Happy Mart is one of my favourite Asian grocery stores in Adelaide. It stocks predominantly Korean…read moreproducts, but some Japanese and Chinese staple items (mostly for cooking) are available. In addition to groceries, there are also cooking utensils, soaps and other miscellaneous items imported from Korea. The best thing about Happy Mart is their frozen and refrigerated goods. They have a large range of thinly sliced beef, chicken and pork (and I mean paper thin!) that can't be found at your regular supermarket or butcher. These frozen meats are perfect for Bulgolgi or Japanese hot-pot meals at home, and I can say with confidence that these meats are fresh and delicious. They also have an abundance of frozen foods such as dumplings that are also suitable for vegetarian diets. And, believe it or not, they have an entire fridge dedicated solely to kimchi! As opposed to the more substantial foods, there is also a variety of Korean cup noodles, snack foods and sweets, as well as Korean soft drinks, teas and even rice wines. Best of all, it's dirt cheap! The staff here is always friendly, and sometimes will even throw in some free goodies with your purchase. Another great reason to shop at Happy Mart!

Standom Smallgoods, and in the Case the Standom Butcher at Gepps Cross have been a meat lovers institution for many a year. Walking into the store you see glorious meat products that will give you atrocious heart burn and the most 'colourful' wind you have ever experienced! I have only rated Standom 4 out of a possible 5 stars for the simple reason that there are better options around for similar products, but there are only a few locations where you can find them all in one place! I am a personal fan of their line of Wursts that go amazingly with a good wholegrain mustard (one of the few meats that are not better with Rosella Tomoato Sauce!), but also the line of cured pork and beef is something to marvel! They don't have the really candy like ham that you will find imported from Spain or Italy (Serano or Parma), but there are some great options for platters or sangers! If you are feeling game check out their gourmet presswurst, it's an odd texture, but pretty awesome!

Standom Smallgoods at Gepps Cross sells a huge range of unbelievably good smallgoods, mostly German…read more- like many of the staff - but with meats and delicacies from farther afield as well. What more can you say? A lot, although you'd be repeating the same general line as above. So here goes. A lot of the wursts, sausages etc are pork based. Standom must use only the tastiest little piggies, because the flavours, whether smoked or spiced up with herbs, are mouthwatering. This shop could convert a vegan, once you got them screaming through the door. As well as the range of exotic smoked sausages, including double smoked ones, there are plenty of other home-made lines as well as European pre-packed stuff. A few of these lovely meaty products stand out for flavour and value, in my opinion. The Bockwurst sausages are fat little babies with a delicious smoky flavour. They're great cut in half and grilled, or boiled and put in a hotdog, if you can get your mouth around one. The smoked Viennas come in peasant and deluxe (ie pure pork) form. Both are excellent, but you save a few cents per kg with the cheaper ones. The Weisswurst (white sausage) has bits of greenish spice in it. Very tasty. If you are there before they're all gone, the 'king size' sausage will make you the hit of any barbecue. They are huge and juicy when cooked, and delicious. The fritz is as good as you can buy anywhere. It's a bit smoky and has that slight rubbery spring which any fritz connoisseur will tell you is the sign of a quality fritz. Finally, bits of most of the meats on sale turn up as offcuts in cheaply-priced bags in the open fridge. These offcuts often include whole sausages etc and are not to be sneezed at, whether for pizza toppings, kids' lunches or nibbling at straight from the bag on the way home from Standom's House of Smoky Temptations. I've left a lot of good things out. My advice into head out to Gepps Cross and call in. Look for a big wooden (two dimensional) bull on the side of the road. You'll be so glad you did. Even if you're a vego, the experience will be character-forming for you.

Shop 60 in the Central Market is without question my favourite food stall by a very big margin…read more Barossa Fine foods are bloody fine indeed! Beautiful cured and salted meats, plus some insanly high quality cuts of wagu and some Duck in there for good measure. So many choices, what to do?! Simple, get the ham! Not just any ham of course, the Serano Ham and Parma Ham are the only choices you need to consider. MEAT CANDY! They also have some great terrines and the closest thing you will find in Adelaide to Head Cheese? Need to ask what it is......then you don't get to know!

I have really enjoyed cooking up a rack of lamb from barossa fine foods and their diced lamb makes for a fantastic stew or curry. In addition to the entirely accessible, Barossa stocks some gourmet numbers which are perhaps a bit more risque, such as black pudding/blood saussage, emu posciutto and biltong (south african style dried beef). Try the kangaroo salami, it is really good and because kangaroos don't fart methane, it is good for the planet too.

We really do have some good meat in Adelaide! There are a number of great quality Butchers around,…read moreand in most cases, the only major difference is the price. North Park Quality Meat is one of those good Butchers, and their prices aren't too shabby. Needless to say you will find all of the normal meaty goodness that you will find in most butchers, but they also have some prime cuts of high quality Angus and even some Wagu if you are lucky. There is also a very good selection of cured meats and silverside cuts that would suit thsoe with an older palet. I am a particular fan of their honey/soy marrinated chicken wings which have a very nice sticky consistency with an abundance of marinade. Stick them in the oven on 200-220 until they have just a bit of char and they go down an absoulte treat!

Sounds like a bunch of fancy names that don't mean much... The meat you used to buy back then and the meat you buy now is the same, with the exception of a few name changes. It's of the same high quality, the same low prices and we really stock up when we go here. My personal favourite item to buy is the burger. You put this bad boy in the frying pan and when you remove it, it's exactly the same size. There's no shrinkage. George Costanza would be proud. What more can I say? Every time we go shopping we stock up here for our meat, then the fruit and veg store, then Coles for whatever else we may need.

I'm a big fan of their falafels which they get from Abdul's Kitchen but sometimes these are not as fresh as I would like.

I preferred to do most of my shopping at the Central Markets, as it was vastly cheaper, but they aren't open every day. Which brings me to the big winning point of IGAs, including this one. Opening hours. Despite their slightly higher prices, they manage to compete by being open later at night on weekdays and weekends. Each IGA is slightly different, and this one is quite vastly different to the IGA at the other end of Hutt St. This one is on the up-market side, stocking a wide range of gourmet products. The City East deli stocks a range of cakes, pastas, salads, quiches and antipasto. In the fridges you can pick up pre-made meals from a range of local producers. I used to keep my eye on the discount fridge, where deli products went to die. The fruit and veg section isn't awful, but pricier than most. There is a rudimentary few aisles of basic home needs like toilet paper and light bulbs. Next to the regular tinned veg and pasta section is a little stand with fancier Italian products - nice sauces and egg pastas. In the icecream freezer you'll find the Maggie Beer range. Not a bad supermarket all round, and I'm sure it hits the target market of young professionals or wealthier types living in the city.
