Yang Tse River China Restaurant

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Yang Tse River China Restaurant

Back dated food post again! Went to Yang Tse River China Restaurant back in December 2012 and another time on Chap Goh Mei 2013. It’s also known as Yangsi China Restaurant (that’s what printed on the menu).


Left: They serve Shanghainese cuisine. It’s one of the good Chinese restaurant in Adelaide located at 447 B/C Payneham Road.
Right: It’s been along time ago dining there so I don’t remember this dish’s name. It’s a type of tofu dish with spinach.


Left: Forgot whta’s this. It’s quite spicy.
Right: Roast duck with sauce.


Left: Fried green bean, I didn’t like it at all. It’s as if I’m eating old vegetables, not fresh at all or it’s meant to be like that? *SHRUG*
Right: Braised pork belly (Dong Po Rou) is one of its famous dishes.


Left: Crispy garlic ribs, my favourite! I don’t like garlic but this dish sure is different.
Right: Claypot tofu with mixed vegetables I think…


Left: A type of prawn dish, nothing to rave. I personally don’t like it.
Right: Claypot eggplant. Not so bad.

Overall, this place served decent Shanghainese food. It’s highly recommended by many people. Price wise, it’s quite reasonable too.

Star House Chinese Restaurant

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Star House Chinese Restaurant

How back dated I am?!!? This happened back in September 2012 when everything was still great and hopeful. Anyway, went for dinner with my friends. My first time dining at Star House Chinese Restaurant located at 31 Gouger St, Adelaide.

Never thought of going there. Heard a lot of negative feedbacks. Oh well… The place failed to appeal to me because it looked very expensive! Let’s just say, it’s expensive in comparison with the portion. It’s been a long time, so I don’t quite remember what we had ;p


Left: E-shan eggplant in hot pot ($13.80).
Right: Deep fried duck with plum sauce ($15.80).


Left: Sweet and sour pork ($12.80).
Right: This is a type of chicken dish but not sure what’s the name of it. Too long ago! Don’t remember at all.

We ordered another fish dish but didn’t take photo of it.

Overall, I only enjoyed the company. It was rather pricey. Then again, I wasn’t worry about the money that time but normally I would have suggested another place than this place.

Robe (26/1/2013-28/1/2013) – Part 4

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Robe (26/1/2013-28/1/2013) – Part 4

The final part of trip to Robe. I still have so many pending posts from Australia! -.-”


After we check-out, we went to Mahalia Coffee for coffee.


Coffee brewed in Robe. Cosy little shop. Coffee price started from AUD3.50, it’s standard price of small cup of coffee in Australia.


My friends ordered some cakes. I bit too sweet for my liking but had it with the cream, it balanced out the sweetness.


Then we drove back and thought of having late lunch at Murray Bridge.


After that we headed to Hahndorf for early dinner but at the end changed our mind and headed straight down to the city.

That’s the end of the long weekend trip to Robe.

After the market, we went to have a walk at the beach.


Then, we headed to get our pizza lunch at Vicstreet Pizzeria.


Oh dear… I don’t remember what were they. Basically their pizza range from AUD11-25 with 3 different sizes to choose from.


Not sure about the pasta too ;p Didn’t pay attention to their order, they range from AUD18-21. Overall, it was satisfying.


After that, we went for dessert at The Ice Cream Shop.


Very nice place! Love the interior! No photo for it because I couldn’t get any proper shoot for it because there’s too many things and couldn’t really fit into camera viewfinder.


Left: I had Baileys ice cream (AUD5).
Right: Donuts.


After dessert, we splited into to groups, male and female.



The guys went fishing while we went for a picnic with our moscato, cheese, crackers, and junk food under the shade at the beach.


Left: Our group photos before heading home for BBQ.
Right: Our BBQ! Turned out well! Surprised with the outcome. With the table setting and the food. Really not the typical BBQ session, more like fine dining hahaha…

After dinner, we watched the final of The Australian Open. My first and last time watching it.

Final post will come soon.

We, the girls decided to have a relaxing afternoon having tea at the backyard while the other 4 playing mahjong. I got no clue at all on how to play LOL. I just watched.


We went to dinner at the Malaysia restaurant in Robe, Don’s Kitchen. The highlight was the lobster with ee mee.


Left: Tom yum soup.
Right: Mixed vegetanles.


Left: Don’t remember what’s this.
Right: Curry or is it rendang.


Left: Salt and pepper squid.
Right: Pork rib.

In fact I don’t quite remember the actual name of the food anymore but the lobster with ee mee is great! The total came to AUD300+ if I’m not mistaken.


The next day, the guys made breakfast, french toast and sausages. They’re such great cook!


Then we started discovering Robe.


The information centre itself acted as a library, mini museum, souvenir shops, and bicycle rental.



Happened that there’s a market going on. Lots to see and taste. My friends bought a lot of cherries.

More posts to come, stay tuned…
