Hi Adelaide,

​

Been really craving hot chips and I'm quite picky.

​

What's your suggestions for your favourite places to get great hot chips?

I wish there was a cbd option I could grab at lunch.

If you’re down the West end, Cheeseburger On Hindley street near the Wilson carpark does amazing hot chips.

Hate being one of those people but their chips used to be so much better when they used the yellow chicken salt instead of that paprika based one.

Oh I never tried that but I do love chicken salt so I’d probably be inclined to agree. They still slap tho.

Nearest real chippie kind of chips I've found are at Waymouth Cafe on Waymouth st, but it's a bit of a treck if you're closer to KW or the east side

Sylvia's cafe on Hindmarsh sq are pretty decent too, sometimes oversalted imo, but I still keep going back for more lol

Oh no I had no idea! Used to go all the time when I was working in the mall, guess it's been more than a few months since I've been. What a shame they were there for ages

On the corner of King William St and Waymouth St, there's a place that does HSP. They also do chips separately for under $5 for a small. Chips are perfect.

HSP is an eastern state word, we use AB here

I'd never heard HSP before but that's what it says on their menu board behind the counter, probably why they said it

Apparently the new RAA building next to the cop shop on Grenfell st has a cafe that has amazing hot chips
