Big Ernies next door has been replaced by The Blue Goose, and they both serve the same food as Typhoon so you can choose to sit at the Typhoon or at The Blue Goose.
Anyway the lunch sets range from $58-$62, no service charge included but a $1 compulsory charity donation per person.
They have the set lunches on display, so you can see before you order, rice seems to be their speciality.
Last week when I walked past, they had some purple risotto that I found interesting.
I went the Typhoon in the mood hoping the super typhoon would be a ferocious but unfortunately it turned out to be a crappy typhoon!
There were 4 lunch sets: spaghetti puttanesca, fish, pork chop with risotto and mozzarella mushroom bun and chips.
All the set lunches come with soup/salad and a drink.
Ordered the pork chop with risotto and the mozzarella mushroom bun and chips.
I was attracted to both those sets, especially the risotto with peas and herbs, and the pure white mozzarella in the bun with grilled mushrooms.
The soup and salad arrived, the tomato and potato soup came first, the soup tasted a bit sweet but ok.
The risotto was as good as imagined and nicely flavoured with the herbs in the rice and peas, although it could have been slightly softer.
As for the bun, the mushrooms were grilled keeping the earthy taste of the mushrooms, and the mozzarella was placed in the bun and not grilled.
The bun was slightly old and dry, especially since it was a dusted bun.
The chips were the flat cut types, so I got some vinegar to go with it.
The mozzarella was how it should be, pure white, not melted to tastless stringy cheese.
To end the perfect lunch, there was a perfect cuppa in a pretty dark clear blue mug.
