    Thought I’d give the housemate a break from making my meals since I still can’t touch any shared spaces, so I ordered some lunch with enough leftovers for tea and jesus fkn christ it’s highway robbery out there.

      We found a Thai joint on the weekend that was ridiculously cheap. Like pre-covid cheap. 4 mains, 1 entree, 1 large coconut rice…under $75 (take away)

      I saw their website pricing and had to call to make sure it wasn’t an old site.

            damn assuming the portion sizes weren’t bad that’s a steal.

              They fill up the standard container. Kids had pad-thai and had leftover. I had curry, and maybe I would have likes a bit more protein, it filled me up. Wife had a stir fry with seafood, and there was a surprising amount of prawns (froze sure, but still).

              Prices on par with local joints too. I just like the Springs one cause it’s so much cheaper when doing takeaway. Probably wouldn’t pay their dine-in prices, as we have some better options.

                The funny thing is no one comes to Melton for their food except for this guy. Hahaha.

                I love how CS has Gotham Doughnuts now. Very dangerous.

                  The amount of ‘bad’ food joints (albeit delicious) in CS is getting out of hand.

                  A few decent Indian places too

            The pricing is pretty cheap, even I’d give it a shot if I was down that way.
