This is one of my regular supermarkets and has recently undergone a massive refurbishment, not only…read moreinside but outside and the car park as well. Another thing I noticed with the new changes is that they now have a man whose sole purpose is to hand you a basket on the way in (it is freakily starting to remind me of China where I saw someone whose sole job was to help trolleys off escalators). Anyway it is a nice feeling to be welcomed and handed a basket. The other change I like is in the fresh food section. The smallgoods and seafood areas have lovely coloured tiles behind them that, at least, make you feel like you are in a real market. The produce is beautifully displayed on ice to try and make you feel like it is fresh but they don't fool me. I only go here for such foods if I can't make it anywhere else. I personally don't like buying any fresh produce from supermarkets. Anyway it fulfils a need. The supermarket, in general, is well laid out and airy so at least you don't feel claustrophobic. It has a good selection of just about everything but in recent times I have become aware of home brands taking over all the shelves so it is hard to find the real brands. The other interesting thing about this supermarket is that in summer there are often lots of tourists from overseas doing their grocery shopping which is always entertaining.

I came here this week for a quick drop-in for one item, and I was surprised and mightily impressed…read morewith the tizzy up since I was last here. If I lived in the area I'd love to shop at this Coles, it's beautifully presented, well-laid out, and spacious. The only issue I could forsee is it may take you a few trips to find your way around as it's pretty big. The fruit and veg section is the best I've seen in a supermarket, the bakery section has a rustic ambience, although they don't bake their own finger buns here (for shame). In a nutshell - get your grocery shop on in style!

Like any asian grocery there is a variety of smells that come to your senses, whether they be good,…read moreor bad. There is a huge variety of Asian ingredients, frozen and packaged meals, crockery, beverages, and cooking utensils. It is worth making the 5 minute trip out of the city, as this place is huge, and very rarely gets crowded inside. If you are after food ready to eat, they also serve steamed dumplings at the register on the way out.

I have been a regular at T Bar for many years. Being an absolute green tea addict, this place is…read morehighly recommended if you fancy a cup of tea during the day. I call it the bible, but they actually have a menu (which is more like a small book) with their entire tea range in it. They have two pages on green tea alone! They also offer delicious food. I regularly order their porridge which is always so creamy and always hits the spot on a cold morning. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is rather relaxing, make sure you give them a visit!

Now this is a place for people who love their tea. I first discovered this place when I received…read moresome tea for my birthday, and then another friend saw them and told me how much she loved this place (she really likes her tea). In fact we ended up coming here for her engagement party. As I have suggested, this place is for those who love tea, and I have to say that their range is huge. Mind you it doesn't take me all that long to chose my tea because, well, I generally like traditional tea with some flavour as opposed to herbal infusions. It is also a cafe, and their bacon wrap wasn't bad at all. Mind you, I came here for lunch and decided to see if their coffee actually matched their tea, and I have to agree that it does.

The Scenario : It's Christmas Eve and the shops have been open for 36 hours. I realise I need a few…read morelast minute grocery supplies and the closest supermarket is at Marion Westfield. The State of Mind : I really don't want to fight through the last minute crowds but at least I'll be able to grab a coffee to get rid of the remaining effects of last night's champagne. Actually it's a little more desperate than that. I need coffee and I don't care what the coffee is like. Just give me a café, a seat and someone who will make me a coffee and I'm there. The Outcome : Jackpot! I stumble upon Ang's Café at Marion Westfield and have unknowingly discovered a gem of a coffee shop that I'm sure to visit again. Having made purchases at the Seafood shop on one side of Ang's and the Health Food Shop on the other, I just couldn't be bothered walking to any of my normal haunts so in I went only to discover this place was a WINNER. After I opened my eyes and looked properly at Ang's I realised they actually sell coffee beans and blends and specialise in coffee and tea. They also have a selection of food on offer but I have to admit I didn't try anything in that department. Everything looked fresh and tasty though. What I can vouch for is that this place knows their beans and to my neverending surprise I enjoyed a great cup of coffee.

Ang's proffers gourmet grounds of coffee from the western end of Marion Shopping Centre. Within the…read moreMarion shopping centre there are two types of cafe, chain cafes and boutique, and Ang's is the latter. Set appropriately amongst the fresh produce stores, if you want quality coffee, this is the place to head to whether you're after sharing a cuppa with a mate in store, or taking home bags of freshly ground beans. Bags of coffee and coffee related paraphernalia are abundant and inexpensive, but if none of that is your bag, there is also tea on offer. Furniture is always kept clean by the vigilant and friendly staff, and seats inside the pleasant smelling store are comfortable. There are also tables outside the front of the store, in a prime position to sneakily people watch as they pick up their cheeses, fruit, baked goods, and meat from nearby stores.

