Robert Sliwowski aka Bobby Chez is well known in South Jersey for his delicious crab cakes as well as his earlier days as the chef/owner of Chez Robert restaurant in its’ three different locations from 1976 until 1995.

You never know what you’re gonna get.
On a recent Friday night, we met 6 of our friends for a family style meal at Hong Kong Fusion in Cherry Hill. We thought it would be a fun place for a group outing-if you order a little of this and a little of that, you can work your way through different parts of the menu pretty easily. I learned that share-sies are the way to go when I worked near Chinatown in New York City. I was blessed to have a colleague whose family owned a Chinese restaurant. She knew the best places to go and the best things to order, so we always dined family style and let her pick the food.
