ATTENTION STEAK (and hot chip) EATERS:
Tuesday nights is $15 steak and BOTTOMLESS fries at the Saracens.
This is a good deal even if you don't eat meat.
We (Carrie) would happily eat fifteen dollars worth of fries. Regardless, the steak is quality.
Tuesday night in our house = steak night date night.
Team steak night with laundry night and you've got a winning combo (the laundromat is directly across the road).
TIP: If you select washing machine # 3 and sit in a certain booth in the pub you can enjoy a delicious meal while keeping an eye on your laundry and see when it's finished!

Delicious, Chinese food everywhere! See Thanh Thanh for pho, Dumpling King for cheap dumplings, T-Chow or Ding Hao for yum cha, or Cafe Kowloon is a bit of an institution in Adelaide (but be prepared to wait in line). China Town is a always good pick for a late night meal if you're out and about looking for some dinner!
