Once every couple of months, my wife and i visit this cafe down at Moonta street. I'm not too sure…read moreif this is a Malaysian restaurant or not, but based on what but you get on the menu, the Chicken rice, Fried Kway tiao, Hor fun, Mee goreng etc. Yup, common Malaysian/Singaporean food. My guess shouldn't be far off lah. Here, you have to order your food at the counter first before you will be issued with a table number. Most tables are small round table for 4. A server will come and confirm your order again before they prepare your food. Oh yeah, before you go to your seats, get your utensils and condiments by the side of the counter near the entrance. So far, we have tried Laksa, Hokkien noodles, Kway tiao and Hainanese Chicken rice. Okie, YMMV, but this is what I think of each so far: Laksa - a bit watery, I like my laksa soup to be more thicker, more coconut milk in it etc. Hokkien noodles- I feel it's a bit dry. I don't like it one bit. Kway tiao - We ordered this twice I remembered. The first time it's wonderful, flavor, saltiness(by the way I don't like my food to be salty) etc wonderful combination. However, the second time, was awful, half the kway tiao was found stucked together, that means, the soy sauce failed to mix properly etc, thus affecting the overall taste. Bugger. Chicken rice - They actually gives a generous amount of chicken for a $8.50 meal. Comes with a soup and rice. Overall, I'm quite fond of the place. Reasonably cheap price, short wait time etc. Will try other choices next time, haha..

I am not a fan of those serve yourself options, with masses of deep fried meat and sugar syrup sauces. I want something that is cooked fresh and with skill. Chinatown Café offers a great selection of healthy simple dishes that are really worth trying. Particularly they are famous for the Hainanese Chicken Rice. You can have either the breast or leg fillets. Also with a side of Asian Greens and clear chicken broth. I have tried a lot of versions around the Market, but they by far do it the best. The sauce is perfectly balanced with salty soy flavour without being overpowering. I would also recommend trying their Singapore Chicken Curry, which is simple, sweet and wholesome. If you are a bit of a curry wuss and a fan of milder versions, this curry is for you. It is not hot, it is all about the cumin and coriander seed flavours. Also, they make a mean Mee Goreng and Kway Teow both packed with fresh prawns, noodles, greens, fish cakes, and shredded chicken and pork. Please note this is what Mee Goreng should taste like. Don't bother with the packet versions; try this one with fresh noodles, tomato and veggies. It is so much better and has no MSG crap, it does not need it. Best part about Chinatown Café is the shear speed in the delivery of your meals and turn over of tables. They pump through the customers so do not be afraid if you see a line. You will get a seat pretty quickly and your meal to follow soon after. Don't forget to get yourself a serving of the two chilli sauces near the cutlery at the front of the store, they go great with your rice and to give your meal that extra kick!

My favourite would have to be the Malaysian stall. They do a good char keoy teow, curry laksa and hokkien mee dishes here. Don't bother getting the nasi lemak dish though as the sambal was awful. Prices range from $9-$10.50. I never bother with the Indian stall as it is way to expensive but you will find some good Indian bread and vegetarian dishes. Go for the Tom Yam at the Thai stall and sizzling beef and spring rolls at the Chinese stall. A dedicated drink stalls with coke, juices, soya bean, beer and wine would appease any diner. All in all, it's a pleasant little Asia under one roof.

Set up in a food court and school cafeteria environment, you can choose from a wide selection of South-East Asian Cuisine. Choosing from a menu is hard enough in itself. let alone trying to figure out if you'll be ordering from the Chinese, Malaysian, Indian or Thai section. If you can't decide, order a dish from them all. The venue is licensed, so grab a drink while you decide, and take a seat. All sections will promptly bring the food out to you. The prices are very cheap - I'm convinced you can't buy the materials for what they charge here. This is why I keep coming back for more, and then re-order take away to heat up later. Pro tip: If you can't find your table number, remember to look straight up (You'll find it hanging from the ceiling).

