Yummy Chinese Cuisine Menu

Yummy Chinese Cuisine is a family-friendly restaurant inside Church Corner Mall, open for both lunch and dinner at its Riccarton Road address. Guests can settle in for a dine-in meal, bring their own wine or use the takeaway service. The format works especially well for groups: the long, varied menu is made for placing several dishes at the centre of the table and combining different proteins, vegetables and sauces.

A meal can begin with a restorative soup or a collection of crisp starters. Fish-maw and chicken soup, hot-and-sour soup and wonton soup cover three distinct broths. Fried squid, pork lantern dumplings, prawn twisters, spring rolls and curry samosas then shift the emphasis towards sharing. That breadth makes it possible to construct an opening round that ranges from delicate and warming to richly fried and spicy.

The restaurant's namesake dishes give the menu a recognisable house signature. Mildly spiced battered Yummy Chicken is joined by sesame-topped Yummy Pork, marinated rib-eye Yummy Steak served on a sizzling plate and coconut-coated king prawns. Seafood choices extend much further, including whole fish with chilli, sambal or ginger and garlic, fish cooked with preserved mustard greens, plus mussel, squid and king-prawn preparations.

There is equal depth away from the signature plates. Tofu, Chinese vegetables and vegetarian dishes provide meat-free routes through the menu, while crispy noodles, stir-fried noodles, nasi goreng and Yang Chow rice can anchor a shared order. Roast duck and braised pork belly sit alongside cumin lamb and venison, allowing a table to move from everyday noodle and rice combinations into more substantial chef-led dishes.
