. The drinks were served first. Milo Dinosaur and Teh Tarik. Dinosaur is cold milo topped with milo powder. (They also have the Milo Godzilla which is topped with icecream.) Teh tarik is pulled froth milk tea (wonder if that's the right description :/) The taste are alrighty. Nothing too fancy, or really blows me away. Next came the entree dish - Deep fried fish balls. I like the taste, reminds me of the fishballs I can buy back in Singapore's pasar malam(street market). The beef nasi lemak came. That's my wife dinner. I had tasted a bit. Good coconut aroma from the rice. That's a plus. The rendang beef is indeed spicy. And slight salty, but tasty. Coupled with the hard boil egg, sliced cucumbers and ikan billis, her dinner is a fair 4 star. My dinner came last. Beef hor fun. First impression. Not enough chopped green chilli served together, one look and I can see 3 chopped pieces only.. I mean, what's the point then. :/ This is served with some bak choy and slice beef. They are all stirred fried together. The beef is chewy, but not too hard. Still ok. It's the sauce that I'm not really a fan of. It's fairly watery, resulting in a rather bland taste tonight. I would say that the portion is rather small also. Overall, I would say that the beef hor fun at Nanyang (if that place is still around, I haven't swing by for a while now.. haha) is way better. Overall, considering the good and meh. This is definitely a place I would still visit. First, it's down southern end from the city, which is nearer to where I live, plus the choices of south east asian food definitely means that I can try other food as well. I'm not a good spice eater, but good spicy food are rather hard to come by in this city. So yeah, I'll be back. :)

Ying Chow, the rock and roller of the Chinese Restaurant world…read more This fast paced, late night Chinese eatery has a strong local following and is always busy and vibrant up until its late closing hour of 1:00 in the morning. Lodged somewhere between restaurant and nightspot, you will most likely find a sea of people crowded around the front door during normal weekend eating hours. Getting a table is often tough, and bookings are advised. Also don't expect a quiet evening, there is more than likely to be a table of twenty something twenty somethings riotously shouting feasting and swilling jugs of sangria within millimeters of your ear drum. But don't be dismayed, that's why most people come here. A restaurant best suited for gatherings of old friends or a spot of people watching, for those who enjoy eating and drinking within an ambiance of "something happening." Seating is likely to be haphazard, close knit and most probably within the middle of a walk way. But the food is great, affordable and quick. There are both indoor and outdoor tables, each with a strong ambiance of their own.

I have drove pass this restaurant for many years but never thought about coming in. So when a…read morefriend invited me to join them for dinner, I can't say no to them. Located on a quiet business district on Port Road, this small restaurant serves communal Uighur dishes. When we arrived we were seated on a round table where there was a small round glass turntable place at the center, which came in handy later as we didn't need to reach out to share each other dishes. The menu is accompanied by photographs and its translated name, which makes ordering a little easier and allows us to identify our dishes when it arrived. The staff who took our order won't very friendly and spoke broken English. I ordered the stir-fry meat with onions and spices which arrived 30 minutes after ordering. At first glance I thought my dish looks a bit odd, I've had never seen bread added in a stir-fly dish before. Normally stir-fly is served with rice but serve with bread seem strange to me. The bread is very similar to garlic bread but spicy and best consume when it is still hot. The meat was well marinated and when stir-fly with the onions it was very tasty, but there were too much of the spicy bread. Lucky I was with my friends who were more than happy to eat the rest for me. The servicing size of many of the dishes were more than enough for one person and are intended to be share amount friends. I get to sample many different dishes and I thought the handmade noodles were really delicious. There are no alcohol beverages serve here but plenty of tea, soft drinks and tap water. Overall I had a good time dinning at this restaurant but there are some room for improvement especially with the service. The prices are affordable considering the size of some of the dishes. Many of their dishes are very spicy, so make sure you have a drink on the side. If you and your friends are looking to try something new give this place a try.

I also liked their durian smoothies. This time, I ordered the combination rice and hubby chose the spicy beef noodle soup. He ended up ordering his own combination rice. (He's not satisfied with sharing plate hahaha) I love the combination rice. I think this is one dish that I'll keep ordering here from now on lol. I'm more of a 'rice meal" person and this dish is like perfect for me. All the ingredients are appealing for my taste --- the crispy pork, the sunny side up egg, meat loaf and the vermicelli. I also love the vinegar dip which makes the dish tastier! Oh and this is served with a small bowl of yummy broth. I also tried hubby's spicy beef bowl but I was too keen with my own plate so I just find the noodle soup ok. Customer service wise, the girl who took our order and prepared our table wasnt friendly --- looks so bored, didnt even smile. But the guy who served our meal is very nice and cheerful.

I visited Thanh-Thanh for the first time on Tuesday and was absolutely blown away…read more I had seen it hiding down that little alley way that is Field Street, and had been meaning to hit it up for some time. Finally that opportunity arose. I was pretty much in it for the Pho, which is probably my favorite Vietnamese dish and I wanted to see where they ranked. They pretty much topped the town. There was a number of different options available, which for starters was welcome change. I almost regret now not being a bit more adventurous and ordering ordering one the more special pho's on offer, such as the combination which included tripe and meatballs. However, the fresh beef slice pho which I ordered was really too good to complain about. Served with a plate of fresh beenshoots, coriander, basil and a big bowl of fresh chili (which i might add was perfectly temperatured) the fragrant broth was delicious and the lightly cooked meat was juicy and tender. There was chili sauce on the table which I tried separate to the pho to see what it was like. It had that characteristic peanut taste that is present everywhere other than china town cafe and which I find a bit unpleasant. An oddity I noticed was the service of the cutlery of which I have uploaded a photo. Between the two of us we were presented with one western fork, one western spoon a set of chopsticks and an asian style soup spoon aesthetically arranged, but with no concordance as to which implement belonged to whom. Don't know whether this is some sort of cultural tradition or just an all bases covered approach, either way it was quite amusing.
