About
Asian Gourmet is a legendary spot in the Central Market, famous for its Laksa and Char Kway Teow. It is a no-frills, fast-paced hawker-style eatery that draws huge crowds. While the food is generally praised for its authentic flavours, the service is notoriously grumpy and the seating is tight. It is a classic Adelaide experience, but don't expect a warm welcome.
