    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.

    Oh yeah, this is one f*cking awesome food truck!…read more Today I sampled both the southern-style chicken and slaw bun with pickles, onion rings and ranch, as well as the Texas pulled pork and slaw bun with BBQ corn and BB pickles. (both $9) In a word? YUM-AZING. To top it off, they have *cherry* Dr. Pepper in the fridge. These guys literally cannot get any damn better! The truck shows up in various spots around the CBD for lunchtime, so check their FB page for where they're going to be on a given day. They usually announce it the night before, along with the menu items they'll be serving.

    American Diner Food on the road. Need a good serve of…read moreAmerican Diner food? Well this Van is the one for you. The Van may be small but the flavours are not. There's usually only 2 or 3 choices served each time the Van is on the road. You get to choose from some of the following tasty treats: Toasted Rueben, Texas Pulled Pork Roll, Pastrami on Rye, Cajun Prawn Po Boy, Beef Debris Po Boy, Philly Cheese Steak, Southern Fried Chicken Bun or even a Salad and of course the always present Deep Fried Pickles The home made Slaw is an excellent add on the great tasting meats used and even a BBQ Corn Cob that comes with the Pulled Pork Roll adds an extra something. The flavours are just great and at a decent price. To top it all off the owner/staff in the Van are great, going out of their way to remember their regulars. a real nice touch.

    Great new spot for comfort food in the market…read more Make sure you look for it in the Market Arcade and not in the Central Market (which I did for 15 minutes...) Once I did find it I was welcomed by friendly staff. Basic toasties at $7.50 and more adventurous toasties are $9.50, each with about 2 or 3 different ingredients. Looks like each toastie takes max 5 minutes to make and if you dine in, it comes with a little salad too. I tried the Tandoori Chicken toastie on recommendation from the staff and was not disappointed. Coffee was pretty good too. Great for a quick lunch if you're in the area, don't forget to leave a note on the blackboard too!

    Toasties... Mmmmm. What can possibly go wrong?…read more The newly opened Tohsti is already getting a bit of a buzz and was featured in CityMag awhile ago. It's conveniently located in the newly revamped (check out all the new stores!) Central Market arcade, best located near the entrance coming in from Gouger St. The 'gourmet' toasties start form $9.50, they also do house shakes etc and a whole slew of other brilliant creations. If sweet toasties are you thing, they do that too! I got the roast pork, sauerkraut and cheese toastie with pumpkin bread which was pretty damn good. It comes with a salad as well which makes the meal perfect! I also go the Agro milkshake - give them a go! Protip: Come before or after lunchtime, it gets pretty busy and service can be lacking a bit.

We thought okay fair, but then we looked around and noticed they didn't ask anyone else this. I even asked the table next to me if they had to pay before ordering and was told no? When confronted the worker about this we were met with silence. didn't seem to acknowledge us even when tried to get their attention. Food all came 1 by 1 and after an hour not everything was out yet. Not only that worse pancakes ever! Surely Adelaide worse restaurant.

Brother Gavin got Jamaican banana add Nutella which was great, mother got the blueberry and I got the jubilee. We all really enjoyed our pancakes but we didn't enjoy the spiders. The ice cream was great but not to sure about the soda as it tasted slightly watered down. We found the service at the pancake kitchen great our favourite staff member was named Matt. Matt was a great milkshake maker and overall had an amazing vibe. Our second favourite part was the maple syrup that we were able to have as much as we wanted of. Thankyou for a great night pancake kitchen we will be back again for sure xx

The staff are friendly and always welcoming. Can get very busy around usual lunch time but there is always plenty of staff on to handle the orders.

For those of us not working in the City, and for those around of us unlucky enough to be at this end of Greenhill Road, there is Eat. A small family run cafe. The large blue board has a wide range of sandwiches and wraps, hot snacks, roast dinners and pastas, and everything can be just as you want it. Eat in or takeaway, they don't mind. The staff are friendly, and efficient. The food itself is made fresh and of a good value. The queues speak volumes on how popular this place is, even though there are other sandwich shops in the vicinity. Go there often enough, and they will even learn your name and remember what your regular orders are. If we aren't at a pub on a Friday lunchtime, we will most likely be here tucking in to their 'Hamburger with the lot, chips on the side'. For all other times, Hot roast beef baguette or Salmon and avocado wrap!
