Well, I’ve fallen well behind by food/travel posts so I thought I’d jump back in with my latest adventure where my partner and I explored the new Rhodes central. This adventure had only started out with wanting to try a Korean dog and grab an ice cream. However, we decided to expand the scope and try a few other things.
Rhodes Central Food
Arirang Hotdog | Korean Hotdog
This adventure started with something that I’ve wanted to try for a while, Koren Fried Sausage. I’ve seen so many YouTube videos of others trying it and I was so curious to see what it was like. My partner was worried that it would be super heavy and greasy like the American-style fried sausage. However, as I’ve never had the American version I didn’t really have a reference point to compare it against.
We ordered a half and a half from Arirang Hotdog that included a mozzarella stick at the top and sausage at the bottom fried in a really nice light batter. I added some tomato sauce and mustard to balance out the strong flavour. The stick was so delicious. The batter was light, not greasy and super crunchy. The mozzarella stick had such a satisfying cheese pull and the sausage was fantastic. I’d definitely recommend giving this a go as a special treat!
On my next visit, I really want to try the egg toast!!
Maopo | Noodle Soup
The next stop was something savoury. We wandered around the ground floor until we found something that caught our interest.
We selected a chicken and mushroom soup from Maopo. This was a delicious flavourful soup with noodles. The mushrooms were tender and the chicken was full of flavour.
My only complaint was that I wish the dish was a little warmer (temperature-wise). But it was hot enough.
Auvurs | Chicken Sando
Auvurs have opened their 3rd location which is their second location for Rhodes. This one had fewer food options and is more of a drinking spot including beer and cocktails. However, there are some limited food options such as burgers and sandwiches.
We decided to split a chicken katsu sando and get a drink each. I went with the matcha latte and my partner grabbed a coffee (serving Ona coffee). Both drinks were delicious and well made. Exactly as I’d expect considering the quality at their other Rhodes location.
The sando was delicious! Really well balanced with crispy chicken. It was the perfect end to the savoury part of our food adventure.
Tasty Towns Gelato | Icecream
The last stop on our adventure was Tasty Towns Gelato. We have visited previously a few times and instantly fell in love. The ice cream is smooth and creamy while being full of flavour.
I grabbed a kids-size cup (I was pretty full at this point) and my partner grabbed the single where you can get two flavours. I can’t remember exactly what flavour we got, only that they were amazing!
Overall
Rhodes Central has some great food options and is well worth checking out!
I loved trying a few new things plus revisiting a few favourites.
