Templeton Takeaways is a family-run takeaway on Kirk Road in Templeton, Christchurch, and its Chinese menu is the main draw. Roast pork and beef dishes come with rice or noodles, and customers single out the Roast Pork Fried Rice and the Beef Chow Mein. The Foo Young egg meals, with chicken, roast pork, beef or prawns, have rich, fluffy omelettes. Fried rice or fried noodles can be added for a couple of dollars. Customers praise the tender beef and chicken and the steady, familiar cooking, though one found the sauce a little salty. Fish and chips and tomato burgers sit on the same menu, and the place is plain and quick rather than fancy.
