K-Food is like the Adelaide CBD's equivalent to 7-Eleven. I'm not too sure why 7-Eleven never…read morebranched out into Adelaide, but K-Food seems to be an appropriate response to Adelaide's 24 hour convenience needs. It seems like every few months more and more of these stores are popping up in new locations (albeit sometimes in very close proximity) - and I'm glad to see that business is thriving. What can be said about K-Food? They have everything you'd expect from a 24 hour convenience store, namely plenty of junk food, sodas, cigarettes, and personal necessities like pain-killers - a lot of things you shouldn't be having late at night! But the fact that they're there saves you from waiting until morning to get your late night fix, and that's a reality I'm pretty happy with. The thing I like particularly about this location is that the staff is always good to talk to - especially when the streets quiet down and the majority of the weekend warriors have called it a night. Not too long ago I came into K-Food late one night after playing a gig, and the store clerk and I spoke for almost 30 minutes about the Misfits and the evolution of punk music, as well as exchanging our band contacts. I've also had great conversations with a lot of the other store clerks here too, and it seems like the personnel at this shop is all-round good people. It's tough working the graveyard shift, especially with all the drunken hooligans making things even more difficult. So if you're feeling nice, go in and have a chat and make they're night a little more entertaining!

I may have suffered stink-breath (and the associated social rejection), if it wasn't for your chewy range waiting and ready to freshen my mouth in between brushes. I may have felt purposeless without your aisles to peruse in repeated circles, looking for that perfect munchie that will complete me. Of course I only visit you at 2am when these simple things seem like a matter of life and death. So for being open 24-7, I thankyou. In a nutshell - I heart my Kwik E Mart!

Ok I was dehydrated at the time on a hot summers day but I do have proof of its existence as I took a photo! Previously it was a K Food Express 24/7 supermarket and is now under new management, think they'd better do something about showing they exist online though! It was definitely handy being open as it is still a 24/7 store, as I was so thirsty and on New Years Day nothing much was open. There's an ATM inside, lots of posters decorating the front entry advertising bands, shows, etc which added a splash of colour and hipness. It's basically a mini mart where you'd only go for emergency supplies much like at a petrol station, but also great for any new visitors to the city to get supplies when staying in the nearby motels.

It's got your usual stuff like drinks, chips, mi goreng noodles, as well as the things you discover you need at the last minute like washing powder, stationery, and birthday candles. The main downside is the fact that they don't sell metro tickets, but they will change my notes into smaller coins so I can pay to do my laundry. It's a family owned business, and the owners are always friendly, and that's the real reason that I like popping in here.

There's not much I can say about this petrol station, other than it has exceptional customer…read moreservice. I don't mean the standard level of friendliness you'd expect to experience at any other store; the staff at BP Erindale has some of the nicest people I know. The range of items available in store isn't extensive, but adequately meets your basic needs. The prices are above those of nearby supermarkets, but they do have the occasional special deal (usually on canned drinks or snacks). As part of the On The Run franchise, this service station is open 24 hours a day. As such, it's a convenient place to go when there's nothing else open and you're either suffering from junk food cravings, have run out of milk or bread, or are desperately in need of toiletries and personal care items. When I'm low on petrol, regardless of where I am, I'll do my best to hold off on buying fuel before I reach Erindale. The reason I do this is because it's an absolute pleasure talking to the staff. Even in the early hours of the morning, when people are expectedly at their grumpiest, the employees here are always in high spirits. On many occasions I've had long, meaningful chats with the people behind the counter and they've shared some great stories. I'm equally happy to converse and provide some human interaction, as I can't imagine working the graveyard shift at a petrol station would be overly exciting. If you're lucky and you go while Yogesh is working, stick around and have a chat with him - he's an excellent guy and he'd be thankful for making his day a little more interesting!

Combine that with a consistently well stocked fruit and veg cabinet, fresh Kitchenhand Salads and Prepacked Gluten Free meals by Enzos this place is my go-to supermarket if I have had "one of those weekends," and haven't gotten a chance to go to Foodland. It's open late - even at the time of the evening when you're just starting to decide you might want a little bit of late night chocolate or gelati - this place will cater for you. 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. Even better is that this IGA has some of the friendliest staff around, particularly for check out chicks!

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.

The last time I visited, the shop assistant was too busy out the back to notice I was even in there for the first 5 minutes (shoplifters delight). When he did emerge he proceeded to talk on his mobile phone LOUDLY discussing his personal business for the rest of my duration in the store, yep even while he served me. In a nutshell - taking poor service to a whole new level!

The fruit and veg section is a tad hit and miss in terms of freshness and quality, but as are every other IGA. I love their range of Kitchenhand pre-made salads, Enzo and Cibo pre-made pastas and chicken dishes and the good quality antipasto products (great for entertaining). This IGA also comes with an in-house butcher and deli that serves up lunchtime chips and gravy specials, baked goods as well as fresh cuts and marinated quality red meat. It is not actually run by the IGA but helps in making this place a midweek "one stop shop." Prices are reasonable for a small convenience store and I enjoy the consistently friendly and efficient service (even when you rock up in thongs and trackies on a Sunday arvo).

The selection of noodles is good (as it is with all Asian Grocers), but where this place really stands out is the sweets/snacks and the frozen dumplings. again, not a massive selection, but some of the highest quality goods I have purchased. Often a problem with 'getting adventurous' in an Asian Supermarket, you just never know if a product is going to deliver.....pretty packaging doesn't mean great food! But I have just got gold after gold at YES. It might be that I am just really lucky (insanely good looking people like myself often are), but I think it is more a case of the owners being very selective as to what they have in stock! The Gyouza are wicked by the way!

Despite having a very small shopfront, once you get inside, the store extends quite a way back, so…read moreit's a bit like the TARDIS in that regard. The range is vast and the quality is excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a terrific selection of herbs and spices from India, Thailand, China, Korea and Japan as well as sauces, rices, teas, snacks, sweets, and more. I bought several items on this occaision, but hands down, the best buy of the day was the six-pack of pumpkin buns with red bean paste centers. Baked in the oven for 20 minutes and they were DELICIOUS. I'll be returning for those for sure! Overall, this is a great alternative to Woollies, particularly if you're looking for more variety in your herbs, spices, oils and sauces than what the big box store has. Prices are very reasonable, and the place is stocked to the brim with goods, is light, clean and well presented. You won't be disappointed.
