    Great catch up with former neighbours at Foong Wei Heong Restaurant followed by dessert at Swatow Lane Ice Kacang. An afternoon of laughter and reminisce of our childhood days when we used to stay in the same neighbourhood.

    A foolproof way to tell if an eatery is good is to observe the size of its crowd. Crammed with regulars to the point of being rowdy, Foong Wei Heong certainly passes that test.

    Made reservation in advance. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, but the food was fairly average and lacked standout flavors. The service was acceptable and the staff were polite but not especially attentive.

    We had pre-ordered our food and asked them to serve it as soon as we arrived. After waiting half an hour, we went to ask, and they said they forgot to tell the kitchen.

    about as good as it gets for fancy eating. best thing on table was chun piah, which in classic form is worthy custodian of sepia tinge and fringe. there're also prawn rolls, with actual bits and pieces sticking out.

    Excellent local Malaysian Chinese cuisine, the food here is amazing and it is definitely better than any Chinese restaurant we ever tried in Sydney. The crab meat soup is a must try.
