Markets & festivals
Find us at the market
Where a love for food and people meet.
Our passion for markets was ignited at the Skoenies Village Fair. Gale-force winds, pouring rain, woks carried up four flights of stairs: all in a day’s work to deliver the Foong’s experience people travel and queue for.

Our story

Good food.Great culture.Big flavour.

Since the early 1930s, the Foong family has fed Mount Pleasant and surrounds. Our doors were open fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, and regulars soon became part of the family. No day was complete without a visit to Foong’s.

Today Grant & Nina Foong take that same welcome on the road, to markets, festivals and functions of every size. 街头小吃 means street snacks, and it’s still the whole idea: real food, made with care, served with a smile.

01
Made by hand
Our sauces and dim sum are made by hand, with no preservatives.
02
Honest ingredients
Free-range chicken and pork, never frozen. Asian veggies grown for us, pesticide-free.
03
Family since the 1930s
Regulars became part of the family. They still do.