Utensils and water are self serve. Service is fast and friendly. Shout out to Thanh! I first tried cam wah with my family and had to come back a second time as soon as I got back into adelaide. I ordered the Chinese curlers and mi viet tiem. Chinese curlers/donuts: (9/10) the crispiest and freshest I've ever had Mi viet tiem:(9/10) a duck egg noodle soup with fall off the bone duck leg meat. The portion of duck this dish comes with is generous. I like to season the broth with additional soy, lemon, white pepper and chili pepper. Bonus points for accepting card and Apple Pay. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you are a duck meat lover.

I've only ever been here for coffee on a Sunday afternoon and the coffee is worth a mention but by all accounts they're better known for their Thai Food. I just wish I'd known about their reputation when I went there because I am quite partial to a good serve of Pad Thai. They have a good selection of tables inside as well as a small but really cool outside area that is dog friendly. There's just a few tables here but they face onto the street and it's a great spot to watch the world go by on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I will be going back here very soon for a Thai meal. Can't wait!

I'd love to replicate my favourites on the menu but instead I'd rather enjoy the friendly service, intimate atmosphere and presenation I know I can't replicate at home.

I was a little lack lustre about returning to Elephant Walk so soon, but with Eggless closed and a quick ring around of dessert bars at 11:40 on a Friday night it seemed they were the only choice open. After a few awkward moves to actually make it into the booths (they can be low down and a bit squishy) two out of our party of four decided on the peanut choc waffles. Ohhhhhh my. Elephant Walk gets onto my dessert bar favourites with these alone. I still wish they'd vamp up the rest of their menu, but at least now I have a favourite to keep coming back for.

A table out the back (eg. outside) was offered which took a little bit of convincing until the waiter mentioned the word 'heater'. Seated around our table under the stars, enjoying the radiant warmth of the gas heater, we certainly didn't feel like we were sitting in our 2nd option! The vegan menu was well-suited to my being lactose-free & the multitude of waffles/banana split/etc was indeed appreciated by the other three. I always love the multitude of tea options & the staff always serve everything with a smile. A great place to chill & wind down and leaving the previous dining establishment to enjoy dessert here invariably makes the night last longer!

Don't let that dissuade you though as you can not only sit out in the food court but they will bring your food to you which was an unexpected bonus for me that no other cafés at the Marion food court will do. I ordered the berry lemon cheesecake which was scrumptious. The flavours didn't over power one another and the base was the perfect amount of crisp and chewy. They do a great coffee which is neither weak or cold but just perfect on the pallet after you've been dragging yourself around Marion for hours. My partner for a ham and cheese croissant which he gallantly gave me a bite of for the purpose of this review. What can I say? I love a ham and cheese croissant and Ecco Ciocco Lata clearly do as well as it was delicious. The prices are quite good - my coffee and cake coming in under $10 and you don't have to enter the busy food court for the sale of a coffee. If you haven't been I strongly recommend going - good luck in taking any less time than my 10 minutes ogling all their cakes, muffins and slices though!

The quiches are also nice, but the one I had was still cold in the middle.

Of course I had to give it a try! I chose to celebrate my birthday here with a couple of close friends. It is very 2013 local business - no website (only a Facebook page), no phone number, no bookings and no credit cards. I inquired via Facebook about bookings and they got back to me quickly with a friendly note saying they don't take bookings but there shouldn't be any problem with the time proposed and number of people. We got there a bit early just in case and the rush hit shortly after that. Nevertheless, there was no problem with the table, not even when friends arrived bearing large gifts. The place provides a light and open and friendly setting. Coffees were very good. The guys who ran it made a great effort with service and were very generous when one breakfast came a bit later than the others by bring us one of their homemade delicious doughnuts on the house. The breakfasts were also very good. The friend who always orders French toast tried, you guessed it, the french toast. This variety was served with poached pears and persimmons and generously covered with home made lemon curd. The lemon curd was excellent! I had the poached egg in tomato on toast with minestra (this version being a mix of sauteed greens with cannellini beans. Very yummy and generous sized serve. The other two guests both had the poached eggs on toast with peperonata and pancetta. The peperonata was extremely tasty. And I couldn't go past the salted caramel brownie to take home for later. This is a business that is new and local. It has a bit of growing to do, but a lot of potential. The front of house guy is great but seems a bit stressed. The food is great. They aim to be environmentally friendly with the locally grown produce and cloth hand towels in the loos (I nice touch). See the Facebook page for photos of the daily breakfast and lunch menus.
