Feng Wei Wee

It was a cool and inexpensive lunch yesterday at Feng Wei Wee Taiwanese restaurant along Wilson St. in San Juan.  We arrived at 11:30 am and the place was just about to get full.  Parking though was bit tight and we were lucky to get the last slot.  The food was hot and nicely prepared; we had polonchay in garlic, steamed meat roll, cha bihon, kiampung (sticky rice flavored with meat and peanuts), oysters in tausi (black bean) sauce, steamed dumplings, fried rice and three cups chicken.  I understand from some friends that this restaurant had a turo-turo (Tagalog for "point-point," meaning one points at a viand and gets a serving thereof in a jiffy)  style branch in the Banawe area but I'm not aware if this branch is still operation at this time.  or dessert, Vicky and Monique took some pastries from their sister company, Formosa bakeshop, which had a display right at the entrance of the restaurant.  The coffee cookies were a welcome treat, as was the Korean bread and the sweet onion bread.  All in all, we spent some P300 per head, and I think that was money well spent!
