This happened early in August, before we girls had our girls night. We went to Chinatown for dinner. They suggested to go to Ba Guo Bu Yi (located at 98 Gouger St). I got no clue what’s that, I just followed them ;p

It’s a restaurant. Looked like need to pay a lot for it. *GULP* My first Szechuan cuisine in Adelaide.

Left: The pickle, spicy, salty, and sweet. It’s there on the table.

Right: Boiled Pork Slices with Garlic Paste (AUD14.80), it’s spicy but not that spicy for me. Then again those who can’t stand spiciness, then it’s another story.

Left: Dried Beancurd Dice with Spicy Sauce (AUD5.80), it’s even spicier but I love it! It’s quite oily though, due to the chili oil, still I just couldn’t stop eating them!

Right: Sauteed Shreeded Pork with Spricy Garlic Sauce (AUD14.80), this wasn’t spicy at all, strange… Or is it because the previous dishes were all spicy enough and couldn’t taste any spiciness in this? I tasted it as sweet and salty. No hint of spicy.

Overall, the food was good. Environment not bad. No complain. The bill of the night including white rice and a bottle of drink, it was AUD42+ for 3 girls. We almost cleared the plates ;p I wanted to dig more into the beancurd dish but they took it away hehehe…

Had Vietnamese food again! Went there for a very late lunch after church.

Pho Ba Ria 2 is located on Hanson Road. Many said that you must try the smoothie especially durian smoothie (AUD3.50)! I don’t think you can find durian smoothie in Malaysia but you can find them in Australia in Vietnamese eateries. It’s real durian! I didn’t dare to try because it can smell unpleasant to people after that especially if you’re not in Asia hahaha… Reminded me someone had durian in the computer pool in uni before -.-” Stunk the whole place!

Sugar cane prawn rolls (AUD13), we ordered the unwrapped rolls so that we could wrap it ourselves. What an experience. You need to dip the sheet into hot water to soften it, then place the ingredients on the sheet and roll! Not easy. Don’t forget to drizzle it with the chili sauce.

The sugar can prawn is quite nice. No more taste for the sugar cane because the flavour is already infused into the prawn. Very tasty dish. I like it.

Broken Rice Combination (small, AUD9.50) with peanut sauce. In fact, we had the peanut sauce with the rolls, it was nice too. YUMMY! Everything was nice, the meat you see here is pork. If not mistaken, you have to mix the peanut sauce with the rice but we didn’t. It’s still good.

Left: Fresh and cooked beef (small, AUD9).

Right: This should be Laksa Spicy Thai Noodle Soup (small, AUD9). Hmm… I don’t understand why my friend ordered Thai noodle here! *LOL*

There you go… My second Vietnamese food experience. I’m getting a hang of Vietnamese food! Oh dear… Gonna miss it when I’m home for sure.

Two weeks ago, after CIBO, we went to Prospect for Xin Jiang cuisine. My very first time having this type of cuisine.

It’s halal! I’m sure some will be delighted. It’s located outside the city though, at Prospect, but I’m not sure of the exact address only know that there’s a petrol station(don’t remember the name also ;p) with Woolworths at the opposite of it. Didn’t expect such small shop to have very good business. Even need to make reservation. We didn’t, so we had to wait for I think half hour for a table.

Here’s what we ordered:

Left: Uyghur Kabab (AUD2 each), minimum order 3 skewers. Nice! I love it!

Right: Goshnan (AUD11), not really a fan of this dish but it’s not bad too. It’s Uyghur style pastry with lamb, onion, and spices.

Left: Dapanji (AUD26), huge portion! You can share this with more than 4 people! Just order this should be enough to make you full if all of you are small to medium eaters. I love the noodle! Spicy chicken, potato stir-fried with special sauce serve with handmade noodle. Mind you, the more you eat, the more spicy it gets. We requested it not to be spicy but at the end it’s still spicy. To those who can’t stand even a bit of spiciness, you might want to skip this. Suddenly I want to eat this again!

Right: This is not spicy but I don’t remember the name -.-” Silly me, forgot to take photo of the menu for this one. It’s a type of lamb dish. HUGE portion too! Lots of lamb fat. Not spicy at all. Looks spicy but it’s not. It’s served with a type of roti canai like bread. Did a search online and apparently some bloggers also forgot to take note of this dish’s name ;p

Overall total for 5 people with quite a number of canned and bottled drinks, the bill came up to about AUD94 or 95, don’t quite remember.

CIBO Espresso is no stranger to anyone in Adelaide. However, I only knew about it when I attended Marketing Management class when my coursemates mentioned about it. It’s everywhere and with red striking colour yet I never noticed hahaha… I guess I’m not a coffee person so I didn’t really bother.

Had the opportunity to visit the outlet at Rundle Street, if I’m not mistaken, this is the very first outlet in Adelaide. Not only coffee or tea. They also have gelato.

Left: Very advance system too. Well… I guess it’s not new, just that it’s my first time seeing such paging system. It will buzz when your order is ready.

Right: Mini Affogato (AUD4), vanilla gelato doused with espresso.

Left: If not mistaken, this should be Iced Chocolate (AUD3.80).

Right: Hot chocolate (AUD3.40). The hot chocolate was really sweet and thick. Luckily I ordered the smallest cup. Was expecting to see marshmallow with it but there’s none.

Left: There’s wide range of food to choose from also.

Right: The second floor. Great area to hang out with friends, especially the big table with high chairs. Those sofas aren’t really that great though, too low.
