Eat, Pray, Love

The footsteps of spring are here and it has brought us a lot of warmth and sunshine. What could be a better idea than to visit Glenelg at this time to take a dip or bask in the sun? We have surely missed the beach so much owing to the long and cold winter. Visiting Glenelg, you can be treated to many food and restaurants. One of them is the Feed Burger Bar at Jetty Road.

I was invited by Adelaide Food Central and Feed Jetty Road for their media lunch. All the food and drinks were complimentary.

The Feed is popular with their burgers. There are 16 options of burger to choose from. It surely was a hard decision to make because every burger looked so delicious! I ordered the Tandoori Chicken Burger in the end. The home crumbed chicken breast was too great to be contained by the soft and buttery brioche bun. It was crispy and flavoursome. Aside from the usual burger accompaniments such as cheese and housemade coleslaw, the Tandoori spiced mayo did differentiate the Feed from other burger bars. The mayo was well balanced with spices and the servings was generous.

One of the food bloggers ordered the eggplant burger which consisted of beer-battered eggplant, grilled haloumi cheese, roast pepper, lettuce, pesto, nap sauce and mayo. Definitely a great choice for vegan or vegetarian diners.

In addition, another food blogger ordered the scotch fillet steak burger with blue cheese, crispy bacon, fresh tomato, caramelised onion, lettuce, relish and mayo. All the burgers do not come with the fries so you can make that decision of getting or not getting the fries.

Besides burgers, Feed also has an extensive menu covering from salads, sandwiches, schnitzel to lasagna. For breakfast or brunch lovers, Feed also offers eggs, omelette and all day breakfast.

Chicken Parmigiana

The crumbed chicken breast from chicken parmigiana was made in the house. Marinara sauce and melted cheese topped the chicken and the meal came with chips and salad.

Most of the offerings in the Feed are homemade, including the bechamel sauce of lasagna.

For drinks, I ordered the apple, orange and pear juice. The Feed allows us to choose a mix from orange, pineapple, apple, lemon, carrot, celery, mint, cucumber and pear to customise our freshly squeezed juice. The juice was really fresh and made a great thirst quenching and detox drink .

'Sawadeekap! Sabai dee mai?'
'Sabai sabai.'

This Thai greeting can be the most heartwarming words that you can get. 'Sabai' in Thai refers to being happy and comfortable, feeling fine and take it easy. It transmits the sense of comfort and laid-backness, which is the philosophy behind Sabai cafe.

Sabai cafe is a cosy cafe situated near to popular Glenelg which serves Thai fusion food.  In addition, this cafe is also vegetarian friendly due to the variety of vegan offerings. Classics with a twist always catch the attention of my taste buds and this cafe is not an exception. Celebrating the start of our winter break, me and my friends made a visit to the cafe. 

The Thai lunch menu is only available from Wednesday to Sunday and fortunate for us, we went on one of those days. My friend ordered the Khow phad pik gaang which was the spicy Thai style fried rice with onion, capsicum, spring onion, carrot and soft fried egg on top. 

What I would like to commend was the soft fried egg was served up to the expectation. The soft egg yolk was runny and the egg had a crisp border. The rice was not gluggy and had a subtle hint of spiciness in it. I would actually prefer it to be spicier. The lemon which came with the dish gave freshness and sourness to the fried rice.

Pad Thai is an essential order in every Thai restaurant and so there wasn't an exclusion from our table. The vegetarian Pad Thai had stir fried rice noodle with egg, spring onion, bean sprouts, crushed nuts and coriander. It was not oily and had a considerably big portion. Not the best Pad thai that we have ever tasted but it was sufficient for a satisfying meal.

Another vegetarian dish on the table was the Thai bean curd salad. The fresh marinated bean curd was accompanied by mixed crispy salad and herbs, doused with refreshing Thai style dressing. I did not manage to taste the dish but it did look amazing. My friend was satisfied with his order.

Lastly, I ordered the curried lamb shank, mint, chickpea, pumpkin pie with sweet potato chips and coriander, cashew nut salad. The lamb shank pie was amazing! The addition of coriander seed on top added another dimension in terms of aroma to the pie. The lamb shank was cooked perfectly and shredded to be added together with chickpea and mashed pumpkin as the pie filling. The pastry was made so good and flaky that I cannot resist to pick up the residual fallen pieces of pastry on the plate. In conclusion, it was a good pie. 

The sweet potato chips did not come out as what I had expected. The sweet potatoes were shaved into thin long pieces and deep fried. Some bits were crunchy but some were not. I would prefer the chips to be hand cut. The salad came with sweet chilli dressing and was executed well.

It was a pleasant meal for me and I loved my lamb shank pie (especially the pastry). If you are thinking to have a modern Thai fusion food, this cafe is probably a good place to go. ทานให้อร่อยนะครับ (Bon appetit)!

Australia is blessed with the sexy coastal line, stunning blue-green seas and relaxing beaches. The view of the sea never fails to mesmerise me, especially after I visited the famous Whitehaven Beach at the Great Barrier Reef region.