First thing's first, there wasn't a lot of imagination that went into the naming of this place…read more That much is obvious. This store used to be around the corner from Wok in a Box on the far end of the complex. Recently it's moved further in to the main mall area. The stock is the same which is a welcome relief. I have a martial arts instructor who is always preaching the benefits of using coconut oil when cooking. In fact, he won't eat at a restaurant if they don't cook the food with the coconut oil that he provides. Coconut oil is what I stock up on here. I used to have a hard time finding it before I discovered this place. As well as that there are Indian potato chips, Indian meal ideas and drinks, and DVDs. Yes there is a long shelf jam packed with Bollywood DVDs. I've never sat down and watched one myself, but if that sort of thing is your bag then you might want to check this place out. In fact, check it out anyway. Why? Because I say so!

15/12/2011 Photos First to Review I carried a green…read morerecycling bag for two boxes of tissues. No really. I did. (My brother spent less than $10.) There isn't that much in Woolworths that we need, but it still makes us happy to pay a quick visit every once in a while after work. Everything you need in a grocery store is here. I just wish it was as big as the Wal-Mart I saw in Texas. Depending on what you need, you can spend anywhere from $10 to $120 as you exit the store. By the way, I scored a brand new computer desk lamp for only $19.95!! Where else can you buy such a thing for a low price? That's half the price of the lamps that rip you off at other places! I needed one desperately for my long hours of yelping in front of the computer because the old lamp that served me for 15+ years finally ran out of globe life. If you hunt properly, you can actually find some great grabs for less than $5! They're always doing low-price promotions here! I love it! I don't usually carry much cash, but that's okay! There are plenty of those swiping machines for you to use now, when you've collected all your items. Yay! God bless the staff in green for helping everyone out when they're stuck on the swiping machines, as we walk out. God bless this new invention for supermarkets! I wonder if any other non-grocery stores will take this concept on? So I walked out with new boxes of tissues for my hayfever in less than 5 minutes. In and out. If only I had more cash for groceries, I'd actually love this store because they are the number one most profitable supermarket business in Adelaide, and none of their competitors come close to the amount of profits "Woolies" make every year. And I must commend the staff in their green uniform, thank you for the friendly chat when I needed to decide which orange juice to buy, and the difference between the Aussie juices and the imported juices. However, this depends where you are exactly. If you're shopping on the upper level (there are only two levels), then you have a very slim chance of being helped in the aisles (no-one's there!), and that's not right because that's where customers need the most help = finding things! Nevertheless, I ALWAYS find myself drifting back and forth inside here everytime I'm in Rundle Mall. I confess, I'm a certified Woolworths regular.

Super cheap prices on everything you'd hope would be here. We got a massive jar of fried shallots (a must-have garnish for all Asian - and other - cooking), as well as fried garlic and dried mushrooms in large quantities. Their frozen dumplings are great prices and very tasty. They have a large range of frozen food which we made the most of. Though, stay away from the frozen ladyfinger bananas - they were awful. What little flavour they had was not good. There's a huge range of bulk packages of rice and noodles - we get our rice here for great prices. For flavour, there are rows upon rows of different sauces, toppings and recipe bases. Add to this a huge range of crockery and cooking equipment and you have all the ingredients for amazing homemade Asian feasts.

Ok, I know it seems rather silly to be writing about a giant supermarket that nobody will miss if…read morethey ever enter chinatown, but this one holds special significance to me and used to me a nightly haunt for me whenever I was up late at uni and needed a place to walk around or just restock on red bull and chips in the middle of the night. The only supermarket in town that opens again after midnight, it was like a beacon of hope for all those international students who had come to Adelaide not realizing that most places closed at 5pm and there was literally nowhere to go at night in order to shop. It has gotten better since back in those days, with shops opening up to 7pm or 7:30pm I think along Rundle Street, but back then, you'd go to Coles in chinatown after 12 and you'd see mostly asian people walking through the aisles, not necessarily to buy anything, but just to walk amongst potentially purchasable goods. I'm not one to judge, as I used to be one of them and really do appreciate Coles giving me a place I could go to in the middle of the night. Since moving away from the city, I have found an IGA near my place that never closes. Still, first's will always be firsts, and the chinatown Coles will always hold a special place in my heart that no other supermarket can replace.

The Coles on Grote St is so handy for me, because after I do my shopping around the markets, I can…read morealso stop by and pick up some supermarket brands in one trip, like soap, vegemite, you know. You can enter either from Grote St or from the inside markets, to save you walking all the way around. Apart from the fact that I see everyone here, from old friends to old teachers, what makes this Coles great is that it sells things like imported gelatine, Korean wafers, and other international brands. Being on the brink of Chinatown probably explains why it stocks these amazing creations. Additionally, the staff are always friendly and cheerful, and ready to help. My shopping experiences have been nothing but pleasant here. Oh, and did I mention that they're open from midnight, Mondays to Saturdays? How convenient for all you nocturnal folk!
