Happy Bowl, Adelaide 06-2016

Geez Adelaide, you need to do something about your food hours. After noticing how early things close on Thursday evening, seeing that many things are closed on Sunday afternoon is ridiculous. Even places that Zomato and Google state are open weren't. In particular, I really wanted to try Kutchi Deli Parwana (whose own website states open 7 days per week) but the closed door on a Sunday 2pm said otherwise.

After seeing Golden Boy, Mandoo and many others also closed I had to wonder why Sunday lunch is such a desolate field in Adelaide.

Eventually I settled on Happy Bowl, a small Chinese place where I everyone else was a Mandarin-speaking student-aged person.

- Spicy Chicken Noodles $10.8 - the chicken was strongly flavoured, however limited in amount and parts even cold in the middle (obviously precooked and refridgerated). The soup had a bit of spice but lacked actual broth flavour;
- Fried Dumplings in Chicken Juice $10.5 - I'm not sure where the chicken juice is, but these homemade dumplings were fantastic. Good dough, nicely fried bottom, juicy tasty filling that was enhanced by Chinkiang vinegar, and some kind of small tasty brown crisp wisps full flavour.

Next time I would order a whole lot of dumplings and be happy with that meal.
