Ipoh Foh San Dim Sum

My favourite Golden Har Gao

Apparently I love to visit Foo San Dim Sum on a Sunday because they have this Sunday Only unorthodox looking dim sum. I think that I have this minor youth Alzheimer's syndrome that I could not remember the name of these lovely goodies that I have to made it up myself!! Please bear with me people...



Loh Mai Kai in Bao Blanket - Yes, actually loh mai kai is keeping itself warm by hiding beneath a layer of soft and fluffy pao skin.

Sun Rise - The salted egg yolk played well with the the other textures of the dim sum; the thinner outmost layer is crispy, followed by another layer of bouncy fish cake and lastly the seaweed.

Triangle Love - Unrequited love between century egg, prawns and pork has created a very romantic yet complicated relationship (ermm taste).

Peking Duck Wrap Minus the Peking Duck - Wrap Skin? Checked. Cucumbers? Checked. Hoi Sin Sauce? Checked. Crispy Duck Skin? MIA. Bits of pork floss and a slice of char siu is actually a better combination than the crispy duck skin itself.

Typical Stir Fried Radish Cake Pretending As Dim Sum - The radish cake cubes are evenly coated with the thick and sweet savoury dark sauce. I can't stop nibbling on the crunchy dried shrimps, salted radish bit and the XL sized bean sprouts of Ipoh.After numerous time of eating and fighting for a table in Foo San, I've come out with my own strategies - Be there as early as 7 am or as late as 11 am. Its hard to get a table during peak hour, and after you get seated bring your bill to the cart and take your own dim sum as the waitress are too busy to entertain you.
