Whether you work in The City or are merely visiting, you’re going to need to refuel with some lunchtime fare to get you through the day. So you don’t end up dropping half of your weekly pay on your midday feed, Queen Street Mall is slinging some wallet-friendly eats that are worth taste testing. You can cure your cravings with a moreish vegan salad poke bowl for $11.90 from Spud Bar in Wintergarden, packed with the likes of beetroot, corn, avocado, edamame and more on a bed of sweet potato. The centre is also home to the mouth-watering Asian-inspired eats of Hokka Hokka, where you can devour one dish for $11.90 or two dishes for $13.90, both served with your choice of rice or noodles – all you have to do is mention this offer to get that extra-special price. Dollar-saving dumplings await at New Shanghai in QueensPlaza, where you can get eight steamed xiao long bao pork morsels for just $10.80 (hello, brothy goodness!), or Greek-food lovers can get their fix with a Tzimmy Classic chicken or pork pita wrap for $11.50 from Zeus Street Greek, which will conveniently leave you with some extra cash to splash on some haloumi chips (it would be rude not to). If all of this delicious nosh has got you feeling thirsty, you can sate your senses with a boba tea for you and your mates from Chatime, who are pouring four drinks for just $20 (that’s $5 a pop!) – just mention “April four for $20” to redeem and you’ll be the office hero.
