High class eating is kept in the confides of expensive restaurants. Try telling that to the 'Sunch' designed by Soo Kang Lee.

The Sunch is a microwave/dishwasher-safe [portable picnic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-home-hyde). The [average-sized lunch box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box) unzips and folds out into a table for easy eating.

Soo Kang Lee's Sunch is equipped with [multiple containers both big and small](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish) (one's a fold-out), as well as a plate and bowl set.

The Sunch allows you to indulge in a lavish lunch every day and soon become the party of the park.
