For the first time in 11 years, Gin Long Canteen is opening up for weekend lunches. From the 1st to the 22nd of December, Gin Long Canteen is welcoming guests to experience their Summer Lunch Series.
Every Sunday throughout December there will be a playful twist on Gin Long’s signature dishes, which reflect the team’s rich backgrounds in Malaysian, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine. Guests can expect a new menu format, new dishes, and acoustic live music throughout the afternoon.
The Sunday lunches will run from 12pm to 4pm. Get together a group of your loved ones, dine on long tables, and celebrate Gin Long’s ethos: “Eat big, drink well, live long.” What better opportunity to kick back and come together for a long, lazy lunch?
Step into a vibrant space with colourful neon accents that instantly bring the energy and spirit of Southeast Asia to Adelaide. As the name suggests, Gin Long represents the team’s love of gin. They’ve built a reputation for serving unique gin cocktails, using house-infused blends and seasonal fruits.
Gin Long is led by head chefs Sam Chang and Dan Dao, whose expertise has shaped the canteen’s cuisine for over five years. Featured on the Summer Lunch’s menu is Hokkaido scallop with tom yum mousse and lemongrass, and SA blue swimmer crab with orange miang served on betel leaf. The menu also includes a mini banh mi featuring grilled pork sausage and house-made chicken liver pâté. Other standouts include the claypot rice with braised shiitake mushroom and char siu pork belly, and a refreshing green mango salad with snake bean and nahm jin dressing.
“We designed this lunch series for December, the perfect time for friends and family to catch up
in a festive setting. With live music, a shared-style meal, and even a kids’ menu, we wanted to
create an experience everyone can enjoy. This series gives our guests a chance to explore the
finer side of Gin Long’s usual casual canteen-style dining, with special dishes that go beyond
our regular menu,” shared owner, Wen.
Since 2013, Gin Long Canteen has been bringing Southeast Asian cooking, a passion for authentic cuisine, and the best of home-cooked flavours to the heart of Adelaide. Staying true to its roots, Gin Long Canteen captures the essence of Southeast Asia in every dish, delivering exceptional value without
compromising on quality.
With limited seating available, guests are encouraged to book early for this exclusive summer dining experience.
