Chong Co Thai on the Kingston Foreshore offers a lovely lakeside setting in the good weather (but can also be busy and noisy in winter). Service is excellent. Serves are generous and flavours delicious.

However, prices per dish tend to be $2-3 more than the sister restaurants, perhaps to cover the higher rent.

The chicken green curry and beef massaman curry are excellent, as are the prawn and the chicken cashew nut stir fries.

Suggested shared menu for six people (2 dishes per 3 people is plenty)
