Just because I haven’t gotten over the novelty of Google Street View yet, I present you with my food recommendations should you find yourself in this fair city/township.
It’s really a pity Rundle Mall is totally closed off to traffic

The Central Market Precint
This is one of the main restaurant strips in Adelaide. Not surprisingly, my favourites are clustered around here.
My favourite Japanese restaurant, Wasai:

This doesn’t look like much because they only open for dinner, but it’s the best and most authentic Korean BBQ place in town. ?Hwan-Ro:

Cafe Kowloon. Jolly decent place for yum cha.

There’s a big honkin’ tree in front of it, but this is East Taste. The salted egg yolk deepfried whitebait is deeeeeeeelishus.

Gosh the Gouger Street lot is blurry. Anyway here’s BBQ City. It gets my cheap eats award. Typical Hongkie Canto fare. My favourite is the chicken and salted fish fried rice. If I’m in a huge hurry I walk down there from work and grab a takeaway c&sffr (bringing along my own takeaway container of course). The I eat it over the course of 2 meals, much to the chagrin of the cleaners who think it stinks

Noodle House and A Taste of Spice. Noodle House is another cheap eats awardee. It specialises in Northern/Shanghai/Szechuan style type Chinese though. The dumplings are dirt cheap. A Taste of Spice has Malaysian/Singaporean cuisine. It’s pretty authentic and the prices aren’t bad, especially for lunch. The last time I was there though I got a glass piece in my food (the sort that shatters into non-sharp chunks of glass, so no injuries there) and the young waiter didn’t even apologise! The boss man is not bad though so I’m sure he would have done the right thing if he was there. I wouldn’t have minded going back because it is that tasty but Ray refuses all the time I suggest it. And I’m the one that got the glass piece, not him! >_>

Cibo’s:

Apparently it’s an Adelaide institution. The coffees are great (so they tell me). I think the gelatis here are the best ever (tip: almond, pistachio and the hazelnut and chocolate flavoured-one [baci, I think]). The Italian hot chocolate isn’t bad too. Basically it’s like pure liquid chocolate. It comes in an almost espresso-size cup. I can’t comfortably finish one serve.

Bazu is a newer entrant to the market. It opened early this year. It specialises in Szechuan cuisine, and hotpot. It’s cheap but can be very busy. Don’t expect the service to be great. The manager dude looks like a slave driver.
One of the entrances to Central Market, where I do my weekly grocery shopping. This particular section of the facade has been there since 1900 (the Market first opened in 1869).

Big Table (shop 39-40) has awesome sandwiches and in winter, soups. My favourite is the chicken caesar salad baguette, and for brekkie the green eggs and ham (actually scrambled eggs with italian parsley and prosciutto, on buttered thick cut brown bread). I generally buy my fresh veg, especially tomatoes, from Ripe (shop 61), mushrooms from The Mushroom Man’s Mushroom Shop (shop 68) and cheese from Say Cheese (shop 46). I love working next to the markets <3 <3
Everything Else
It doesn’t look like anything here, but it’s now an Ajisen Ramen (opened in the last week or so?). Yes, Adelaide has Ajisen Ramen!

I went there last night and had the paiku ramen. Mmmm…tastes the same as HK (or at least my memory of it from years ago ;;>_>)
Technically this isn’t really a recommendation but I love it so here goes:-

Nando’s has got to be my favourite fast food place >_<
<3 Peri peri sauce
East Terrace Continental (ETC) is one of the awesomest breakfast places around. It doesn't beat a Big Table brekkie in terms of taste, but it has awesome ambience. Having Saturday/Sunday brekkie there feels really...inner city urban yuppie. >_>. However!! One has to fight hard for a table and it’s normally packed. So either go really early, or late, or book. Recommendation: Chill Bar. Turkish style brekkie, with soft boiled egg in warmed garlic yoghurt. Served with pan-fried mushrooms, and toast sticks that you dip into the yoghurt/egg. You sort of mush the egg so the yolk blends in with the yoghurt. It’s the first time I’ve had that combination, and to be honest I thought it sounded weird at first, but it works, it works.

Rather blurry, but here’s the Yiros House:

The first time I ever had a falaffel was here. The guy gave me free garlic sauce since it was my first time 
I reckon it’s the best falaffel/yiros place in Adelaide (not counting fancy restaurants).
Speaking of fancy restaurants, here’s Alphutte:

I haven’t been here, but it’s meant to be exactly the same as Lenzerheide which is out of the city. They were owned by husband and wife but after they divorced each got one restaurant each. It specialises in swiss cuisine. Tip: potato and leek soup.
P.S. The Adelaide bux has closed down! -shakes fist at global recession personally affecting me-
Where shall I get my Starbucks green tea latte now?!
