The Best Chinese Roast Duck and Roast Pork in Adelaide

My visit to Adelaide is incomplete without a visit to my favourite Chinese roast duck and roast pork restaurant. To me, Hong Fat BBQ Restaurant serves the best Chinese roast duck and roast pork in Adelaide.

The restaurant is situated in Chinatown, near the Adelaide Central Market. You can easily recognise the restaurant by looking out for the roast pork and roast ducks hanging outside the shop’s side window. The restaurant’s interior is not very posh. Hence, the prices of the meals there are very reasonable. My husband and I can get a meal for roughly $10 which can be shared between the two of us because of its large portions. Imagine having a complete Chinese meal of meat, vegetables and rice for two people at around $10…That’s only $5 per person!

When you order the Chinese roast duck and roast pork in Hong Fat BBQ Restaurant, you can choose to have your roast duck and roast pork served with rice. You can also choose to takeaway the roast duck and roast pork and cook your own rice at home.

My husband and I will usually order the two combination meat (roast duck and roast pork) or the (roast pork and BBQ pork) since my husband loves their BBQ pork. If we are doing our grocery shopping in Chinatown and have no time to get home to cook the rice, we would order the combination meat and rice. If we are not in a hurry to eat straight away, we would normally takeaway the meat and cook the rice ourselves. By cooking the rice ourselves, we get to save money on our food expenses.

We introduced many of our friends and family members to the roast duck and roast pork at Hong Fat BBQ Restaurant. They were all very happy with the roast duck and roast pork that were served there.

Besides the roast duck and roast pork, Hong Fat BBQ Restaurant also serves other delicious ala-carte meals such as sweet and sour pork with rice; roast pork and beancurd in bean sauce with rice; battered fish and sweet corn sauce with rice; and salt and pepper whitebait with rice. Most of the dishes we ate there were really delicious.

No matter how many roast ducks and roast pork I ate at various restaurants in Adelaide, to me, Hong Fat BBQ Restaurant still serves the best Chinese roast duck and roast pork in Adelaide. Try it and you’ll love it!

Rundle Spices, Adelaide, South Australia

Whenever I am in Adelaide, South Australia, I always look forward to dining at Rundle Spices. Rundle Spices is Chinese/Malaysian/Thai influenced restaurant serving a wide variety of dishes from finger food to main course meals.

The restaurant is situated at Rundle Street, just minutes away from Adelaide’s famous Rundle Mall shopping centre. The restaurant is opened for lunch and for dinner. If you want to get better value for your money, I would recommend you to go there during lunch time as they would have set lunch menus on offer at a fraction of the price as compared to if you were to dine there for dinner.

Although there are many dishes to choose from at Rundle Spices, Adelaide, my husband and I would always order their Thai fried rice and fried spring rolls as those dishes give us the best value for our money. As the Thai fried rice comes in a huge serving portion, we are able to share one plate of fried rice and just order a plate of fried spring rolls for our side dish.

We have been to Rundle Spices, Adelaide, South Australia many times and we were never disappointed. Their food tastes very authentic, their waitresses are very polite and helpful; and they always give us very fast service. The interior of the restaurant is also very pleasant and the chairs there are really comfortable.

If you like the outdoors and mother nature, then Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens is the place to be. The garden is home to a stunning mass display of magnolias, rhododendrons, camellias and roses. The best time to visit the garden is during the spring and autumn seasons because this is the time when the magnificent flowers are blooming.

If you love walking, explore the garden through its walking trails. If not, just sit down and relax while having a picnic by the lakeside with your family and friends.
