I went to Saldechin last year while moseying around Adelaide, waiting for an interview to start. It’s located in one of those old bank buildings. I really like the atmosphere inside. Sort of serene, with bucketloads of grandeur. Good fusion of tradition and modern style.
It sells traditional Chinese furniture (reproduction, not antiques, if the price and finish is any indication), Chinese teas and serves as a teahouse/cafe too. The dimsum (small selection) is apparently home made. After a bad run of baos and dumplings with mysterious gristle (and the whole China poison food and cardboard char siu baos news came out at the time), their char siu bao was refreshingly…homemade-tasting, I guess. It tasted good and not artificial.
On the weekends, the place turns into a club sort of place I think. It would be an alright place to hangout for the 30-something officeworker. (haha, I’m still too young for that……………………………… >_>)
Saldechin is located at 21 King William St, Adelaide.
