Chilli Chi

This place has some seriously tasty food. This restaurant really focuses its menu and only does things that its good at. The selections of wine were brilliant, the staff were friendly although there was slight problems with communication as the waitresses english was not great.
We had the vietnamese spring rolls, chi special fried rice, pad thai, crispy choo chi barramundi extra spicy, roast duck in tamarind sauce and fried ice-​cream for dessert.
The main courses were amazing, constantly surprising us.
The spring rolls were made in-​house and probably the best spring rolls I’ve had in Adelaide. The crispy barramundi was also extremely good, the coconut was not overwhelming but the creamy texture was still maintained in the sauce. The stand out dish though was definitely the roast duck in tamarind sauce. When my father choose this item (we have a system where everyone chooses a dish and we share), I have to tell you I was skeptical. All the previous dishes with tamarind that I have tried is generally in indian food — where it is in the form of a chutney or mixed with spices where its taste is lost. The sweetness of the tamarind remains but is not overpowering and is accompanied with citrus flavours and star of anise.
The dessert, fried rice and pad thai were nice but a little overpriced.
Although the food at this restaurant was excellent, it is slightly overpriced for some of the meals. I can’t wait to go back! I think I’ll try some of their specials next time.
