Yuet Wah Chinese Restaurant

I’d get food here again. Price was average. Food was slightly above average. Service was unexceptional but appropriate.
I was in the area by SuperCheap in Taringa and had a craving for Chinese food. It was convenient since the bus stopped right there.
I ordered beef with egg noodles, veggie and rice and dim sim. The portion was a bit small (compared to what you can get in the US at any Chinese restaurant) but I guess it’s normal portions here. Had a long walk home but the food was still hot and surprisingly pretty good.
I’ve had authentic versions of most Asian dishes so can tell when something has been «Americanise». This typically means, too much salt, too much sugar… or just some imbalance that takes away from the dish. The dishes I got weren’t too salty and I was able to taste each ingredient and each one came together pretty well.
If go here again for Chinese food.

Good food quick service I used to go here lots when I lived in Taringa.

So, it was raining, I had just finished a terrible shift work and it felt like my stomach had collapsed into an aching black hole. Conscious of the fact that I needed to eat something before my stomach began to munch on my already struggling liver, I ran into the first place I saw: Yuet Wah.
Now, I normally hate ordering takeout for one because you always end up with too much rice and too much of one particular meal. On occasion I have compensated for this by buying two different meals with the intention of saving some for leftovers — only to find myself 30 minutes later with peking sauce all over my face and shirt with not a morsel left. My binge eating problem aside, Yuet Wah has an excellent range of solo diner options that includes both rice and a reasonable serving of a particular meal. Being the stinge I am I was ecstatic when I discovered that I was able to receive all of this for less then $ 10!
As I waited for my meal I began to check the rest of restaurant out. The dining area was a little uninspired but perfectly practical. There were tables, chairs and wine buckets, but that was pretty much it. I began to wonder what this place was before it was a restaurant that seems to offer meals from every single country in Asia. It quite clearly used to be a house. What type of people used to live in a house that is now a takeaway restaurant? The point I’m getting at is that the atmosphere wasn’t convincing and seemed induce bouts of nostalgia.
When I returned home I quickly ate my Mongolian Lamb with rice on my bed watching some documentary hosted by Oprah about the holocaust. As you can tell it wasn’t the best evening ever but it may have had very little to do with my trip to Yuet Wah. The food was decent but it isn’t something you’d write home about. Regardless I licked the takeaway container clean and went to bed.
