Last week, work sent me and a couple of my colleagues to Adelaide, South Australia to look after one of our business centres there. We were fortunate enough to be accommodated at the Stamford Grand Adelaide Hotel in Glenelg; a picturesque tourist area situated on the shores of Holdfast Bay about 25 minutes from the CBD. I always look forward to these business trips and the number one reason is food. Variety is the spice of life as the saying goes and eating out especially on a work subsidised expedition is no exception. One of these “outs” as it were was a quaint little Indian restaurant located within the hotel itself. Read More
Red Cliff silently sneaked itself into my Top Five favourite places to eat after merely a few visits. My first dining experience there was well over a year ago after the coaxing of an enthusiastic friend who happens to be a friend of the owner/chef.

As an asian with a Chinese/Malaysian background to boot, going to a place that is known for wings so spicy that it will “take you to hell and back” is something I knew I had to cross off my proverbial food bucket list.
So, late last month, a friend and I decided to make the trek down to the CBD, to test our mettle against what was being called the spiciest wings in Melbourne!
Who wins? Who loses? More importantly. . . are these wings just overdosed scoville skewers or is there something here that will keep us coming back for more?
