As we navigate the new normal living with COVID, I’ve been trying to find eateries that aren’t packed with people inside. I’m happy to find that Sonamu Korean has plenty of dining spaces inside and out. Standing outside, it doesn’t look like a big space.

Working from home now means I can walk down to the Kingston Foreshore every now and then for lunch. Coconine Thai has a good lunch specials menu with prices between the $12-$16 mark. The laksa, with chicken or tofu, ($15) has three types noodles included – egg noodles, flat thick rice flour noodles, and crunchy […] Read more…
It was exciting news when the Boat House decided to open its doors for lunch services from Friday to Sunday. A prix fixe lunch menu is offered and diners can choose from either 2 or 3 course options. The best part – not everyone at the table has to have the same number of courses. […] Read more…
