Yummy in my tummy
I've been visiting Yummy Cuisine for a few years now and for me their signature dish has always been the Penang Char Tway Teow ($10) with a nice amount of wok hei and good spread of ingredients. They're pretty consistent most of the time. Other dishes I've had a few times and worthy of ordering are the Hainanese Chicken Rice ($9.50) which had moist meat, Ayam Goreng ($9.50) with crispy skin and Wonton Noodle Soup ($9) with nice wontons and al dente noodles. The Penang Har Mee ($9.50) has a good mix of ingredients although the broth is not as robust in flavour as I'd prefer and would love some fried pork fat sprinkled on top for extra yummy flavour but that seems hard to find in the CBD. It's located sort of underground in the passageway between MLC Centre and Martin Place Train Station. Seating is very limited outside but fairly quick in turnaround. Service is efficient and will bring out your dish to your seat when ready so grab a spot after ordering. Keep in mind on a cold windy day you can feel the weather from the open roof area nearby.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Efficient and friendly service, Lots of classic hawker style dishes, Reasonably priced
CONS: Limited seating, Area is a bit exposed to the outside weather if windy, No toilet
MUST TRY: Char Tway Teow, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Ayam Goreng, Wonton Noodle Soup
VERDICT: Cheap and cheerful place that has most of the Asian classics you might be craving for a quick lunch. I haven't tried everything on the menu but that's probably because I keep going back to my favourites.

wow simon, was just editing my photos for this and you posted this up! Love yummys. Thanks for introducing me to this!
loved the laksa here :). great hidden find!
really enjoyed the laksa here. great hidden find :).
Love this place for a quick, cheap, tasty eat in a frenetic part of town. Thanks for introducing me to it Simon.
I try to avoid restaurants with the word "yummy" in the name but the food does look good. Even the Hainanese Chicken, which I'm not a big fan of.
Dear Simon,
The prawn noodles look pretty tasty and generous.
About the lady in the middle of the photo - She returned the change I had forgotten to take... a week or so after I had visited!
I was really surprised by her honesty even though it was a dollar or two. That's a memory I will continue to have for her and the shop!
I've been past but have never tried. The pics look good, decent servings too.
I've walked past that place a million times and have never been! Love a good Hainam Kei Fan... Do you get to choose breast vs thigh?
hi bob, great timing and glad you enjoy the place.
hi annie, i actually haven't tried their laksa yet so will have to give it a go. has been hard to go past all these other dishes they do well.
hi tony, no worries tony, glad you've enjoyed the place. very much a hawker style setup
hi gaby, i know what you mean. it's a bit like places saying Best Thai etc. but these guys seem to come good :-)
hi chopinandMysaucepan, i do like it when they're generous on the prawns
hi anonymous, that's great to hear. lovely people working hear wanting to do the right thing.
hi thang, hopefully you'll get to try soon.
hi olivia, i can't remember if they have both breast and thigh but i always go for thigh when i have a choice as it tends to be more moist in general.

Hi Simon, the prawn noodles (Penang Char Tway Teow) look amazing!! How hot and spicy were they?
hi neel, not too spicy. i think they allows allow for extra spice to be added on top of the order :-)
