Food Junky Part 3

IPOH


Foh San

I mentioned this place earlier. Best Dim Sum in Malaysia apart from Petaling Street.....i dunno how far this is true but to me it is....correct me if you have a better place to name and i will check it out..neways....as always with good eateries, this place crawls with singaporeans on weekends. Chances of a table in the mornings are very slim unless you're outside the joint by 6.30 am or 7.00 am latest. Dim Sum fare is the usual variety..steamed seafood dumplings, fried dumplings, the works..but you do enjoy breakfast here...plus the satisfaction of munching as slowly as you can on a prawn dumpling while being watched by a group of starving singaporeans is an added bonus. Have to be thick skinned though and really kiasu to get a table.

Try the jasmine tea.....the jasmine flavour does hit you instead the usual stuff in KL where the sad soggy petals are the only indicator that you're drinking jasmine tea. Oh, and the kaya puffs here are bloody good. Homemade stuff (the way to see this is the texture of the kaya...homemade stuff is quite coarse..its not as smooth as the gardenia stuff ...and its NOT glutinuous).





Thats it.
Cheers.
