This review is for Fancy Fillings, Noarlunga Centre SA

verified email - 10 Oct 2010

The size of the open sandwiches is crazy!! The fillings are phenomenon!! It is as the store is called, 'Fancy Fillings'. And it looks so healthy!! The wraps are about $5. The focaccias are around $8-$10. Fillings include avocado and sundried tomatoes, different cheeses, different chicken seasonings. It's just so delicious! They should open up at more locations!!

Approximate cost: $5-$10

This review is for Temt Colonnades, Noarlunga Centre SA

I find nice surprises when I go into this store. Their prices are very affordable and their sales are amazing. There are some markdowns for items that are missing a button, or have a bit of make-up on it, and adding a button or running it through a wash really isn't that hard. You see the basic styles, as well as something a little bit extra in Temt. I found a beautiful maxi dress for my daughter for $40, when Potmans would have something like that for twice the price.

Approximate cost: $9.95 upwards

The peri-peri chicken, and the seasoning on their hot chips is delicious! The service is okay, but once I was charged more than the menu price for a bottle of peri-peri sauce. I didn't notice until I was home of course. Perhaps it was an old menu, but it was still annoying. The prices are a bit higher than expected, but for something different, instead of the usual take-away, order some peri-peri chicken, but buy the soft drinks from the supermarket.

Approximate cost: $16

I love the Bondi Burgers!! The service is fast and friendly. The food is delicious! Love their seasoning on their chips, too!! They are more expensive than other burger places like McDonalds, but I think it's worth it. It's more of a treat then.

The sushi rolls are very fat. The terriyaki chicken is my favourite. I also have to ask for an extra soy fish. I'd suggest taking away, as I felt like I was imposing on them by eating there. Also the place can get a bit stuffy in warmer weather.

This review is for Noodle Box, Glenelg, Glenelg SA

verified email - 10 Oct 2010

Located close to Wok In A box and yet both businesses are still running and popular. Noodle Box have similar dishes to Wok In a Box, but they don't taste the same. Noodle Box dishes are saucier. The peanut satay is very nice. They also offer delivery. Noodle Box also offers frequent buyers specials with a free box after 10 boxed ordered. Very popular, always someone eating in or ordering take away.

When I don't feel like cooking, this is a great take-away dinner. The pud-thai is a favourite. The spring rolls are a lovely accompaniment, or prawn crackers. I recommend trying their uniquely flavoured ice-creams, which are in perfectly sized containers for some after dinner, and some the next day. You can make up your own meals too - selecting the meat, the noodle, the vegetables and the sauce. The menu has changed a little, but I still order my daughter's favourite from the previous menu, 'skinny vegetarian noodles with mild fresh chilli', and they know what I'm talking about. The boxes are deceiving - they fit soooo much into those little boxes!! One box is almost like two meals if you put them in bowls at home! Great place!

This review is for Korean BBQ, Glenelg SA

First thing - you must book!! It's very popular!! Secondly - it's like a secret!! Located in the back of the Spices restaurant, you actually walk through Spices to a separate back room - I love the look of the people dining in Spices - "Where are they going?. What is back there? What am I missing out on" look. You should order a banquet, because it just makes sense being so affordable and sampling a range of foods and dessert and coffee. You cook your own meals at the table with a grill in-built into the table. The idea is rolling up the meat with sprouts, etc in lettuce leaves, but we just ate that separately like a salad. The chilli chicken is amazing! Also try the green tea ice cream - it's not on the menu, but because they share the building with Spices and Yakumi, they just get it from them and bring it to you. Very special. I felt very welcomed and important. Returning soon....I must book....

Approximate cost: $21

This review is for Tai Yang Dao, Glenelg SA

The restaurant isn't much to look at, but the food is quite good. In my opinion, considerably better than Yum Cha, but not as good as Lims Restaurant. The service is very good. The restaurant is conveniently located near the tram stop. Next time I would go with more people and suggest a banquet - which is much better value!

Approximate cost: $15
