A new face to the noodle competition

Thursday 16th October – Late Lunch

Down a little road called Quay St, opposite Central station and Railway square, you will find a surprising number of cheap and cheerful Asian tastes. We are frequent visitors to this street and decided that for our first review, we would review a place there on it’s first legs.

Yummy One offers a decent choice of dishes with South Chinese influence. We both ordered noodle dishes – the Singapore noodles and the combination fried rice noodle dish, and a serve of steamed dumplings to top it off.

Both dishes were ready quite quickly and the dumplings followed not too far behind. The flavours in the food were from the get go; extremely present, in a good way of course, this made every bite enjoyable. The servings were nice and large, and great value. In saying this the Singapore noodles is a very dry dish so near the end of this giant serve you are left with a need for a bit of water. On the other hand, the combination noodle dish was great, except for being too much to actually finish. Shining above the rest were the superior steamed dumplings, these were incredibly good, the sauce was amazing!!

And all above, we both ate for a total bill of just shy of $30.

As we forgot to take a picture of our dishes, here is a shot of them well enjoyed!

The restaurant itself is tiny, as with most noodle and dumpling houses in this area, so expect to not have enough room to swing a cat. As we opted for a late lunch, we had no difficulty finding a table. The service was average. There was a nice lady behind the counter ready to take your order but after the process was done and you are dusted you off. When the dishes were served by the same lady there was no naming go dishes as they were placed, lucky we knew the food we were having, which would help aid people who did not know exactly what they were ordering.

All that said and done, Yummy One is a nice place to eat if you’re not expecting the world, just looking to grab a quick feed of noodles or a stir-fry. If Yummy One wants to stay ahead of other places in it’s area it will need to pick up its game in a few ways.
