Ajisen Ramen
Because a hot bowl of spicy ramen is mandatory after sitting for a three hour paper!
Chasyu Ramen $11- Ramen served with extra chasyu,egg and vegetables
Volcano Ramen $11- Ramen served with chasyu, egg and vegetables in spicy sauce
Chargrilled Beef Ramen with added Volcano Sauce $12.50 + $1.50- Ramen served with chargrilled beef, egg and vegetables
One last look at my favourite combination- amazingly done chargrilled beef and oh so delish volcano sauce :D :D :D
Is it just me or does Ajisen Ramen actually taste better in Adelaide than in Singapore? Somehow the soup is a lot tastier and the availability of volcano sauce just makes it so amazing (especially when you slurp the soup up on a cold day!) :D

Briccone
It’s been consecutive posts of breakfasts- the day usually starts with mass, breakfast, home to study then mum cooks lunch and dinner hence the overload of breakfast posts!
Pancakes drizzled with Maple Syrup
Poached Eggs with Roasted Pumpkin, Fetta and Rocket served with Toast
Briccone is located on the Pulteney end of Rundle Mall with the King William side being Buskers Restaurant. Comparing both, Buskers does have slightly more unique dishes but service and efficiency wise, Briccone definitely wins hands down. Looking forward to trying their lunch one day. I heard they serve a mean Wagyu Beef burger!

Buskers Restaurant
Post OSCEs lunch at 3pm brought the very much starving 4 of us to Buskers!
Salmon Scramble with Spinach and Pita Bread- $13.50
Eggs Benedict $14
Seafood and Chorizo Risotto $19
Pasta Of The Day- Linguine with Chilli, Olives and Anchovies $15
Chocolate Cake $4.50- Definite favourite with the table, not too sweet and just right.
Service was relatively slow but we all thought that presentation of the food was very pretty. Taste wise..wasnt too bad but was not that fantastic either. However, for a restaurant located right smack in the middle of Rundle Mall with a tiny kitchen (the other side of the mall is Briccone), Buskers did a relatively good job at serving up a decent lunch for the starving tummies we all had. Loved the fact that you can ‘people-watch’ whilst eating at the restaurant as well!

Cherry Blossom Sushi
To be honest we werent planning to eat here at all..after having an awesome nap (supposed to have been studying), we decided to head out for lunch to Nanyang Cafe for good old warm Chinese food because the wind was mad chilly. But! The entire arcade wasnt open since it was a Sunday..Cherry Blossom then became the next alternative because it was the nearest to uni and I was practically starving already so naturally I didnt want to walk any further…
So..that’s how we ended up here. I have walked past this shop millions of times but just never went in..I think the only Japanese places I trust in Adelaide is Wasai and maybe Sushi Train, the rest seem a little dodgy. Hee. Anyhow there wasnt a lot of sushi left on display so we both settled for their bento sets.
Salmon Teriyaki $10.50
Crumbed Fish $8.50
Maybe I was really hungry but my salmon tasted really really good. Crisp and well fried. The teriyaki sauce was a nice mix as well. I didnt like the veggies though because it had cucumbers mixed with it so it went to the friend’s plate instead. I tried the crumbed fish and it was good too! Nicely crumbed with the bread crumbs, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Even the seaweed as the side dish was yummy. My only complain is that the rice did not taste like Japanese rice :( Not acceptable for a Japanese place!! Anyhow overall experience turned out a lot better than expected. It was off to uni for another attempt to study after being well fed :D

Yu Feng Tai Shanghai Buns
Love days where we get to be at the RAH instead of having to travel all the way to LMH. Well 2 Tuesdays ago was one such lucky day! Because that means a) I get to sleep in till 7.45am instead of having to catch the 7am bus b) I get to go to Rundle Mall for lunch instead of being stuck in the hospital cafeteria! :D
So anyway Yu Feng Tai Shanghai Buns is one of the new cafes that recently opened in Renaissance Arcade, where Penang Hawker and Nanyang Cafe are also situated..
And…hello! I think I may have just stumbled upon Adelaide’s best XLB! :) Okay maybe not the best but definitely unique and so good!
3 things make a good XLB- skin, soup and the meat (okay, the 3rd one doesnt really matter to me) but the skin has to be soft without breaking easily when you pick it up with the chopsticks and it also has to be not dry. The soup has to be there (unlike Dumpling King where I had the driest and most non existent soup in my XLB, I was so very upset!) and warm as you bite a hole into the dumpling and slurp up the soup inside :) This one definitely fulfilled my requirements and I was very very pleasantly surprised :D
Braised Beef with Noodles soup and warm Soy Bean Milk
Meet the most amazing tasting and succulent braised beef..YUMS! :D:D This photo does no justice to the yumminess of the dish.
I had a very satisfying meal thank you very much! Had to walk a little for digestion after that…and that little walk brought me to The Crepe’s Story. LOL! How convenient :) Because dessert is a definite must for an end to a meal :D
