    Pork meat roll
    David T.

    Pork Meat Roll Review only: I am running a three P scoring system here for my review of the Chicken & Pig (CnP) pork meat roll. Namely, Product, Portion and Price. As has been said, CnP do not advertise as a 'Banh Mi' joint or a 'takeaway' joint. Last week there were lines down the street waiting to get a hold of one of these new 'meat rolls' or salads on offer from the team at Pizza E Mozzarella. According to anecdotal evidence, the chook and pork are slow cooked in the wood ovens at PeM and are carted down the road in the morning once they're ready to serve from 11.30am onwards, until sold out. And they were sold out quickly in their first week. Every man and his dog was in for a nosey. I had decided to see what the fuss was all about the day after a long weekend, and the line was actually not at all a problem today. The service was friendly and the options seem tres gourmet, but I just opted for the meat roll option. Product (3/5): The bread I had was a german-style chewy white bread roll. Chewy as in I felt like I was playing tug-o-war with my lunch. And it's fairly hard work on the jaws to chew through the dough. The bread was nice, but it could have done with a little more 'crunch n crumble'. I opted for the flavoured butter option, which was in good proportion (I can't stand when it tastes like you're eating a butter roll, unless of course you're actually eating just a buttered roll). Here is where it got lost in itself a bit. Salad choices included shredded white cabbage, or shredded iceberg lettuce. OK, I get that it is not a banh mi, but the banh mi is so popular for lots of reasons, including the usual dyno salad fare served up. Crunchy pickled carrot and daikin. Succulent juicy cucumber. Coriander. I feel that product differentiation requires a full understanding of the competition, and knowing your weak spots as far as appeal goes. This is definitely one of the weak spots for CnP. But I digress... Sauce choices are red or green - nice and simple for the customer to choose with a full description on hand for easy reference. I chose the red as the green seemed to lack heat kick. Plus I got extra chilli too. Onto the meat/portion issue... Portion (2/5): Slow-cooked meats are a cost-effective way to eat that doesn't take a lot of effort. And they usually taste world-class; Which seems to have been taken as carte blanche here to charge considerably more than what seems reasonable. The meat is served on a set of scales right in front of you. Mine came out at 88 grams. The lady two before me got 180g in her salad. The guy behind me got 130g in his pork roll! Apparently I seem to give off a 'he needs to eat smaller portions!' vibe?! Safe to say, I needed to grab a filler roll elsewhere. (side note: after I had finished my CnP roll I went for a 20 minute walk to see if it had filled me up. It had not.) PLUS, no crackling! In a roast pork roll! That's just not cricket. The meat is really juicy and tasty, and its flavours complemented the rest of the roll really well, but no crackling?! Come on! Price (2/5): As I mentioned above, the price seems to not be in line with the competition or the product on offer. You literally walk in, line up, choose what you want and pay within a minute (if there is no line). You get your food dished up in a cardboard box and you're on your way in two minutes. This isn't like a fancy restaurant where servers wait on you, advise what is good, help with the wine choices, have a light laugh with you and allow you to enjoy the ambience of a nice time out and about with good company dining on fine china and drinking from elegant crystal wine glasses. It is fast food, done pretty well. Takeaway. Whatever you want to call it, I don't think there is a justification here to slap a fancy restaurant price on a fast food product. But that is just my humble opinion. Conclusion (overall 2/5): There are plenty of costs, fixed and variable, that a business like CnP need to consider, I understand that, and more, as a bean counter. But, at this price point, and the fact that I didn't get any crackling in my pork roll, I can't see myself flooding back anytime soon. Side note: My colleague got a 330mL bottle of coke zero. It cost him $4.

It's fairly common to see a line out the door when you get close to MM on James Place, busy as is the majority of food businesses down JP. But don't fear! The turnover is high yes, but the wait is not long and the quality of food/service doesn't suffer for it. A pretty standard fare for a vietnamese banh mi joint, i always go for either roast pork or lemongrass chicken but they also have honey chicken or tofu. When i first started going here i baulked at their interpretation of 'extra hot chilli', but it seems they've upped their game and you can now get a decent heat kick if you so desire (and i do always desire it hot hot hot!) Plenty of tasty options for all at a great price and reasonably quick to serve...what more could one ask for?! Get on it!

After leaving Adelaide about 2 years, I still try to make their special winter drink turmeric milk at home. It's a gold, warm, sweet yet healthy drink with goji in it.

This extension of Goodies an Grains just shows how successful they are as a business. The Kitchen offers a range of lunch items (salads, sandwiches, pasties, slices & bars) and a juice bar. In fact, they cater for a lot of dietary requirements which is great to see. There are lots of gluten free, vego, vegan and paleo options. The juice menu is exactly the same as next door. But, since this is probably the most popular juice destination in the Adelaide Central Market, they keep themselves busy. The Glorious Green is what its name suggests. Packed full of refreshing green veg and fruit. This is like my pick me up or lunch sub when I am in a rush. Every time I have chugged this juice, I just get so much energy afterwards. It's earthy, not sweet. The celery in this one really stands out. So, if you are not a fan of earthy tasting green juices, order something else. Everything on the menu is great! I am sure you will find something that appeals to you.

Sumo Salad also offers baguettes as an alternative to the salads but I always find the rolls to be a bit too sense and slightly stale. Poor alternatives to the nearby Subway in the food court. Do yourself a favour and hit up Fiesta Yiros to satisfy lunch time cravings.

Love Pho doesn't offer the best banh-mi, but it's tasty and drowning in soy, which some other trendy places neglect (although it does throw them to the thin ice side of salty). You have your choice of grilled chicken, terriyaki chicken, roast pork and pork belly, which aren't all that traditional, but they tend to be the standard offerings these days. In the end, you can get a tasty, quick lunch without a line. The foodcourt setting means that, if your companions aren't fans of a Vietnamese meat roll (why are you companions??), then they can get their fill of yiros or whatever. I can't comment on the other menu offerings, but if I'm in the Myer Centre then Love Pho offer a reasonable option.

They put so much meat in their banh mi (cold pork/chicken roll) and it was high quality meat.. perfect about of chili. Have also tried their cold noodle salad with combination meat (pork, chicken, prawn) which was great for a hot day. Cheap cheap at $5.50 for the roll (large enough for lunch) and $8.00 for a salad. It's a crowded food court though, and so not the nicest place to hang out with your food. I'd suggest taking it across North Tce to the little strip of park.
